About
Cannon Mountain RV Park is a small, full-hookup RV campground inside Franconia Notch State Park in the White Mountains, near the Cannon Mountain tramway and ski area. All 7 sites are back-in with 30-amp electric, water, and sewer, and campers must be fully self-contained. Open year-round, though water service is shut off in the off-season (Tuesday after Columbus Day through the Thursday before Memorial Day). An RV dump station is on site. Pets are not permitted. This is a separate, smaller campground from Franconia Notch's other camping area, Lafayette Place, about a mile and a half south along the parkway.
