About this campground

White Ledge Campground is conveniently located off State Route 16, 5 miles south of the town of Conway, New Hampshire. It is a relatively small facility and provides easy access to town amenities and activities as well as superb scenic driving, hiking, fishing and rock climbing. 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. Campsites are organized into two loops. The facility is well shaded, and a grassy play area is available. Accessible restrooms and a hand pump for drinking water are provided. There are no showers or dump station on-site. Noise from the road may be noticeable.

The campground is tucked away in a mixed white pine and hardwood forest in the southern part of White Mountain National Forest. The 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 forest.

Campers can access numerous hiking trails, rock climbing routes, scenic overlooks and wildlife viewing locations within a short drive. Local rivers and streams offer stocked or wild trout for anglers. Nearby Jigger Johnson Campground offers educational programs on Saturday nights. The White Mountains region hosts four alpine and five nordic ski areas, which provide year-round recreation opportunities such as skiing, hiking, mountain biking, outdoor concerts, interpretive trails, special events and regional and national skiing and snowboarding races.

What campers say

White Ledge Campground is a small, conveniently located site near Chocorua and North Conway, offering easy access to trails and nearby services. Sites are wooded and generally well spaced, with picnic tables, fire rings and a primitive, well-maintained feel. Vault toilets and water spigots are available but there are no showers; bring supplies as occasional toilet-paper shortages and limited amenities have been reported. Road noise from nearby Route 16 can be loud at some sites, so reserving sites farther back helps. Hosts are described as friendly and unobtrusive. Cell service is generally strong; watch for a rough entrance/pothole that can challenge rigs.
