Lake Francis State Park

About

Lake Francis State Park occupies a prime location on the shores of 2,000-acre Lake Francis in Pittsburg, deep in New Hampshire's Great North Woods near the Connecticut Lakes. This remote region draws anglers targeting trout and salmon, hunters pursuing game in the surrounding forests, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking solitude away from southern New Hampshire's busier parks. The campground provides approximately 45 sites across several configurations: standard sites, tent-only sites, tent platforms, lean-tos, and one cabin. Nine sites offer water and electric hookups (20-amp). A standout feature is the dedicated ATV camping area with 9 sites providing direct access to the extensive OHRV trail network spanning over 1,000 miles throughout Coos County. Facilities include flush toilets, hot showers, potable water, a dump station, and a camp store. Recreational opportunities extend beyond camping with a boat ramp, boat rentals, swimming, hiking trails, and a playground. The park transitions to snowmobile and snowshoe access in winter, though the campground itself operates seasonally from mid-May through late October.
