VISITOR FEES Most of our campgrounds will charge a FEE when campers have visitors at their properties. You might ask WHY? Consider the expense of operating a camping facility from the cost of utilities, to maintaining pools, restrooms, insurance, safety concerns and the added strains on the entire property when visitors are present. Who’s to pay for all of this? We hope you’ll understand that visitor fees are just the price of admission to the campground’s facilities. Thank you

A Guide to Considerate Camping The missus and I are big fans of camping, ever since the time we vacationed at my cousin Maude’s house. Maude has a coon cat the size of a ride-on mower, and it sounds like one too. The cat was used to sleeping on the guest bed, and when I tried to argue about it, the cat won. After that, we bought a little pop-up and ain’t been back to Maude’s since. We have camped all over New

Why Do Campers Love New Hampshire? It’s beautiful, close to home and there’s lots to do!

fter the 2011 camping season, the New Hampshire Campground Owners’ Association surveyed campers to find out what they thought about camping in the state. Here’s what they told us about their experience in New Hampshire. PLENTIFUL ACTIVITIES From deep-sea fishing to the NASCAR races, hiking to tax-free shopping, there is a variety of activities that campers enjoy in New Hampshire. One camper said “I live in the mountains so I camp in the Lakes Region most often and on the coast. We have such a beautiful state that there is really no place that I don’t like to camp.” “We enjoyed the forested campgrounds,” says another camper. “It

Planning your trip to New Hampshire 1. Check the information in this guide. 2. Visit NHlovescampers.com. 3. Check out the state’s tourism website www.VisitNH.gov or call 1-800-FUN-IN-NH. Want to give camping a try? Many campgrounds offer on-site trailers, park models and camping cabin rentals. If you don’t have camping equipment these give you a great way to get started.

felt secluded yet we were close to Story Land and other attractions like Lost River Gorge. We can fill an entire week with activities in an environment that is family friendly.” Many echoed similar sentiments with one adding, “I love the close proximity of the lakes, mountains, and the ocean. There are so many activities and fun to be had in New Hampshire!” CLOSE TO HOME Another reason that many campers come to New Hampshire is the close proximity to cities such as Boston and Hartford. Just over the border from Massachusetts and a quick drive from Connecticut, many respondents from southern New England felt that New Hampshire is the perfect getaway from the bustle of city life. One person noted that they enjoyed New Hampshire because of its “Close proximity to Boston. There are lots of options that are in the wilderness, yet near many activities, lakes and beautiful mountains” “We live in the city and now we are seasonal campers,” added another camper. “On the weekends we take the kids and go to Continued on pg 71

onadnock Region The perfect mix of country charm and easy going lifestyle Most visitors plan a stop at the Cathedral of the Pines in Rindge, an outdoor shrine honoring the men and women who have died in the service of their nation. Seated on pews in the shade of tall pines, the visitor is inspired by a view of "The Mountain" beyond the altar, which is built of stones from every corner of the world. Visit Chesterfield Gorge and walk pathways through the deep cuts in rock formations.

Monadnock Region— Quintessential New England

The Monadnock Region is the epitome of New England picture books. You will find small villages where white clapboard churches and town halls edge manicured town greens. Rolling fields with neatly planted rows quilt the hillsides and country roads lined by rock walls inspire exploration at a leisurely pace. The views compare with something by Currier and Ives with the backdrop of Mount Monadnock reaching 3,165 feet. It is said to be the second most frequently climbed mountain in the world, after Japan's Mt. Fuji.

