About
Franconia Brook Campsites is a backcountry camping area located on the Eastside trail along the East Branch of the Pemigewasset River, approximately 3 miles from the Lincoln Woods trailhead in White Mountain National Forest. The site features roughly 20 designated tent sites, each marked with a numbered stake and equipped with a fire ring. This first-come, first-served camping area requires no fees or reservations. Two bear boxes are provided and must be used for all food storage; bear hangs are not permitted. The bear boxes can fill quickly during busy periods, so campers should be prepared. Two pit toilets are available on-site. Potable water is not available, but water can be treated or filtered from the nearby East Branch. The 3-mile hike in makes this a popular destination for backpackers seeking a backcountry experience with established amenities. The site serves as a convenient base for exploring the Pemigewasset Wilderness area. Campers must pack out all trash and leave no trace.
Directions
From Lincoln, NH, take Highway 112 (Kancamagus Highway) east to the Lincoln Woods trailhead parking area. Hike 3 miles in on the Lincoln Woods Trail and Eastside Trail to reach the campsites on the east side of the Pemigewasset River.
