Camping on the SACO River August

Camping on the SACO River August 19, 2023

In August this year Marie and I along with Cara Singh and her children Mia (11) and Heidi (8) drove to North Conway, New Hampshire for a 6-day camping trip at SACO River Family Campground. Our campsite was strategically positioned between the river on one side that the washrooms on the other. There was a massive playground that the kids took full advantage of and we all enjoyed tubing down the SACO River. Although we did several runs on the river every day, Heidi said that her only regret was that we didn’t go tubing enough.

We were fortunate to meet a great family from Boston who were camped next to us – Alvin and Suzanne Menon and their 7 year old son Samuel. Heidi and Samuel seemed to bond immediately and they were nearly inseparable as you will see in these photos.

While camping we did a few outings to visit the local attractions. We did a day run to the White Mountain Forest where we visited Sabbathday Park and on another day the Menon’s joined us on a hike to Cathedral Ledge where we witnessed climbers scaling the granite cliffs. Although, we had great sunny weather most of the time, it rained on our last night so we were forced to break camp in the rain. In spite of the rain we have already booked our campsite for next year.
