Seasonal closures apply — confirm it is open on your dates.
The dump station most rigs use is Saco River Camping Area ($10); propane refill at U-Haul of North Conway (2030 White Mountain Hwy, North Conway, NH 03860). The local-calendar tripwire is White Mountain leaf-peeper season (late September through mid-October) — kancamagus traffic stacks 2-3 hr; all in-region camping at capacity.
Best stays land in Mid-June through early September and late September through mid-October; the season to avoid is Mud season (April through mid-May). The mistake the local visitor bureau warns about is driving mount washington auto road in a Class A — 8% sustained grade, 12 ft road width, sharp turns; rigs over 24 ft prohibited.