Antique shops, summer theaters, and music festivals are plentiful. Visit the Apple Hill Center and enjoy Chamber Music, or you can spend an afternoon at Friendly Farm in Dublin to picnic and pet the farm animals. Families can watch chicks hatching, a working beehive and young animals nursing. The Monadnock Region is an all season, small town, slow-paced camping experience. In the spring it all comes into bloom, which is a perfect time to visit Rhododendron State Park in Fitzwilliam. Pisgah State Park, the largest in New Hampshire, encompasses an area that includes Hinsdale, Winchester and Chesterfield. Pisgah offers many activities incluing hiking, mountain biking, fishing, horseback riding, ATV and snowmobiling. Summer brings fishing, swimming, boating, auto racing, and dog racing at nearby tracks. Spofford lake has a public swimming beach. Take a hayride or shop the flea markets and craft displays at Colony Mill Marketplace. The fall season is as spectacular as anywhere in the state. Plan your visit around the Hillsborough Balloon Festival and Fair, Winchester Pickle Festival or the Keene Pumpkin Fesitval. Winter brings cross-country skiers to the woodland trails and skaters to the many ponds. Visitors also enjoy winter sleigh rides at Silver Ranch in Jaffrey all of it midst the beauty of scenery fit for a Christmas card.

Located in the southwestern corner of the state, the Monadnock region offers campers an opportunity to spend a vacation or a weekend in an area that typifies small town New England, village greens with a bandstand for evening concerts, white church steeples poking above the trees and waterways accented with stone arch bridges or covered bridges (there are 8 in the region) that symbolize small town New Hampshire. The center of it all is the attractive little city of Keene with its broad Main Street decorated with floral displays. Get a glimpse into the past at Keene’s Thorne Art Gallery and places such as Fitzwilliam, Jaffrey, and Peterborough, referred to as the “Our Town” of Wilder fame.

Advice from Fred Marple–Be neat Keep your campsite tidy, especially when you leave. No one wants to arrive at a campsite that’s a mess. It’s called karma (or, in Yankee talk, “What goes around, comes around.”)

Wilderness Camping

8. Mount Major Locate a short hike to a beautiful view on one of the main tourist arteries in the Lakes Region and you’re sure to generate plenty of interest. Within easy driving distance of Meredith and Weirs Beach. Laconia, NH - Hiking - 3 miles 9. Mount Pawtuckaway - North Peak An interesting boulder field, good wildlife habitat, and excellent views on one of the best hikes in southeastern New Hampshire. Deerfield, NH - Hiking - 6 miles 10. Appalachian Trail: Mount Washington & the Southern Presidential Range Nearly two centuries after it was first blazed, the Crawford Path to the summit of Mount Washington remains one of the grandest walks in America. The nation's oldest continuously maintained footpath. Willey House, NH - Hiking - 12.4 miles

ew Hampshire provides many special places to get away into the natural world of nature. For some folks this means tenting or camping at a smaller, more remote campground where they are “roughing it”or getting “away from it all”. To other campers, the wilderness means getting back into the more remote backcountry where supplies or services are limited or not available. New Hampshire provides many miles of trails including a 160-mile portion of the famous Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia.

4. Mount Washington via Boott Spur At 6,288 feet, Mount Washington is the highest point in New England, and its weather is considered the worst in the world. Gorham, NH - Hiking - 9.5 miles 5. Mount Washington, Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail The Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail is the most direct western route to the alpine splendor that cloaks Mount Washington’s shoulders. Berlin, NH - Hiking - 9 miles

The Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT) links the waterways of New York, Vermont, Québec, New Hampshire and Maine. Planning and being prepared are the keys to a successful wilderness camping experience.

11. Mount Lafayette / Mount Lincoln, Bridle Path Loop Trailheads located within yards of an interstate highway seldom promise extraordinary mountain adventure. All the more special, then, is this classic loop hike that departs the Franconia Notch Parkway. Littleton, NH - Hiking - 8 miles 12. Mount Chocorua, Champney Brook Trail Originating from the magnificent Kancamagus Highway, the Champney Brook Trail ascends the gradual, northern facet of Mount Chocorua’s jutting peak. Conway, NH - Hiking - 7.25 miles 13. Crotched Mountain The path to Crotched Mountain provides the finest views for the least effort of any walking trail in the Monadnock Region. This exceptional family outing opens wide-angle vistas of southwestern New Hampshire. Greenfield, NH - Hiking - 3 miles

