Ladd Pond Cabins And Campground

6 RV Sites, 4 Cabins

Ladd Pond Cabins and Campground in Stewartstown, New Hampshire, offers six full-hookup RV sites and four cabins in the far northern Connecticut Lakes region, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Open all year with on-site fishing guides, this is a genuine four-season wilderness base in one of the Northeast's most remote environments. Six back-in sites run in water-and-electric and full-hookup configurations carrying 30-amp service, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Four cabins provide enclosed lodging. A general store and firewood handle the practical side. The operators note that in the event of a pandemic or government shutdown preventing your stay, you receive a voucher good for two years or as local law requires. Pets are welcome. Fishing guide services are the distinguishing amenity, and they matter here — this is remote water where local knowledge separates a productive day from a blank one. A pond on the property supports fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boats, boating, and water sports, with hiking, biking, and birding from camp and off-roading nearby. Stewartstown sits in Coös County where New Hampshire narrows to a corridor between Vermont and Maine, and the Connecticut River's headwaters flow south from the Canadian border through boreal forest and cold-water ponds. The remote sporting camp tradition has drawn anglers, hunters, and wilderness campers here since the nineteenth century, and little about that has changed. Year-round operation makes hunting season, ice fishing, and summer angling all viable. With six RV sites, reserve well ahead in any season.

Lone Mountain River Front Campground

35 RV Sites

Lone Mountain Riverfront Campground in Andover, Maine, offers 35 full-hookup RV sites on the river in the Oxford Hills, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 42 feet. Mountain View pull-through and Overlook back-in and pull-through categories join amperage-specific back-in tiers, with a beach, general store, and sports courts. Thirty-five sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 50-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, Mountain View pull-thru, Overlook back-in, and Overlook pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Naming categories Mountain View and Overlook tells you exactly what you are booking. Note the 42-foot cap before bringing a larger rig. A general store, dump station, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A river beach anchors the recreation, with swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boats on the water. Sports courts, horseshoes, hiking, biking, and a pavilion fill the rest, with offroading nearby. Pets are welcome. The facilities are brand new throughout, which is a genuine consideration in a region where many campgrounds date to the 1970s. Andover is a small mountain valley community 30 minutes from Bethel, at the edge of an ATV and trail network that runs across some of the most remote country in the eastern United States. The Appalachian Trail crosses nearby, Grafton Notch State Park is close, and Sunday River's skiing is a short drive. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in western Maine. Reserve well ahead.

20 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 17 Tent Sites

Gold panning is the signature activity here — the Swift River runs past the campground at Coos Canyon, one of the best-known panning spots in New England, and guests work the gravel bars all season. A beach, walking trails, and river access fill out the rest, with swimming, fishing, paddling, hiking, biking, and birding, and off-road riding nearby. Byron sits in Oxford County in Maine's Western Lakes and Mountains region, about two hours inland from the coast. Rates for sites, the cabin, tent spots, and trailer rentals are on the booking page.

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.

Onion River Campground

26 RV Sites, 24 Tent Sites

Onion River Campground in Plainfield, Vermont, offers 26 RV sites and 24 tent sites along the Winooski River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 25 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories at both amperages join walking trails, a community fire pit, and forested grounds. Twenty-six back-in sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 50-amp, and back-in 50-amp water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 25 feet. Two things to plan around carefully: the 25-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern RVs, so this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers rather than coaches, and the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Twenty-four tent sites make this substantially a tent property. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Walking trails, a community fire pit, and the surrounding forest fill the grounds, with swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, biking, and picnicking on and around the river. The dark central Vermont sky makes for excellent stargazing. Pets are welcome. Vermonters called the Winooski the Onion River for the wild leeks along its banks before European settlement, and the name stuck to the campground. Plainfield sits 10 to 15 minutes from Montpelier — the smallest state capital in the country and the only one without a McDonald's — with Goddard College, the Groton State Forest, and the Northeast Kingdom all close. Summer and foliage drive demand. Reserve ahead, and check your rig against the 25-foot limit.

Beach Camping Area

96 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers, 1 House

Beach Camping Area in Conway, New Hampshire, offers 98 RV sites, five cabin and house units, and seven tent sites along the Saco River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet behind a gated entrance.

Naming categories for where they sit rather than numbering tiers makes the property easy to picture, and Rivers Edge and Beach Side are the ones to request. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer. Five cabins and houses, seven tent sites, and trailer rentals round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. A sandy beach on the Saco anchors the recreation, with swimming and river excursions arranged directly through the campground. Walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and community fire pit fill the rest, with live music and planned activities through the season. One mile south of North Conway village, the property sits in one of the White Mountain region's most beloved summer communities. Summer and foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

The campground sits on Route 16 at the southern gateway to the White Mountain National Forest, where the Saco River winds through the valley. North Conway's outlet retail and ski resort access are close, and Mount Washington's 6,288-foot summit — the highest point in the Northeast, and site of a 231 mph wind recorded in 1934 — rises at the valley's northern end. Summer and foliage season drive demand. Reserve well ahead.
