About
A rustic Adirondack campground in Wilmington Notch along the West Branch Ausable River, near Whiteface Mountain, with 52 tent-style sites and no RV hookups. Hot showers, flush toilets, and a trailer dump station are on site; garbage must be taken to a recycling center. Pets are welcome with proof of current rabies vaccination, but not in buildings, on the beach, or in day-use areas. Maximum 6 people per site, 14-night stay limit.
Fees
Primitive-site pricing applies: about $14/night base rate plus a $7.25 reservation fee, since no sites have hookups. A $5/night non-resident surcharge applies to out-of-state campers. Confirm current pricing when you book.