A Few of New Hampshire’s More Popular Hikes

14. Mount Chocorua Mount Chocorua (pronounced ChuCORE-ooh-a) is a popular peak at the eastern end of the Sandwich Range, south of the Kancamagus Highway. Chocorua, NH - Hiking - 7.5 miles

1. Hut-to-Hut Presidential Traverse Hiking the Presidential Range from end to end is one of the United States’ classic treks. Of course, numerous trails can be used to accomplish this trip. Gorham, NH - Hiking - 25.5 miles 2. Franconia Ridge This trip is easily near the top of the list of best hikes in New England. Of course, Franconia Ridge also can be a very busy place on any weekend with good weather. Lincoln, NH - Hiking - 8.9 miles

6. Mount Monadnock, White Cross Trail A solitary peak with centuries of tradition, Mount Monadnock is one of the world’s most frequently climbed summits, New Hampshire’s version of Mount Fuji. Nashua, NH - Hiking - 4.5 miles

3. Arethusa Falls Trails Dropping more than 200 feet in a swath of lacy mist, the plunge of Bemis Rock creates New Hampshire's highest falls and a premier natural wonder. North Conway, NH - Hiking - 4.5 miles

7. Mount Cardigan A challenging hike to one of the best viewpoints in New Hampshire. The state of New Hampshire's website for Cardigan State Park lists hiking as the only activity in this 5,600-acre park. Bristol, NH - Hiking - 5.6 miles

www.nhlovescampers.com

15. Belknap Mountain, Red Trail Belknap Mountain rises 600 feet above the bald pate of Mount Major, yet thanks to the carriage road, the walk to its summit is much less demanding than the ascent of its smaller neighbor. Gilford, NH - Hiking - 1.6 miles Descriptions were taken from the following sources: From the guidebook "Discover the White Mountains of New Hampshire” From the guidebook "Hiking New Hampshire" From the guidebook "Exploring the Appalachian Trail: Hikes in Northern New England” Read more at Trails.com: Best Hiking in New Hampshire

artmouth– Lake Sunapee Includes Grafton, Merrimack & Sullivan Counties

Dartmouth– Lake Sunapee The Best Kept Secret? Traveling interstates 89 or 91, you will find the Dartmouth–Sunapee Region, which may be the state of New Hampshire’s best kept secret. Those who know, return time and time again to this relatively unknown and non-commercialized region of the state that is rich in history and has untouched natural beauty.

Shaped and polished by the ancient glaciers, this region is referred to as the Upper Connecticut River Valley (or Upper Valley). It spans portions of the New Hampshire counties of Grafton, Merrimack, and Sullivan with the Connecticut river flowing between and connecting to our bordering neighbor of Vermont, resulting in a vibrant meld of art, science, nature, and history. The beauty and landscape has attracted world class educators, engineers, scientists, writers, artists, and craftsmen from around the world to make this their home. Agriculture rounds out the Upper Valley’s character with organic farms, orchards, private stock farms, tree farms, and maple sugaring. Offering an authentic New England atmosphere, the Upper Connecticut River Valley is home to quaint towns and villages with the architecture and ambiance that has been untouched by “progress.” Nationally recognized scenic byways with views of mountains, lakes, rivers, and farm land can be experienced while driving, biking, horseback riding, boating, kayaking, hiking, ATVing or just strolling.

akes Region Lake Winnipesaukee is just one of the many fantastic spots to stay near Lakes Region — New Hampshire’s Natural Playground

LA Science Center in Holderness, amusements at Weirs Beach, and Laconia, which is famous for its Motorcycle Week and the historic Belknap Mill. Shopping from small boutiques in resort towns to factory outlets, like Tanger Outlets in Tilton, can be found throughout this diverse region.

