Swan's Falls Campground and Canoe Access

It's expensive, but other than that it's an outstanding state park campground! They charge $20 per person per night, instead of charging per site like most campgrounds. However, it has a beautiful location with a sandy beach on the Saco River and the sites are all plenty large and well spaced apart from each other. There are 5 clean outhouses for the 20 site campground and there is potable water available in 2 different locations. The camp store has all of the expected basic products and firewood is $5 per bundle. We stayed here the Friday night before the Fryeburg Fair, and we were surprised to be one of only three groups in the entire campground! It was a very pleasant place to stay, and I feel that it justified the somewhat higher price for a shore stay.

Swans falls campground use to be one of the best campgrounds.|| but the last couple years it has gone down hill. first off the staff use to be really friendly and helpful. the last time i made reservation the grumpy person on the other end of the phone call seemed like i just ruined her whole day and when we showed up it was the same grumpy attitude that was displayed on the phone.||The campsites were still littered with trash from the last campers and had about four or five days worth of ash and beer cans. ||The bathrooms looked like they hadn't been clean in a couple days or pumped out for at least a week or so. ||when the campground Stewart did come around it was on a noisy golf cart something i had never experience their before.||I know they have been trying to crack down on all the pe

Great place from which to start a Saco trip. There is also a little beach on the river which makes for a great time. The sites vary but there are large and private ones.

Great tubing access point, $20 parking. Rivers normally not too busy but some weekends can get crowded

We just paid to park and Tube Down River from Swan Falls Dam to Canal Bridge. It’s a relaxing Trip with lots of Sandbars to Picnic on. We brought Our own $4 Tubes from Walmart and Mardens. Beautiful Views. Great way to get cool on a hot Summer Day. You can Canoe or Kayak from there too.
