My wife and I stayed at this campground for our first trip to the White Mountains. We were very…read moreimpressed with the different options for each campsite, we chose one closer to the river. It is very easy to get to and is right off the Kancamagus Highway. Full disclaimer: our stay was late June, right before Memorial Day so it we had the place to ourselves. We chose campsite #10, it had plenty of space for our vehicle and made it very easy for load in/out. I believe it was $22/night (bring cash or check for the honor system envelope drop by the entrance of the campground).The campsite is close to the river but not close enough to hear it. However, there was a little trail from our campsite to the water and it took only a minute to get there. If you want a campsite really close to the Swift River, you'll need to get a campsite #21-24. Our campsite had a picnic table and a large fire ring with a grill grate that will lower over the fire. There were even some large tree stumps left there for seating. We didn't have anyone camping around us, but I'd imagine each campsite has a good amount of privacy and space during peak season. Id recommend buying firewood before you arrive at Passaconoway. The year-round campground host sells firewood (which is very convenient) but you can get double your money's worth if you buy them from little wood stands on the side of the road. If you're passing through Lincoln (via 93 exit on Kancamagus) you will see some self serve wood piles by some gas stations.

Passaconnaway is a great (relatively) primitive campground right off the Kanc. It's got drinking…read morewater and outhouses, but no showers, sinks, or RV hookups. It has a couple of nicely secluded spots and tends to stay pretty quiet (in part because of the lack of amenities). There's a series of trailheads from the lot just across the street that acess some beautiful hikes, and since it's close to the center of the Kanc you're pretty close to whatever else you want to go see in that neck of the woods. Bring cash because it's an "iron ranger" system (currently $20 per night for one car) and the firewood there is $6 a bundle.

We travel there often and always stay at covered bridge, and always have a fantastic time. The first host you come across is very nice, even in the uncertain times of covid 19. Our site is always fantastic, with a grilling fire pit and picnic table. The campground has many bathrooms and dumpsters throughout, so you don't have to travel far for either. Heads up that some sites have a stair case you have to haul your stuff up, but it's totally worth it. Those are some of the best sites along outer loop of the campground. A short walk will bring you to the swift river, an awesome place to get sun and hang out. Trails and waterfalls line the highway, take your pick, it's all amazing!!! We just love it here so so much. Can't say enough great things about it.

My husband is an outdoors enthusiast and has tons experience camping so I felt comfortable knowing that if this experience was less than glamping (i.e. a place to plug in my hairdryer - btw bring a hair dryer and conditioner) I would be fine. Well, it more than met my requirements for glamping. We stayed in Trappeur Tent #45 right by the brook. There's enough distance from adjacent tents that you do have privacy without feeling totally secluded in the woods. Each tent has electricity, running (potable) water, flushing toilet, a shower and basic toiletries. There's no cooking in the tent so be prepared to do all your meals on the outdoor grill. The kitchen area is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, bowls, glasses, utensils, cutting board, colander, cutting board and basic cleaning products. There's a small refrigerator but no freezer. We had a cooler that was stocked with food and ice that we stored in the bear proof outdoor storage unit. There's a fire pit that we used every day. NH has a strict law about bringing wood in from out of state, so you do need to purchase wood from them. All the details about this are on the website when you register. You have an option to bring your own linens, but we opted to have them provide it by registering for the Zen rate (again all is explained on the website). Our unit had one queen size bed and two bunk beds. There was a portable floor fan in the unit for cooling. We didn't need it because it got to the lower 50's at night and upper 70's during the day. The tent does have a wood stove for heating that we did not use. You do have to bring your own towels for the pool. On site there's a basketball court, playground, ping pong table, corn hole, foosball table, bocce ball court, movie night, other activities like yoga, kayaks and tubes for rent, and a variety of board games. You cannot drive your car to your unit but there are plenty of carts in your assigned parking area to haul your stuff from your car to your unit. You do have to dispose of your trash at their localized trash site which is a bit of a walk from your unit. OK it was a bit of an effort but I got my steps in for the day with that task alone. The food truck is great. We enjoyed crepes and coffee each morning. There are also muffins and smoothies. I am told that the pizza is quite good. The food truck opens at 7:30 AM. Check when you register what their hours of operation are since they run two shifts - morning and afternoon/evening. With all those details I was most impressed and grateful for the beauty of the site as well as the genuine friendliness of the staff. You are in the middle of the woods in the White Mountains "roughing" it with all the amenities. I was truly at peace and had some of the best sleep in months. We're heading back in September to do some hiking. I'm sure I'll rattle on about that experience in a few months. Just go! Have fun!

We spend time in the water. It was not deep anywhere we were so not really swimming just cooling off or sun tanning on the rocks.

However, if you are camping near the restrooms the campers are packed in like sardines. The campground is on the Saco River and attracts many people for the river activities. The campground staff could not get the noise under control. Office staff did not seem to care that people who paid $93 to stay in a tent had to leave the campground early because the staff couldn't enforce the rules. My advice: 1- reduce the number of campsites around the restrooms. 2- give 1 warning and then call police to evict those who don't follow the rules. 3- put more dumpsters around the campground. 4- Eliminate rude office staff. Send employees to training on how to deal with the public without being rude. 5- put walk- off rubber mats in the shower rooms so that people don't slip on wet floors.

It's so great, this is my gold standard for comparing other campgrounds. *Disclaimer this review is for tent camping only* 1.) The sites are spaced enough apart (with the exception of a few joint sites) that you don't feel like you're on top of your neighbor. Some of the sites now have new shelters built on site, which was a great surprise when we came in July and it was downpouring! 2.) Super clean and updated bathroom facilities. Showers are 25 cents for 3 minutes, they also have laundry room. 3.) Tons of hiking opportunities nearby and lots to do in the area. 15-20 minutes to Mt. Washington and North Conway. 4.) Staff is super nice and helpful! Since it's out in the middle of the woods, there is no cell phone service. Also, last few years it hasn't been a problem but a few years in a row about 5 years ago we had a black bear come through our site a few times. Since it was a problem for a few months the bear was relocated. Just a heads up to put all food and trash away as you should at any campsite!
