White Mountain National Forest Campgrounds: White Mountain National Forest Campgrounds
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Kancamagus Highway (NH Route 112) meanders through the White Mountain National Forest between Interstate Rt 93 and NH Rt 16. Along the way there are several National Forest campgrounds. My favorites are Jigger Johnson and Covered Bridge campgrounds, but nearly all offer great family camping.
    .
    Keep in mind the conditions are VERY rustic. Most campgrounds do not have hot showers or flushing toilets, however, Jigger Johnson does have these amenities. Without showers, most folks bathe in the nearby Swift River using biodegradable soap, but even in summer, the water is mighty chilly! Even so, the scenery and available outdoor activities make it all worthwhile.
    .

    Unique Qualities: See the website below for a complete listing of campgrounds and their amenities. Most campgrounds cost about $16 per night.

  • Well, it isn't The Ritz, but it'll do if you just don't want to drive home from the beach. I've stayed at the Dunes a few times under such conditions.

    Unique Qualities: It's relatively inexpensive, with rooms ranging from $65 to $100 per night. It's directly across the street from Jeness State Beach in Rye and just a few minutes north of Hampton and a few minutes south of Portsmouth on Route 1A. They have a pool and there's a convenience store right next door.

     I still mourn the loss of "the old Man"...and my time in Bristol. I'll have to make a trip back some day. Did you ever ski Tenney?

     I lived in NH until 3 years ago. The weather there isn't bad, like it was when I was a kid with winter temps below zero most of the time & LOTS of snow. I was very LUCKY to be there! Now I am 3 hrs. to beach & 4 hrs. to Mts. & it's humid as hell in NC!
