Pemi Cabins

Along the Pemigewasset River in Lincoln, New Hampshire—at the foot of the White Mountains in Grafton County where the Franconia Notch corridor concentrates the most dramatic granite mountain scenery in New England and where the Pemi's river sound, the mountain air, and the proximity of 800,000 acres of White Mountain National Forest create the outdoor setting that Lincoln's lodging community has built its identity around—Pemi Cabins offers 18 one and two-bedroom cabins with fireplaces, screened porches overlooking the river, kitchens, high-speed WiFi, and flat-screen TVs, alongside an outdoor pizza oven, fire pits, picnic tables, park grills, a shuffleboard court, complimentary morning coffee, and direct snowmobile trail access with trailer parking—pet-friendly and open year-round in a riverside cabin property where 14 of the 18 units sit directly on the Pemigewasset and the White Mountain National Forest's trail network begins within walking distance. The river is under the porch. The mountain is the view. The 18 cabins—14 of which sit directly on the Pemigewasset River—provide the one and two-bedroom configurations with fireplaces for the cool White Mountain nights, screened porches where the river sound creates the sleep environment that Lincoln's lodging competition charges extra for, full kitchens with the equipment for self-catering the week's meals, and the WiFi and flat-screen TVs that the modern cabin guest requires regardless of how completely the mountain setting absorbs the daytime hours. The outdoor pizza oven, communal fire pits, picnic tables, park grills, and shuffleboard court create the shared outdoor social infrastructure that a cabin community needs when the individual units' porches aren't enough space for the evening gathering. Complimentary morning coffee, the pet-friendly policy, and the snowmobile trail access with trailer parking extend the practical hospitality across seasons and travel styles. Lincoln sits in Grafton County at the foot of Franconia Notch on I-93, at the southern gateway to the White Mountain National Forest's most visited corridor. The Pemigewasset Wilderness—the 45,000-acre roadless area south of Franconia Notch that the Wilderness Act protects in one of the largest wilderness designations in the Northeast—creates the backcountry hiking and fishing environment that the Pemi Cabins' location at the wilderness edge makes immediately accessible from the riverside property. The Pemigewasset River's east and west branch confluence in Lincoln creates the main stem that flows south through the Pemi Valley toward Plymouth and the Lakes Region. Franconia Notch State Park, 5 miles north on I-93, concentrates the White Mountains' most iconic attractions in the 8-mile granite notch—the Flume Gorge's 800-foot natural chasm with boardwalks and covered bridges along the Flume Brook, the aerial tramway to Cannon Mountain's 4,080-foot summit, Echo Lake's swimming beach and mountain reflections, and the Basin's pothole-carved granite bowl at the base of a waterfall. Loon Mountain Resort, 3 miles east of Lincoln on the Kancamagus Highway, operates ski lifts from December through March and mountain biking and the gondola scenic ride from May through October. The 34-mile Kancamagus Highway east through the national forest to Conway delivers the most scenic fall foliage drive in New Hampshire during October's peak color weeks. Pemi Cabins operates year-round in the White Mountains' four-season climate—the winter snowmobile season from January through March on the groomed trail network accessed directly from the property, the spring and summer hiking and river season from May through September, and the October foliage peak that makes the Franconia Notch corridor one of New England's most photographed autumn landscapes. Reserve your riverside cabin at Pemi Cabins and let the Pemigewasset River's sound, the Franconia Notch backdrop, and Lincoln's White Mountain National Forest position deliver the four-season New Hampshire mountain experience that the screened porch and the fireplace were built to frame.

Ausable Chasm Campground

83 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 35 Tent Sites

Ausable Chasm Campground in Keeseville, New York, offers 83 RV sites, two cabins, and 35 tent sites directly across from the Ausable Chasm entrance, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet behind a gated entrance. Full-hookup categories at both amperages join a water-and-electric tier, with an outdoor pool, disc golf course, and recreation center. Eighty-three sites span 30-amp full hookup, 50-amp full hookup, and water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Two cabins and 35 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, recreation center, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, mountain biking, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Boating, swimming, picnicking, and productive birding round it out. The chasm is the reason to stay here and it justifies the trip. The AuSable River has carved 500-million-year-old Potsdam sandstone into one of the most dramatic geological features in the Northeast, and the entrance is directly across the road. Lake Champlain, Plattsburgh, and the Adirondack High Peaks are all close. Summer is the season on the Adirondack Park's northeastern edge, with foliage drawing a strong September. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Twin Ells RV Park

