The Saco River begins high in the White Mountains and flows southeast for 130 miles before reaching the Atlantic Ocean in Saco, Maine. For thousands of years, it has carved a path through some of the most beautiful landscapes in New England — past mountain peaks, through quiet valleys, and along the doorstep of North Conway.
At Saco River Family Camping, the river isn’t a backdrop. It’s the reason we’re here. Our property includes nearly ∼1,500 feet of direct Saco River frontage — one of the longest private stretches in the North Conway area. Walk from your campsite to our private beach, launch a kayak, cast a fishing line, or just sit on the bank and watch the current. That means every guest, no matter where they’re staying on our property, has easy access to the water.
The Saco is known for its clear water, gentle current, and sandy stretches — perfect for tubing, swimming, and wading with kids. It’s one of the reasons families have been drawn to this stretch of river for generations, and it’s why we believe our location is hard to beat.

Our seasonal operating dates
Saco River Family Camping has been part of the North Conway camping community for decades. Over the years, what began as a modest riverside campground has evolved into one of the most well-rounded camping properties in the White Mountains.
Recent investments have transformed the guest experience. We added Covered Wagon glamping rentals — custom-built PlainsCraft wagons with King beds, full bathrooms, and air conditioning — so families who’ve never camped before can experience the magic without the learning curve. We built custom Hobbit Homes for the kids, because every child deserves their own little house. We expanded our pet-friendly options with two large dog parks and private on-site kennels at our Grand FHU sites. And we opened the Saco Café & Bar — the first on-site dining option at any campground in the North Conway area.
We maintain three full-service bathhouse facilities with hot showers, open around the clock. We are known for having the cleanest bathhouses in the Valley — and we take that seriously. Every facility is checked and maintained throughout the day.
Our campsites are designed with room between neighbors. Big-rig friendly sites accommodate RVs up to 100 feet. Riverfront sites put you steps from the water. Tent sites along the Saco offer peace and privacy. You will not feel like you’re parked in a lot.
Two large dog parks. Private on-site kennels at our Grand FHU sites. Pet-friendly glamping huts. A $15 per night pet fee. We don’t just allow pets — we welcome them.
Heated pool. River tubing. Gem mining. A café and bar. Nightly activities during peak season. Game courts. Nature trails. Whether your family wants to stay on the property all week or use us as a basecamp for White Mountains exploration, we have you covered.
