The state's signature
The Kancamagus leg of the foliage chase
Thirty-four miles of the White Mountains with no gas stations, no billboards, and — in the first half of October — a full-spectrum hardwood burn. The chase lane's most famous single stretch of road.
Seasonal RV-timing verdict
When New Hampshire is at its best
New Hampshire's prime RV window is May to October. White Mountains are accessible and fall foliage is world-class; winters are long, cold, and snowy. Shoulder-season play: Late April and early November have lower rates but many mountain campgrounds close and frost or snow can occur.
Know before you go
Black flies peak in June. Fall foliage weekends bring heavy traffic and full campgrounds.
