👉Introducing White Mountain National Forest in Campton, New Hampshire, USA.
🏕Camping in the White Mountain National Forest offers a variety of experiences, from primitive backcountry camping to developed campgrounds with amenities. Spanning over 800,000 acres in New Hampshire and Maine, this area is renowned for its stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and extensive recreational opportunities.

1️⃣Dolly Copp Campground: One of the largest in the forest, located near the base of Mount Washington, it has 176 sites and is popular among families and hikers planning to summit Mount Washington.
2️⃣Hancock Campground: Open year-round, this campground on the Kancamagus Highway offers 56 sites along the Pemigewasset River, making it an excellent spot for fishing and swimming.

In addition to these exciting opportunities, Vista Recreation will help the Forests and Grassland better manage some of its most popular sites year-round.

23/04/2024

🛑For Immediate Release!🛑
"BISHOP, Calif., April 19, 2024 — Seven recreation sites in Inyo National Forest (Forest) will now be run by a concessionaire under Vista Recreation’s permit, starting April 26, 2024. ➡One site, June Lake Beach, will have a new $10 day use fee, with the remaining six sites’ fees unchanged.
June Lake Beach -- After many summers of safety concerns at June Lake Beach regarding illegal parking, emergency vehicle access and increased public use, the new fee will help the Forest and Vista Recreation in staffing, operations and maintenance of June Lake Beach facilities, such as cleaning toilets and removing trash. There will also be a $50 seasonal pass available for frequent day use visitors. Both the $10 day use fee and the $50 seasonal pass can be purchased on-site at the entrance.
Campers nearby who walk in will not be charged the new day use fee. Parking lot hours will vary according to peak season days.
Campgrounds -- For the remaining six sites, Vista Recreation will now provide paid camp hosts, maintenance to facilities, and regular cleaning to improve visitor experience with no change in fees.
“The Inyo National Forest made this change because limited staffing over the last few years has been insufficient to adequately manage this popular day use site,” said Adam Barnett, Public Services staff officer for the Inyo National Forest.
The campgrounds now under concessionaire are as follows:
Horseshoe Meadow Equestrian Campground
Cottonwood Pass Walk-in Campground (aka. Golden Trout Backpacker Campground)
Cottonwood Lakes Walk-in Campground
Lower Lee Vining Campground
Moraine Campground
Aspen Campground
Vista will also be able to provide more interpretive programs at some of these campgrounds." We look forward to our continued partnership and stewardship.
