Located in the Androscoggin Valley near Gorham, New Hampshire, this National Forest campground provides the perfect base for exploring the Presidential Range and enjoying the natural wonders that make this region a year-round destination.

The campground sits at an elevation that offers relief from summer heat while remaining accessible throughout much of the year. The setting is quintessentially New Hampshire, with towering pine and hardwood forests creating a peaceful, shaded environment. Many sites offer good spacing between RVs, allowing for privacy and a genuine sense of being immersed in nature. The surrounding landscape features the dramatic peaks of the White Mountains visible in the distance, providing stunning views and countless opportunities for outdoor exploration.

Me, my brother, and brother in law camped at Dolly Coop for 4 nights. We were in the Brook loop. The sites are spacious and level. They are spaced out nicely. You really don't hear or see your neighbors. The campground is very well kept. The bathrooms are large and very clean. There is access right in the park to many trails heading up to the Presidential range. I would highly recommend this camp... Me, my brother, and brother in law camped at Dolly Coop for 4 nights.

We arrived at 3:20 in the afternoon on a Tuesday and the office was CLOSED FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!!! That might have been fine if I had made a note of our campsite number OR if there had been cell service in the park so I could have pulled up my reservation email.

What campground office closes for the day at 3:00 (or earlier?)??? We drove around through the campground looking for a park ranger or anyone who could help. We spotted a campsite with a sign that said “Host” and had a park ranger truck parked next to the camper in the site. I knocked loudly and got no response. Finally we found a spot where we could get a very faint cell signal and pulled up the confirmation. And once we knew the site number we were able to find it after much driving around and around. It was a very frustrating experience! Other than that, the site was nice, and the campground was sparsely populated and quiet. We were there to drive up Mt. Washington, and it’s nice that the campground is close to the auto road. By the way the Mt. Wash. auto road is privately operated (we had assumed it was a state thing) and cost $72 for the 2 of us! A lot more than we were expecting. They did give us a $10 off coupon for a meal at the nearby restaurant The Notch. So we had a yummy breakfast in a very nice restaurant for a good price the next morning.

Nice enough campground with sites tucked into the forest, however, pricey for what you get (or dont get). No camp store, and in 2 years of full time travel across the Country, I have NEVER had to pay for a shower at a State Park! And $10 for 14 minutes? Crazy. $44/night should include showers. Bathrooms were super clean

The new bathhouses and hot showers have made this classic campground even better. Hike directly from the camp up to the summit of Mt. Madison.

Nice campgrounds, no cellular service though (Verizon), so, good to unplug. Beautiful surroundings. We hiked mt Washington and enjoyed river views by the campsite. A few catches: the showers are coin metered, so prepare some cash. The campsites themselves vary in sizes -- from a small site with no shade to spacious nicely shaded ones. We stayed in June in a tent and the bugs were minimal.
