There are 26 non-reservable wooded sites with gravel pads, fire rings, and picnic tables. A self-service pay system collects the fees on a first come, first serve basis.
TIPS:
* Allow no more than 8 people and 2 vehicles per site and keep all equipment (including tents, tables and motor vehicles) on the graveled area. This will minimize compaction, allow low vegetation to grow, and enhance privacy between sites.
* Build all fires in the ring provided. “Only YOU can prevent forest fires,” says Smoky Bear. This will eliminate unsightly charcoal spots that soil camping equipment and clothing.
* Observe quiet hours between 10 PM and 7 AM. Turn off audio devices during these times and play them at a reasonable volume at all other times. See the bulletin board for the rules about operating generators.
* Gather only dead and down firewood.
The picnic area is directly across from the campground, with it’s own water, waste containers, and restroom facilities. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built the picnic pavilion. A riverside setting offers one of the most beautiful views of Mt. Moosilauke.
Vault toilets are handicap accessible and equipped with cold water faucets. Refuse dumpster’s are provided; campers are encouraged to pack out their recyclables. There are no hookups, dump stations, showers or group camping sites available.
Moose are commonly seen along the banks of the Wild Ammonoosuc River. This river was the scene of major log drives in the 1900’s.

We set up a tent last minute, and the man that works there was very helpful and friendly. We'd definitely camp here again.
A good simple smaller campground. Three simple vault toilets, which were decently clean. There are scattered water faucets around the grounds. The campground itself was very quiet and got quite dark. You could hear the infrequent passing of vehicles on the adjacent highway throughout most the grounds, but it began to blend into the surroundings. Walkable access the small river across the road.
Had another awesome 10days!!! So much to do in The White mountains, National Forest!!! Thanks Bob n Carla our campground hosts...
Loved this camping spot. It's secluded yet nice and close to Lincoln and Woodstock plus all the other amazing trails in that area. Will definitely be staying again. Please respect the camp rules as always, keep it as clean as it was when you first arrived and enjoy!
Really enjoyed camping here. Beautiful fall colors in the area (stayed here the last weekend in September). Sites are well spaced out so you don't feel surrounded by neighbors. Our site was recently raked and the fire pit was clear/clean when we arrived. We had one of the closest sites to the road (site 2) but the highway is quiet during the evenings and we were not bothered by road noise. We did see that site 22 (a hike-in site) looked particularly nice as it's set down a slope from the campground road. We would try to reserve that one if available when we come back.
