Our Story

Wholesome Fun for the Entire Family

At Beach Camping Area, we believe in providing wholesome fun for the entire family. It's our joy bringing people together to enjoy everything the beautiful Mt. Washington Valley has to offer. 


For generations, families and friends have visited The Beach Camping Area, and our mission is to carry on that legacy.  We believe if we provide a safe, clean place for our guests to reconnect, mother nature will do all the rest.  While many parks believe bigger is better, we simply try to provide a traditional camping experience in a stunning location. 

Contact us and let us introduce you to the wonders of the Saco River.

Our mission is to provide a safe, scenic, and welcoming camping experience where families and friends can gather, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty and serenity of the Saco River.

To the north, explore tax-free shopping, mountain biking, fishing, fly fishing, hiking, and over 100 restaurants to choose from.

Our Draw

Family is at the heart of Beach Camping Area, where quiet hours, fun activities, and safety are top priorities. We continually make improvements to campground amenities and place great importance on offering quality accommodations and memorable guest experiences.


Improvements

 

Our Campground

 

The Beach Campground was developed in the 1960’s by Mary and Arthur Perkins. In 2021 it was purchased by the Saco River Tubing Center. Owners, Pete and Adina Gagne immediately began to revitalize the property while keeping its old school camping charm. One of the most important decisions they made was hiring the Best Campground Manager, Christine. She has revitalized the spirit of camping with old school camp fire games and team building skills, and always greets you with a smile.


Some recent upgrades include improved electric and Wi-Fi, a community firepit, a new playground, a dog park, tables and chairs on the beach, cabin rentals, and a handy online reservation system. We’re committed to continuing these enhancements so future generations can enjoy all that the Beach Camping Area and Mt. Washington Valley have to offer.

New owners have done a great job making improvements. Well kept campground with all the amenities.

It was an absolute joy to stay at this campground (for over a month), and I really wish I didn't have to leave.
