What campers say

Waterville Campground is a rustic, low‑key spot in Waterville Valley with spacious, wooded sites along the river and convenient access to hiking, the resort area, and town amenities. Sites feel private and peaceful for those seeking a natural setting, but the campground has no hookups, limited running water and only vault toilets; there are no on‑site showers, so plan to use nearby facilities. Many visitors praise its family‑friendly vibe and scenic setting, though quiet‑time enforcement can be inconsistent and larger groups have sometimes been noisy. Good choice if you prioritize scenery over full services.

📖 About This Campground

Waterville Campground is a popular home base for hikers who want to explore the southern White Mountains, including the scenic Pemigewasset Wilderness. The tremendous choice of local attractions and the proximity to outdoor recreation opportunities - fishing, swimming, hiking and whitewater paddling to name a few - bring campers back to Waterville again and again. 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.
A mix of standard and tent-only sites are well-spaced around a single loop. The facility provides the basic amenities of restrooms and drinking water. Many other amenities such as showers and laundry facilities are within a short drive.
The campground sits in a thick forest of northern hardwood trees, adjacent to the Mad River and surrounded by mountains. The 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 in the White Mountains.
