Dry River Campground, Crawford Notch State Park: camping even in the cold can be great....

  • Dry River is a great little campground with only 36 spots so it's best to reserve this if coming on the weekend. The spots are very roomy so you do not feel as if you are on top of your neighbor. We got there kind of late but it was very handy the next day as the rangers office is just up the road and great hikes too. We woke up and saw agreat sunrise on the Frankenstein Cliff that sits right next to the campground.

    Unique Qualities: The spots are well-spaced and there are small pit toilets throughout as well as the very modern toilet/shower facility at the main entrance. It is a very nice campground and a bargain for only $15 a night per tent.

    Greenleaf Hut: check out a hut if you can....
  • Tip Rating:
  • New Hampshire - well located Greenleaf Hut

  • The Appalachian Mountain Club has set up a great system of huts throughout the White Mountains and they are deservedly popular. With great mountain settings and homey rustic atmospheres they are the perfect solution for those wanting to spend more time in the mountains. We did not have time to spend the night in one on this trip but would surely look into it for the next time.

    Unique Qualities: The Greenleaf Hut is in a perfect location for doing the Franconia Ridge Trail. It is a very busy hut and not one to choose if you want solitude. That said, it was very comfy looking and the food smelled great. The prices for food were surprising not bad either. It is not cheap to stay in the nicer huts but meals are included and tough to argue with the location and views. Oh, but you must hike to get to the best of them, like the Greenleaf Hut.

     Nice tips and photos about New Hampshire. It looks like a lovely place -- I hope to visit someday.

     Nice overview of the New Hampshire's beautiful White Mountains.

     I lived in NH most of my life, and I have always known how lucky I was. I was 1 hr. from the Mts, 30 mins. from the ocean, 63 miles from Boston, & beautiful lakes, mountains & scenery! There are NO taxes, and you can't beat the friendly people either!

     Terrific trail advice. Many of us Rhode Islanders find our way to NH for the lakes, mountains, and colorful leaves. Beautiful scenery.