The Lakes Region is famous for its large, clear lakes and small ponds with 70,000 acres of pristine waterways but is also surrounded by mountains, deep woods, farmlands, and small quiet villages and busy resort towns. While there are 273 lakes and ponds in the region, one lake dominates them all, Lake Winnipesaukee, at 72 square-miles, 274 islands and 200 miles of shoreline.

Summer may be the Lakes Region's bestknown season, but wrap the hillsides in spring green, the blazing colors of fall or a thick blanket of snow, and it is every bit as magical. The region is an all-season vacation area where visitors return year after year. In autumn, harvest season offers fresh produce and colorful foliage that can be enjoyed from any drive. Come winter, there is ice fishing and ice sailing, skating and snowmobiling and world-class skiing (cross-country and downhill). Spring is the perfect time to watch exquisite glassware being made at Pepi Herrman Crystal in Gilford, or take a tour of the Hampshire Pewter Co. in Wolfeboro.

The lakes make the region a mecca for swimming, boating, fishing or water skiing. You can cruise Lake Winnipesaukee on the vessel Mount Washington or take a guided boat trip on Squam Lake, made famous in the film "On Golden Pond." There are also summer theaters, fairs, nightclubs and restaurants serving gourmet fare and others with a reputation for good home cooking.

Located in Central New Hampshire, the Lakes Region is an ideal base for traveling all over the state if you choose. The camping options span from small, quiet, primitive places to resorts with all the amusements to satisfy visitors of all interests.

Cultural attractions include the Museum of Childhood in Wakefield, The Wright Museum of World War II in Wolfeboro, the Antique Boat Museum in Wolfeboro, Moultonborough's Loon Center or Famous Castle in the Clouds, the New Hampshire Farm Museum in Milton, Squam Lake Natural

Advice from Fred Marpleâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Pets Many campgrounds welcome pets, but use some common sense. One time Bertha Eldridge went camping with all 14 of her cats and spent the whole week letting them in and out of the camper. Plus the dog in the next site was a nervous wreck.

Advice from Fred Marple–Don’t feed the wildlife. That squirrel hanging around your site may look cute, but if you feed him, he’ll invite all his friends and neighbors, and pretty soon the National Association of Furry Rodents will be holding its annual convention on top of your Winnebago. My friend Burt once left left two slices of cheese, a Slim Jim and half a box of Oreos on the picnic table at his campsite. By morning, mice had eaten the cheese, ants were rafting on the Slim Jim down at the lake, and two bears were sitting at the picnic table using the Oreos as poker chips. Burt took off before finding out what the winner got.

outh Central– Merrimack Region Features the cities of Concord, Manchester and Nashua South Central — City Scene Meets Country Ease in Merrimack Valley

Where the capital's name, Concord, is a synonym for "harmony," it is not surprising to find music and the performing arts central to life in the city and the entire Merrimack Valley Region. The state's three largest cities, Concord, Manchester, and Nashua, have an especially rich cultural life, with a variety of offerings year-round. The Merrimack Valley is sure to please campers seeking a bustling city environment or the quiet countryside. In the South Central Region of New Hampshire, also referred to as Daniel Webster country, it's easy to travel around the New Hampshire turnpikes. Shopping is abundant with malls, small shops and factory outlets. Campgrounds are idyllic, along scenic New England byways, yet just a few miles from the theater, fine dining, nightclubs, amusements and educational attractions.

Pick your ideal location on the Region Map and then check out the Campgrounds in that area using the number code. Locators are approximate. Refer to listings for more accurate locations.

Nearby trails for hiking, much of which is along the banks of the Merrimack River, are fit for rookies or experts and riverside parks offer places to picnic on a sunny afternoon. Winter offers an abundance of activities such as skiing, tubing, and riding the snowmobile trails.

