About
Jigger Johnson Campground sits along the Kancamagus Scenic Byway in the heart of the White Mountain National Forest. The campground offers 75 sites with dirt pads accessed via paved campground roads. Sites 1-9 are designated tent-only, while remaining sites accommodate RVs and trailers. Named after a legendary north country woods boss during the region's colorful logging era, this established campground provides a classic National Forest camping experience. The campground stands out as the only facility on the Kancamagus Highway with coin-operated showers, which are handicapped accessible. Flush toilets, potable water spigots, and dumpsters with animal deterrents are located throughout. The Swift River flows directly behind the campground offering fishing and water recreation opportunities. A short trail connects the campground to the Russell-Colbath Historic Site, providing easy access to historical interpretation. The location along the scenic byway places campers within reach of numerous hiking trailheads, waterfalls, and mountain vistas that make the Kancamagus one of New England's premier destinations.
