About this campground
Nestled in New Hampshire's rugged North Country, Jericho Mountain State Park beckons adventure seekers with its diverse camping options and unparalleled access to outdoor thrills. Choose from cozy lean-tos tucked beneath towering pines, secluded tent-only sites perfect for stargazing, or comfortable cabins that blend rustic charm with modern convenience. As a premier destination for off-road enthusiasts, the park serves as your gateway to miles of interconnected ATV trails, while hikers can explore peaceful forest paths and families can spend lazy afternoons by the sparkling lake, paddling, swimming, or simply soaking in the wilderness serenity.
Jericho Mountain State Park accommodates a variety of camping styles, including tent camping, RV-friendly sites, and cabin lodging. ATV enthusiasts are particularly catered to, with direct trail access from the campground.
Historical SignificanceWhile the recorded history of this wilderness gem remains untold, the land speaks its own ancient story through weathered granite peaks and old-growth forest stands that have witnessed centuries of seasonal change.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic beauty of New Hampshire's changing seasons at Jericho Mountain. Winter transforms the landscape into a pristine wonderland, with deep snowpack creating perfect conditions for snowmobiling and winter sports. Spring brings renewal as snow melts into rushing streams and wildflowers emerge. Summer offers warm, comfortable days ideal for camping, though be prepared for the occasional dramatic thunderstorm that rolls through the mountains. Fall paints the forest in brilliant golds and crimsons, with crisp air and cool nights perfect for campfire gatherings.
ElevationThe campground's mountain setting provides a natural escape into New Hampshire's highland wilderness, where the air feels fresher and the stars shine brighter away from the lowland lights.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in the raw beauty of the North Woods, where dense forests of spruce, fir, and hardwoods create a living cathedral around your campsite. The centerpiece lake mirrors the surrounding peaks and provides a tranquil contrast to the adrenaline-pumping trail systems. Morning mists rise from the water as loons call across the surface, while the extensive ATV and OHRV trail network winds through valleys and over ridges, offering riders endless opportunities to explore this rugged backcountry paradise.
Geological RegionSet within the magnificent Great North Woods Management Area, Jericho Mountain State Park showcases the untamed character of New Hampshire's northern frontier. This vast forested expanse represents one of the last great wildernesses in the Northeast, where ancient geological forces have carved a landscape of rolling mountains, hidden valleys, and pristine waterways. The park's strategic location provides campers with direct access to the region's extensive motorized trail systems while preserving the natural beauty that makes the North Woods a treasured escape.
