Jigger Johnson Campground

I’ve been coming here since 1994 as a toddler and just about every summer since. Never had an issue with camp hosts. Have never been confronted or told to put out a fire past a certain time. Have never been confronted about payment either. Neighbors are usually respectful and I personally have never had an issue. The bathrooms are clean with running water and the sites for the most part are kept up with as well. The sites do have a decent amount of privacy although I do feel as the years have gone on there’s been a good amount of thinning of the trees between sites and they have become more open which is disappointing but do understand that sometimes it has to be done. Overall I enjoy this campground and will continue to keep coming back with family. We have a trip planned for later this month and we are all very excited to come back!

We stayed here before when Barbara was the host and loved it. We were almost deterred to not come back during our recent trip because of the recent poor reviews, but figured we’d see for ourselves. We had a very pleasant time! No issues with rules being super strictly enforced as mentioned in some reviews. Quiet hours from 10pm to 6am which people followed at least in our area. We didn’t see the host besides when we had arrived at the campsite our first day, and Nat was very friendly and helpful. The restrooms (with flush toilets) were clean and had a lot of toilet paper in each stall, just bring your own soap to wash your hands. No running showers at the moment (late July 2024) due to the showers being worked on. The site is dog-friendly, and we dogsat for a friend. Check out is at noon. Would happily come back.

This is an amazing campground. There are no hook ups for rving so be prepared for that. There are coin operated showers , a choice of flush and drop toilets. Every site is enormous. It is first come, first served. Drive in, pick your site then go back to the self service pay station. Make sure to have cash on hand! The scent of the pine needles will be worth the price, which is soooo reasonable!

Stayed for an overnight trip. Site #47. Drive in, pick an open camp spot and pay for the nights by the front board. Clean area, some more open and several with in walking distance of the river. Picnic table with fire ring. Bath rooms were clean, didn’t use the showers but they do offer them. Three host locations for questions. Trails leading off in different directions. Some sites have more privacy. The inside locations had more of the trees cut down directly around them. No noise problems at night or in the morning. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a campground.

This is a very nice and convienantly located campground. Many hiking trails nearby and attractions. Campground is pretty much right in the middle of the Kangamangus hwy, next to Bear Notch Rd. Campground has nice different size sites, some wooded, some open and airy. The bathrooms were really kept clean, and they have coin operated hot showers. Hosts were friendly and enforced evening quiet hours. There is a short trail that leads to the river with a nice beach. Also there's a trail that leads to the Passaconway historical house/site. The nearest stores and gas stations are a bit aways, Conway about a 20 min drive on the east end of the Kanc or Lincoln a 30 min drive on the west end. With that being said, make sure your stocked up on ice, food, gas and camping items as the campground only has firewood for sale. This is a nice family or hikers campground. Beautiful place to take in all that the Kangamangus has to offer!