– Family Camping–

Advice from Fred Marple–Life in the slow lane. The whole point of camping is to relax, so when you’re coming or going in your vehicle, slow down and keep an eye out for kids walking or riding bikes. Besides, the dust cloud you raise could add an interesting flavor to your neighbors’ hotdogs that they may not appreciate.

hite Mountains Region

Mount Washington, Kancamagus Highway and Conway soaring down Wildcat Mountain on the ZipRider. Covered bridges are tucked into many back roads and take a drive along the Kancamagus Highway (Route 112) with 30 miles of spectacular viewing along the only National Scenic Byway in New England. Allow plenty of time to stop for a picnic, to view the scene from an overlook, or hike a short distance to a beautiful waterfall such as Arethusa or Franconia Falls.

White Mountains — Recreation Amidst Spectacular Scenery

The White Mountains are best known for majestic peaks that may be viewed from the many scenic valleys of New Hampshire. The region boasts twenty 4,000-foot peaks and five summits higher than 5,000 feet, along with the highest mountain in the Northeast, 6,288 foot Mt. Washington. However, it is the 800,000acre White Mountain National Forest that truly shapes the region. Spectacular views from the top may be reached on foot, by car via the Auto Road, or from the historic Cog Railway. There are also cable cars, gondolas, chairlifts, and even helicopter flights throughout the region.

The White Mountains Region is also synonymous with recreation. Play tennis or golf at one of nine courses, hike, fish, hunt, swim, or go boating. In winter visit one of 13 ski resorts, along with snowmobiling, sledding, or snowshoeing. Enjoy the Conway Scenic Railroad or the 15-mile Hobo Railroad, the famous Flume Gorge and the historic former site of the Old Man of the Mountain and the new Old Man of the Mountain museum. Explore Lost River, the Polar Caves or relax with the family at Clark's Trading Post, Story Land, Santa's Village or Six Gun City and Fort Splash Water Park. Spend some time shopping (tax free) at the many factory outlet stores, particularly in the North Conway area. There also are many small shops for the antique collector, or any other collector.

A family may choose from a broad variety of campgrounds from the state’s more populous southern section to northern moose country. If you like rustic, it's here. The White Mountains Region is made up by 8000,000 acres of National Forest with waterfalls that thunder and others that just trickle gently. There is great hiking at Great Glen Trails, canoeing down the Saco River or for the more adventurous, white-water canoeing or

Advice from Fred Marple–Leave your wood at home.

Here in New Hampshire, we love our maples, birches, and ash trees. Unfortunately, so do invasive pests, which can hitch a ride on any firewood you bring from home, even when you can’t see ‘em! So buy firewood from the campground or one of our many local entrepreneurs and help us keep those darn bugs out. Speaking of wood, check with the campground before you go picking up kindling to make sure it’s OK with them. And be sure it’s good and dead too, not some sapling that your neighbor’s hammock is tied to.

reat North Woods Region Endless acres of unspoiled wilderness in any season highways). Above all, the Great North Woods lends itself to wildlife watching, and is home to more than 3,500 moose.

Great North Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Woods, Water & Wilderness

Scenic drives are the highlight of the Great North Woods. Whether it be traveling on Route 3, which allows you spectacular views of the rolling farmland along the Connecticut River, or driving across Route 26 past one of the Grand Old Hotels "The Balsams" in Dixville Notch. Yes, it is a steep, but very short climb, nothing to be concerned about with that RV. Then you're on your way down towards Errol and Lake Umbagog, where the majestic American Eagle has begun to nest once again. Stop along your drive to take photos, pick wild blueberries or bring a picnic lunch to Beaver Brook Falls in Colebrook.

