Twin Mountain / Mt. Washington KOA

Few camping experiences can compare to the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire. It’s a place removed from the usual bustling pace of New England, and except for peak tourist season, is relatively uncrowded. While bigger cities like Montpelier and Manchester are within a two-hour drive, here, you can disappear into the wilderness near White Mountain National Forest. This region is a place to experience nature in its most raw form: soaring granite peaks, crystal-clear rivers flowing between them, and lush green pine trees. Twin Mountain/Mount Washington KOA sits amidst all of this beauty and is one of the best places to go camping with an RV.

Twin Mountain/Mount Washington KOA sits just off Highway 3, near the town of Carroll, and about a 20-minute drive from Crawford Notch (the western starting point for hikes summiting Mount Washington). When staying at this RV campground, you’ll have access to full hookups for your RV rental, including 50-amp electrical service. Sites can accommodate 90-foot-long vehicles, and there are propane and firewood for sale to help with firing up the grill.

Camping at Twin Mountain/Mount Washington KOA is a rather luxurious affair as far as motorhome camping goes, with a great swimming pool for cooling off on hot days and a designated dog walking area where you can take your furry pals for some exercise. One of the best things about staying at the KOA, though, are the planned activities, where you can socialize with fellow travelers. Weekly pancake breakfasts are a staple at the campground, but if you’re bringing the kids along on this campervan rental adventure, there are also hayrides, gem-mining excursions, and train rides for the youngest ones.
