I had a great time at White Ledge. A beautiful space with some good amenities: outhouse with toilets, locked trash for waste, and potable water spout for your water needs. There's two trails that would bring you to two different types of hikes (White Ledge and Carter Ledge which can bring you to the Middle Sisters and Mt. Chocorua) and I recommend both! They have firewood for sale on site as well, just make sure to bring cash for the camp host. Highly recommended.

If you don't want fancy this is the place. We had site 3 very easy to level and get into. It would have been great for solar if the weather had cooperated better, but that is what generators are for, right? Trails right out of the campground, trash and recycling on site. The hosts were very nice. We loved this place.

This campground sits directly on Route 16 and is incredibly loud at night, especially when staying at higher numbered sites (such as #23). After one night, we tried to switch to a site farther from the road but the camp host did not have the resources to help us with this. We made the decision to leave and move to an entirely new campground after one night. Recreation.gov was helpful in processing a refund for us, however it was still a very large inconvenience to have to move. Although this campground has a few pretty trails for hiking right off of it, I would definitely recommend choosing somewhere else.

Nice campground. Sites are mostly wooded and all have a fire ring and picnic table. I would’ve given it a higher rating but we had several items stolen from our campsite during the day while hiking. (Chairs, hammock, light.) Beware.