The Great North Woods can be summed up in two words: unspoiled wilderness. Truly the last frontier, it is the northern most region of New Hampshire, stretching above the White Mountains, to the Canadian border. Its proximity to Canada's Province of Quebec, as well as the Maine and Vermont borders, has resulted in a fascinating mix of cultures and outlooks. Vast woods and water dominate the landscape in the Great North Woods. Forest makes up 97% of the land, much of which is privately held but often open for recreational use. The famous Connecticut Lakes and the upper area of the Connecticut River offer trout and salmon fishing. Sporting adventure is a way of life, from hunting to fishing, camping, hiking, boating, rockclimbing and snowmobiling (with more miles of trails than state

Heading south on Route 16 brings you to Thirteen Mile Woods, a beautiful drive thru undeveloped and uninhabited woods along the Androscoggin River, a favorite spot for fishing, canoeing and kayaking. As you enter the outskirts of the City of Berlin you can imagine the lumberjacks of days long past, as they jumped across the logs damming up the river, trying to keep the logs moving towards the old paper mill. For your own adventure, hike or bike the cross-country trails, the same trails that are explored on skis and snowmobiles in winter.

Pick your ideal location on the Region Map and then check out the Campgrounds in that area using the number code.

The Great North Woods Region is the epitome of the simple life with white steeple churches, farmers markets and hometown parades. Consistent with the region itself, the camping offers outstanding scenery and recreation, with a number of state parks as well as private campgrounds to choose from.

PROPANE SAFETY AT CAMPGROUNDS

CAMPING ETIQUETTE FOR PETS 1. Do Not Allow pets to roam freely around the campground. 2. Do Not Allow pets to go out early in the a.m. to do their duty on your neighbor’s site or worse yet on their equipment. 3. Do Not leave pets unattended on your site, which causes them to bark and whine disturbing fellow campers. 4. Do pick up after your pet. 5. Do Not Bring pets to beach and pool area.

This camping and hunting season, get your firewood from a vendor close to your destination. Don’t pack your own! Invasive insects and diseases in dead and dying wood threaten our native trees and forests. If you move firewood, you could be giving these pests a free ride to new territory. Every camper, cabin owner, and recreationist should leave their firewood at home and obtain it near their destination… that could make a longterm difference in the health of our forests and the quality of our recreational experiences. 70

Information provided by the NATIONAL LP-GAS ASSOCIATION • If an RV has been idle and unused for some time, make some safety checks before using the LP-gas appliances. • Check the entire vehicle, especially the propane system, for possible tampering. Make sure the propane tanks are properly secured. If the cylinders are not mounted on the vehicle, it is recommended that they be placed on level ground, on a firm foundation. • Check all vents (including the regulator vent) and combustion air intakes to make sure they are clear, and contain no restrictions such as foreign matter, bird nests, mouse nests, or mud-dauber wasp structures. • Clean away any debris from around burners and pilot lights such as burnt match sticks, bits of food, etc. • Before turning on the gas at the tanks, be sure all appliance valves are turned OFF, and check to determine which pilot lights must be lit. After the gas has been turned on, be sure all pilots are lit. • As a precaution to determine if any leaks have developed, give your RV a “sniff” test, do a soap bubble test at all connections, or contact your local LP-gas supplier to perform a pressure test on your system.

TIPS FOR CAMPERS BRAKE FOR MOOSE IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE! Today, in spite of a limited annual hunt, moose are found throughout the state, and so are moose-car collisions We want you to enjoy traveling in New Hampshire. Here are some things you need to know to reduce the likelihood of serious injury and extensive damage to your vehicle. The average moose weighs 1,000 lbs! That’s 4 times the size of a big trophy white-tailed deer. The hood of your vehicle fits neatly under the belly of the moose Moose are a safety concern primarily from May to October. Don’t assume the moose has seen you and will wait until you pass to cross the road.

eacoast Region Historic Portsmouth and Hampton Beach

Seacoast — The Essence of New England's Oceanfront

The attraction of the Seacoast is, of course, the Atlantic oceanfront. In the 18 miles of New Hampshire’s coastline, there are long, sandy beaches, working ports, offshore islands, surf-stung rocks, and popular resort towns and villages that date back nearly four hundred years. Many visitors begin their tours of New Hampshire along the coast, drawn by the sound and scent of the sea. With beaches like Jenness, Wallis Sands and North Hampton State Beach, the stretch of sandy shore is the magnet that brings visitors to the region, but there are enough attractions to spend the whole summer. Indeed there are campgrounds in the Seacoast Region that are strictly for seasonals but there are still plenty of places for the traveling camper. However, we suggest you plan ahead and make reservations.