7 RV Sites

Twin Ells RV Park in West Chazy, New York, offers seven full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp service, sized for rigs to 59 feet, with an outdoor pool, a lake, a recreation center, and a ball field on site. Established in 1970, it has run as a family campground in the Champlain Valley for more than 50 years. Seven back-in sites carry full hookups with 30 and 50-amp service, taking rigs to 59 feet, with picnic tables. Laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, and WiFi reaches the property. With seven sites, this is a small operation — book early rather than counting on availability. On-site amenities are generous for the scale. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, a lake sits on the property, and a recreation center, ball field, playground, and ping pong fill out the calendar. Swimming runs from the property. Pets are welcome. The park takes its name from the twin wives of founders Edward Labossiere and Clarence Lewis — Hattie and Maddie — and three generations of Champlain Valley families have returned to it since. West Chazy sits in Clinton County on US-9 and NY-9B, 10 miles north of Plattsburgh. Lake Champlain fishing, Adirondack foothills hiking, and the Plattsburgh area's historical attractions are all within day-trip range, and the Canadian border is close enough that cross-border traffic is a steady part of the market. The park runs the northern New York season. Summer is peak, and with only seven sites, weekends book out well ahead. Cancellations and date changes are accepted up to seven days before arrival for a full refund less the booking fee.

Sixty-seven sites run in standard and deluxe full-hookup categories carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. One policy to check before booking: RVs are generally required to be within a 10-year model range, with older units needing prior approval. Thirteen tent sites round out the accommodations. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A beach on the river anchors the recreation, with swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking from the water. A recreation center, sports courts, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a playground, dog park, and picnicking areas fill the 130 wooded acres, with wine tasting nearby. Pets are welcome. The Ausable is one of the Northeast's most celebrated wild trout rivers, and the mature hardwood setting delivers the deep-forest quiet that defines the Adirondacks at their best. Keeseville sits in Clinton County just minutes from the Adirondack Northway and the Lake Champlain shoreline, which serves both I-87 travelers and guests who planned specifically for the river and the mountains. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in the Adirondacks. Reserve well ahead, and confirm RV age approval if your unit is over ten years old.

A recreation center, craft room, playground, ping pong, and billiards fill the indoor and grounds side, with the river carrying tubing, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. Hiking runs in every direction, and live music plays through the season. Pets are welcome. Grafton County's western Pemigewasset valley is the gateway to the White Mountains — Franconia Notch, the Kancamagus Highway, and Rumney's world-class rock climbing crags are all close. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the White Mountains. Reserve well ahead for July through mid-October.

A general store, laundry, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side.

Winni Lakefront Cabin

1 Cabin

Winni Lakefront Cabin in Holderness, NH, offers a secluded three-bedroom lakefront cabin with a private dock slip. This is a single cabin rental rather than a serviced RV park — the published record shows no RV sites or hookups, so contact the property directly if you're traveling in a rig. Propane fills and exchange, a pavilion, a playground, and a beach serve the property. The setting is the entire proposition: a protected cove on Lake Winnipesaukee with your own dock slip, which on this lake is a genuinely scarce thing. Boating and swimming are steps from the door. Holderness sits in Grafton County at the northern end of the Lakes Region, between Winnipesaukee and Squam Lake — the latter familiar to anyone who has seen On Golden Pond. The White Mountains rise just north. Rates for the cabin are on the booking page. One cabin on Winnipesaukee with a dock slip — book as far ahead as they will take it, and call about RV accommodation before you tow.

Blue Haven Campground and Resort

16 RV Sites

Sites come in two nightly-stay categories: 30/20-amp full-hookup back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric, and 30/20-amp water-and-electric back-ins. Each has a fire pit. Note the electrical: this is a 20 and 30-amp property, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, and WiFi cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. Guests may bring their own boat or kayak and their own golf cart. An outdoor pool, a clubhouse, a recreation center, mini-golf, a pavilion, a ball field, sport courts, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with a boat launch to Lake Champlain for boating, paddling, and fishing, plus walking trails through the forest.
