Checking into the campground, you will go to the lodge building. If you are lucky, Gordon will be working there. Gordon is very friendly and helpful. He directed us to a great pizza joint in town, told us about the park and surrounding areas, and answered all our questions. And we had many questions, since we were touring from California.... More

We stayed at site 50 which is next to the stream and close to the highway. The noise from the highway was very distracting the first night (we had not hiked yet), the trick to getting a good nights sleep is to hike all day so you can pass out at night and sleep through the noise! It is a... More

I am sad to say that this campground and even the 1 hour hike up to beautiful Lonesome Lake are permanently invaded by the constant sound of trucks going down 93 all day and night.

Hiked Lafayette Lincoln and Haystack which was literally across the road from the campground. Has a tunnel that runs under the road even. Our site was pretty close to the... More

Lafayette Campground is ideally located close to several trail heads in Franconia Notch State Park. It's a great base camp for hiking trips in the Whites. It's also right next to the bike path (NOTE: the bike path is very hilly and not for casual bikers or people who are not in good shape. I saw lots of people pushing... More