Olde Port area midst tugboats and small gourmet restaurants. Strawberry Banke is a historic recreation of life in Colonial days. The Submarine USS New Hampshire was commissioned at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and you can also venture inside the smaller USS Albacore, built at Portsmouth and now on display at Albacore Park.

Portsmouth, the attractive old-fashioned city that is the hub of this area, is a place of historic homes, beautiful parks, and a variety of museums and amusements. Window shop as you walk the brick paved streets or relax at a sidewalk café. Narrow lanes lead down to the

Hampton Beach is not only for sunbathers and swimmers, it's a place to go for a variety of fun from theaters and nightclubs to amusement rides, arcade games and specialty shops. You can spend the day on a deep sea fishing expedition, take a narrated boat tour of the harbor or go on a whale watch. Enjoy seashore nature at Odiorne Point State Park or shop at the malls, and factory outlets.

TIPS FOR CAMPERS

WINTER CAMPING EXPERIENCE Winter camping isn’t just for skiers and snowmobilers anymore. Each year, an increasing number of campers are winterizing their equipment so they can enjoy a weekend or a vacation in the outdoors at a time of year when the campgrounds are quiet and uncrowded.

CAMPING SAFETY

For...

Kids!

1. Toasting marshmallows is fun but be careful cause they are very hot inside. 2. Let your folks start grills and campfires. 3. Don’t forget... to look both ways when riding your bikes or scooters around the campground. 4. Always have a grownup with you when you’re near the water. 5. If you get lost in the woods make a lot of noise. STAY IN ONE PLACE. 6. Fireworks and sparklers are exciting but you should only use them with a grownup 7. Making new friends can be the best part about camping but remember to ALWAYS... ALWAYS let your folks know where you are. 8. Playgrounds are great but treat things with respect and follow the safety rules. 9. Animals are cute and fun to watch. But be careful you don’t get too close. A scared animal could be DANGEROUS.

For...Hikers! Ten Essentials ITEMS YOU SHOULD CARRY ON EVERY TRIP: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

For...Campers! Please remember that as a camper you are a visitor, and to some of our wildlife... an intruder. Please Do Not feed the animals, their survival depends upon their ability to forage for themselves. Observe them, enjoy their company, but always remember that YOU are a visitor in THEIR HOME.

Important Things to Remember Do not move firepits Do not cut trees or shrubbery Obey quiet hours Do not set up after quiet hours Remember noise travels further in the outdoors Keep campsite clean Respect your neighbor Observe all pet rules Teach children campground etiquette Have Fun & Enjoy The Outdoors

LEARN TO LIVE WITH BEARS… Bear/camper conflicts are most often created by people who (knowingly or innocently) trigger a natural reaction on the part of the bear that sometimes results in damage to personal property. To prevent conflicts with bears, follow a few simple rules: 1. Be Very Careful With Food Scraps. 2. Clean Up After Every Meal or Snack. 3. Do Not Dump Scraps of Meat, Food or Fat Drippings Into Your Fire. 4. Learn the Schedule of Trash Pick-Up In Your Area. 5. Do Not Cook Food Or Eat Inside Your Tent. 6. Hang Food At Least 10 Feet Above the Ground on a Limb That Cannot Support a Bear’s Weight Do not attempt to feed, tease or approach any bear that you do see. View bears from a safe distance. For more information about black bears, contact the NH Fish & Game Dept. at (603) 271-3211. For more information, visit: www.wildlife.state.nh.us

We hope to see you camping in New Hampshire soon!
