Wildwood

Show on map WMNF (603) 536-6100 whitemountaincampgrounds@goexplorus.com

Overview

There are 26 non-reservable wooded sites with gravel pads, fire rings, and picnic tables. A self-service pay system collects the fees on a first come, first serve basis.

TIPS:

* Allow no more than 8 people and 2 vehicles per site and keep all equipment (including tents, tables and motor vehicles) on the graveled area. This will minimize compaction, allow low vegetation to grow, and enhance privacy between sites.

* Build all fires in the ring provided. “Only YOU can prevent forest fires,” says Smoky Bear. This will eliminate unsightly charcoal spots that soil camping equipment and clothing.

* Observe quiet hours between 10 PM and 7 AM. Turn off audio devices during these times and play them at a reasonable volume at all other times. See the bulletin board for the rules about operating generators.

* Gather only dead and down firewood.

Recreation

Nice well kept sites. Clean bathrooms. All was good except for the host yelling at us before quiet hours started. She did not stop a guy from using his generator early in the morning though.

I love this campground. And the hostess Dayna is amazing. The restrooms are super clean all the time. I camp a lot and this white mountain campground has the cleanest ones ..She always introduces herself and let's you know she's there for all your needs. Though she recognized me from memorial day :) ..She's very kind. Was very helpful memorial day weekend when we needed another charger for a cpap machine. And Columbus day she was always very kind and helpful always around and if she was leaving the camp she let you know. And willing to answer any questions . She will also help with anything if you need. Will return again next year and hope to see her again. Sincerely, Kristy

Nice quiet end to a good Summer. Dana, our Host, had the site and bathrooms clean and the firewood pile stocked, as usual. With the foliage season at peak, the leaf peepers were out in force which meant the Kancamagus Highway was bumper to bumper tourist, so we spent a lot of time further north up I-93 in Twin Mountain and Jefferson where the colors are the same and the traffic much less congested. Many thanks to Dana, our host, the campground operator--Outdoor Recreation Hospitality--, and the White Mountain National Forest Service. See you all in the Spring.

The campsite was lovely. The spots are plenty big and bathrooms are clean enough. The only thing that surprised us is if you don’t leave anything or tell the camp host that you’ve checked in, they will rent out your campsite for the second day. As we car camp, we never leave anything in the campsite itself after the first night. Be very careful if you decide to do the same! We were lucky that we could take the last spot that they didn’t give away.

The usual peace and quiet (we're frequent visitors). Dana, the Host, had the place neat, tidy, and clean.(as usual). There was plenty of firewood available for the chilly nights (as usual). And the trout weren't taking my flies at Beaver Pond down the road from the campground (as usual). Was a comfortable three day stay.
