Discover Cardigan Mountain State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips
The Appalachian Mountain Club purchased a little over 500 acres of land covering Mount Cardigan's eastern face in New Hampshire in 1934. The intent was to create a ski resort or destination to fund their other activities under the guidance of two renowned ski-trail designers Duke Dmitri von Leuchtenberg and Charles Proctor. The Civilian Conservation Corps, which was established by President Roosevelt’s New Deal program, blazed several miles of trails that would be used for both hiking and cross-country skiing (also known as Nordic skiing). Although this notion of making Mount Cardigan a premier ski destination never came to fruition, many outdoor adventurers enjoy exploring the woods of Cardigan Mountain State Park.

Getting Outdoors
Encompassing over 5,600 acres, the hiking trails meander and weave through the woods of Cardigan Mountain State Park. Tall northern hardwood trees mixed with sugar maple, American beech, and yellow birch trees tower overhead. Underfoot, the trails are cushioned by decades of leaves turned into mulch. Hewn logs stacked into stairs abet ascents toward the towering Mount Cardigan, which is topped by great granite boulders. Hikers who successfully summit Mount Cardigan are rewarded with sweeping views of Mount Monadnock, White Mountains, and to the west, Camel’s Hump in Vermont, and to the east, Pleasant Mountain in Maine. Other trails descend deep into the valley, crossing babbling brooks and rivers via log bridges. Altogether, there are nearly 50 miles of trails.
Camping at Cardigan Mountain State Park
Skip the long drive from a dinky motel and rent a camper. Wake up surrounded by nature and enjoy the sight of celestial bodies in the crisp, clear night sky. While there is no RV camping at Cardigan Mountain State Park, there are several options in the area. Near Canaan, NH is Crescent Campground at which campers can choose from full or partial hookups at their lakefront sites. Crescent Campground also hosts several family-friendly activities throughout the summer.
Exploring the Area
New Hampshire teems with history and charm, and the small mountain towns are no exception. There are several historic covered bridges in the area, including the picturesque Squam River Covered Bridge in Ashland. What makes it unique is it was constructed fairly recently: in 1990. The area residents wanted to honor their state’s heritage and voted to construct a bridge using time-honored architecture.

We had an excellent experience renting this camper van! The owners, Evan and Mary, were incredibly helpful, easy to communicate with, and a pleasure to rent from. The van itself was very clean and in great condition. While compact, it had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. We had a lot of fun and would definitely rent from them again!

I was a little hesitant with the layout of this RV. We are hooked we love this style with the two beds and rear bathroom. It makes the RV seem much roomier. This RV drives easy. Evan was the best and explained everything and was always available. Great RV Great owner.
