SUGARLOAF 2 CAMPGROUND

The facility sits near the banks of the cold, cascading Ammonoosuc River. Thick hardwood and pine forests fill the landscape. White Mountain National Forest is home to many species of northern wildlife, including moose, white-tailed deer and black bear. Almost 200 species of birds, including the rare Bicknell's Thrush, live within its boundaries.

Recreation: Hiking is one of the biggest draws to the campground. Trails begin around the facility itself, as well as in the surrounding area. The 6,288-ft. Mount Washington, New England's highest peak, is just minutes away. Access to the wild Ammonoosuc River is easy for campers wishing to fish for brook trout or wade in its cool waters during warmer summer months. The campground is in close proximity to Bretton Woods ski resort and the upscale Mount Washington Hotel. Learn more about recreation in the national forest.

Nearby: The small town of Twin Mountain has a general store, gas station and restaurants. Numerous hiking trails, mountain biking trails and rock climbing routes are within a short drive of the campground, including the well-known Appalachian Trail. The Cog Railway provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience for visitors to ascend the western side of Mount Washington by train.
