Overview

Sugarloaf 2 is a scenic, remote campground in the northwoods of New Hampshire. Located near the western base of Mount Washington and 3 miles east of the small town Twin Mountain, the campground is minutes away from hiking, mountain biking, scenic driving, fishing and sightseeing opportunities.

The White Mountains boast pristine forests, clear mountain streams and rivers and the tallest peaks in the Northeast. The forest encompasses nearly 800,000 acres in New Hampshire and western Maine, and is one of the most popular in the country.

Recreation

Hiking is one of the biggest draws to the campground. Trails begin around the facility itself, as well as in the surrounding area. The 6,288-ft. Mount Washington, New England's highest peak, is just minutes away.

Access to the wild Ammonoosuc River is easy for campers wishing to fish for brook trout or wade in its cool waters during warmer summer months.

The campground is in close proximity to Bretton Woods ski resort and the upscale Mount Washington Hotel.

Facilities

The campground is in a rustic setting. Campsites are well spaced around a large loop, and some sit atop a ridge. Some also have a view of the nearby mountains.

Accessible restrooms and a hand pump for water are provided. There is no dump station, and the nearest showers are 10 miles away.

Natural Features

The facility sits near the banks of the cold, cascading Ammonoosuc River. Thick hardwood and pine forests fill the landscape. White Mountain National Forest is home to many species of northern wildlife, including moose, white-tailed deer and black bear. Almost 200 species of birds, including the rare Bicknell's Thrush, live within its boundaries.

Nearby Attractions

The small town of Twin Mountain has a general store, gas station and restaurants.

Numerous hiking trails, mountain biking trails and rock climbing routes are within a short drive of the campground, including the well-known Appalachian Trail.

The campsite was fantastic! We had a nice view for our time of year and the site drained very well with the rain we got. I highly recommend!!!

Clean campsites, clean composting toilets, several water pipes, well spaced campsites, no garbage left behind by prior campers. Campground host wasn't seen but had ample dry firewood for sale.

This is a wonderful campground considering its access to the sugarloaf trails. The campsites are really nice and quiet. This particular one has stairs between site and parking, so it took us a while to move our kitchen trailer up there… It’s such a nice place but the toilet facilities are primitive. I wish they could be upgraded to modern flushing toilets. During peak foliage seasons hiking people parked at the entrance of the campground and trespassed the campground to access the trail. It’s not a big deal but this would bring you some traffic and noise. It got really cold during our visit in early October. Keep yourself warm!

I have stayed at Sugarloaf 1 and 2 many times over the years. The caretakers, a couple, take care of 3 campgrounds with multiple sites. They do a fantastic job keeping all the sites and amenities in top notch condition. I look forward to my next trip up north.

Everything was fine, sites were tight for "group" label. but we were able to fit four tents tightly in site 7 and 4 more in site 8. Water access was good bathroom and trash was close. Bathrooms were a bit on the stinky side, but that's to be expected at end of season.
