We enjoyed our stay at White Ledge Campground while visiting sites along the nearby Kancamagus Highway. The campground entrance is difficult to find because the sign is set far back from the road and only visible once we turned into the driveway. There are small signs on Route 16 in both directions alerting drivers to the campground ahead, but the entrance is still quite easy to miss. The paved road within the campground is in need of patching, but it's passable for now. Hopefully it will be repaired soon. Campsites are typical of other White Mountain National Forest campgrounds, with a mix of walk-in and drive-in sites. As typical, there are no hookups, and restrooms are pit toilets which were clean, and there is one central water faucet in the campground. It's perfect for low-key camping. There is a trash dumpster at each of the two loops, and a recycling dumpster at the entrance. Two hiking trailheads are located within the campground, White Ledge Trail, and Carter Ledge Trail. There are approximately four parking spaces for hikers at the small picnic area within the campground. Most campsites are heavily wooded, however there is a medium sized field, good for playing, in the middle of the campground, and some sites have open views to the field and sun. Route 16 is busy, and, logically, sites closer to the road can hear the road more than sites away from the road, however nighttime traffic was much less frequent than daytime traffic. Due to the road noise, campsites along the road are probably least desirable to most people unless there is nothing else available, but I always say, an available campsite is better than not camping at all. We'll happily return when we want to say in the area again.

Edit: Two new signs have been added. at the entrance that are very visible when approaching from either direction making any comments about the entrance being difficult to find obsolete. (Confirmed by off-season drive-by).
