Scars in the polished granite streambed tell the story of saw mills from the 19th century. Not far from the foundation of one of the more established farmsteads of the era, this campsite is tucked away from the road down by the rushing Bull Branch of the Sunday River. Whether you bake on the rocks after dipping, or toss a fly in a quiet pool, the river will soothe your soul. Explore endless mountains streams, trails to the Appalachian Trail, and remote dirt roads in the heart of the Mahoosucs from your secluded walk-in low impact tent site with privy. Deep swimming holes and trout fishing beckon. There are three sites: #1: Riverside (more secluded),#2:Hillside(closest to the parking), and #3: Fireside. The hillside and fireside sites can combine for a group although are at a short distance from each other. If weather conditions permit, all campers can share the fire circle and table. The Riverside has its own table.

Site 2 Hillside

Beautiful river camping

This is a beautiful spot along the Sunday River. Swimming in the Sunday River was incredible, refreshing and relaxing. There is beautiful forest around the sites and it is a really peaceful location. It is close to many hikes and beautiful areas. The Hillside site is smaller than the other two and if I went back I would try to reserve the River site or the Fireside site. I requested to bring my own Solo stove which allowed us to have a fire at our site which worked great, otherwise, we would have needed to share a firepit with the Fireside site, as the firepit is in their site. Sharing a firepit can work, but in this case there was a young family at that site and my brother and I were looking to spend some time together. Also, it is in the description, but be prepared for the steep walk down and up from the parking area, it definitely could be challenging for some folks.

Lovely site with a nice river. The bugs are murder though. Would definitely book again.

Site 1 Riverside

I can’t wait to camp here again! Abi was super friendly and helpful and the campsite was perfect. I stayed at the Riverside site and fell asleep to the sound of rushing water every night. Exploring the river, swimming holes and waterfalls was so much fun. Truly a restorative experience.
