Why Families Choose Saco River
Heart of the White Mountains
We’re located in the center of North Conway, just minutes from Story Land, the Kancamagus Highway, and Mount Washington — and within walking distance of downtown’s tax-free shopping and restaurants. Whether you’re here to explore the mountains or unwind at the campground, you’ll have the perfect home base for every kind of adventure.
Direct Saco River Access
With nearly 1,500 feet of river frontage, we’re your gateway to tubing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. Walk from your site to our private beach — no shuttle, no driving, no hassle.
We are pet friendly!
Your dog isn’t an afterthought here. We have two large dog parks for off-leash play, plus exclusive Grand FHU sites with private, shaded kennels — so you can enjoy the pool while your pup relaxes comfortably at your campsite.
Resort-Style Amenities, Mountain Setting
More than a campground — a full experience. Cool off in our heated pool with cabana rentals, grab a craft cocktail at our café and tiki bar, challenge the family to gem mining and wagon rides, then end the day with a campfire under the stars. With golf carts, tubing, kayaks, playgrounds, and nightly activities, there’s always something happening at Saco River.
6 Weekends of
Spooky Fun & Frights
