About
Mount Sunapee State Park campground provides a backcountry-style camping experience in New Hampshire's Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Region. The 11 sites are split between five lean-to shelters and six tent platforms, all nestled in a wooded setting on the mountain. This is a primitive campground with pit toilets and water spigots but no electricity or hookups. Most sites require a short walk from parking, making it unsuitable for RVs or trailers. The campground sits about two miles from the 4,085-acre Lake Sunapee, where the state beach offers swimming, boating, and picnicking. Hiking trails extend from the campground area, and the adjacent Mount Sunapee Resort provides winter skiing. Check-in occurs at Mount Sunapee State Beach before 6 pm; late arrivals may set up and check in the following morning. Cell service is limited to nonexistent depending on provider. Firewood must be purchased on-site due to restrictions on outside firewood to prevent exotic insects and tree diseases. Pets are permitted at the campground but prohibited at the beach.
Directions
From the traffic circle on Route 103, exit toward Mount Sunapee Resort. Take the first left (marked with a small blue tent sign) into a large gravel parking lot. Turn right and follow Park Road uphill for one mile; the campground will be on your left.
