Dry River Campground

Nice camping spot in the Notch! Here are some tips: - Spots are nice and wide with reasonable distance, but loud voices will carry clearly. - No electric power even in the RV spots - Potable water easily accessible at many sites - Large waste containers at the entrance of the site only - Wood is $6 at the front, cash only - You will hear a good amount of road noise for spots on the West side of the road from the highway. Stay as East as possible. - Do not get the spots near the entrance, the traffic is substantial and privacy minimal - Bathrooms and showers are functional, but unclean. Sandals are strongly recommended. Bring quarters for the shower.

I discovered this campground by accident. Google Maps said it was the location of Stair Mountain 🏔️. It wasn't. The campground has individual lots that can accommodate a vehicle. You have to pay a fee at the building at the entrance. It is run by the park officials at the Wiley House just down the road. What caught my attention was the building that had showers 🚿 and a laundry 🧺. There was a sink to wash dishes outside. A dumpster was near the entrance for customers trash 🗑️. The building at the entrance was unmanned. It had information ℹ️ available about places to visit. There is a small park next to the entrance with a few chairs.

Very quiet campground. Firewood available on site. Unmanned “office” although park staff are in and out through the day. Traffic noise is heard for sites along the road but for me it really wasn’t that bad. Coin operated showers were excellent after a long day of hiking. Bathrooms were clean. Would definitely stay here again. Quiet campground.

We enjoyed our stay at the campground. Hiking trails were available within the campground.

First time staying here, and had a great time! Sites are spacious and you have a picnic table and fire pit. Some sites have platforms with a shelter. Bathrooms were clean and were flush toilets. There was laundry and showers. Although for some reason they were not open the first two nights we stayed. We stayed at site 28, and because it's right on the 302, it was a bit noisy with cars, trucks and motorcycles on the highway, which wasn't terribly annoying until you're sleeping. There are other sites available that are farther from the road though, that are likely a bit more quiet. There was adequate distance and privacy between sites, when we stayed not all of them were available to be reserved (I think due to COVID). There is a dish washing station next to the bathrooms and water spigots v
