Our Take
What makes WHITE LEDGE CAMPGROUND special
White Ledge Campground is tucked just off State Route 16, about five miles south of Conway, New Hampshire, making it one of the most conveniently located campgrounds in the White Mountain National Forest. With 25 sites set beneath a canopy of hardwoods and conifers, it strikes a fine balance between accessibility and the feeling of being deep in the woods. The nearby Swift River and its swimming holes are a major draw on warm summer days, and the ledges that give the campground its name add a touch of rugged New England character to the setting. Conway and North Conway are minutes away, offering everything from outlet shopping and local restaurants to the Conway Scenic Railroad and the famous Kancamagus Highway — one of the most celebrated fall foliage drives in the country. Hikers can access trailheads for Mount Chocorua, Cathedral Ledge, and dozens of other peaks without a long drive. In winter, ski resorts like Cranmore and Attitash are nearby, though the campground itself operates seasonally. The campground is open from mid-May through mid-October, with peak demand during summer weekends and the fall foliage season in late September and early October. Reservations are strongly recommended during these busy periods. Sites accommodate tents and smaller RVs, and the atmosphere remains relaxed and family-friendly throughout the season.
