This New Hampshire Campground is Perfect for First Time Campers
Last weekend my wife and I went up to the White Mountains to camp and tackle another NH 4,000 footer.
We were planning on hiking near Crawford Notch (one of the most beautiful parts of the White Mountains); however, we did not have a campground picked out.
We decided to give Crawford Notch General Store and Campground a try, and it was a hit!
After being there for the weekend, I have decided that Crawford Notch General Store and Campground is one of the best campgrounds for newer campers.
To start, the store is jam-packed with everything you may need/forgot on your trip. Many camp sores have firewood, a poncho, and some water/snacks…but this place had it ALL. Whether you forgot a small item, or you showed up empty-handed, the store at the campground had everything you would need for weeks.
Bathrooms and showers are always a concern for those new to camping. Some campgrounds have porterpotties, some have pit toilets, and others have no bathrooms or showers at all.
This campground had full bath houses with coin-operated hot water showers and fully flushable toilets.
Another concern for newer campers is water – both for drinking and for cleaning. This place had water stations ALL OVER the campground. And unlike many campgrounds, which ask you not to wash your dishes near their water source, Crawford Notch Campground had a table and recommended using it to clean dishes.
This campground had a variety of sites which was great to see. There are smaller sites near the road, larger and private sites along the Saco River, and even tipis and cabins for those looking for a more “glamping” experience.
If you plan on floating in the Saco River, hiking a 4,000-footer, or doing a smaller hike in or around Crawford Notch, this campground is at the center of it all.
You can get to downtown North Conway in 30 minutes, or you can get to a trailhead in half that time.
There is something for everyone and I would recommend the Crawford Notch Campground to ANY camper – inexperienced or seasoned.

A Massachusetts man was flown to the hospital after he was struck by a car when he stepped out of his vehicle in the breakdown lane of Interstate 93 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, on Saturday morning.
State police say 40-year-old Felix Matos Medina, of Lawrence, had stopped on the right side of I-93 south at Exit 5 just before 11 a.m. to investigate a possible mechanical issue. He was struck shortly after he stepped out of his vehicle by a Chevrolet Malibu and sustained serious injuries.
Medina was taken by medical helicopter to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Mass., police said. There was no immediate update on his condition.
I-93 southbound was closed near Exit 5 for about 30 minutes to facilitate the medical helicopter’s landing. One lane remained closed for several hours to accommodate crash reconstruction and on-scene investigation.
The driver who struck Medina, identified as David Jodoin, stopped at the scene and is cooperating with investigators, according to police. No charges have been filed at this time, but all aspects of the crash remain under investigation at this time.
Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Evan Puopolo at 603-451-9784.
State police are also reminding all New Hampshire drivers that Sherrill’s Law requires motorists approaching a stopped vehicle displaying warning signals to slow down and give plenty of space. Drivers are also required to move out of partially or wholly blocked lanes when it’s safe to do so.
