What are the best sites for family and kids? Preferably near swimming and showers
Hey Erin,
I’d start with our favorite/best campsites at Tettegouche State Park: 1, 2, 4, 9, 12, 17, 26. These are large, level and private. Of those, site #17 is closest to the trail to the river. It doesn’t have electric hookups though. Sites 1 and 2 are fairly close to the showers and both have electric hookups.
