Can I bring My dog?

If you’ve booked a camping site, absolutely bring your pooch. Please also have on hand any and all registration/vaccination paperwork. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the hostel.

Can I shower?

Our hostel has 3 communal showers (one of which is ADA compliant) and one shower located in the private suite. These showers are for our indoor guests only. Campers at the campground have an experimental outdoor shower located next to the toilets.

Can I cook?

Inside the hostel we have a small kitchenette with cooktop and sink. By all means, please cook! Just make sure to leave the kitchen cleaner than you found it. Our campers have the option of cooking over the campfire, or bringing a portable cooktop with them.

Campers are unfortunately not allowed in the hostel. This is a facility that hostel guests have paid a premium to utilize.

You should bring your toiletries, a towel (we have towels for rent for $2), slippers/slides (there are no shoes allowed in the barn, we have a few slippers you can borrow if you forget). Please do not bring your personal linens. All beds are equipped with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, pillow and pillow case, as well as two blankets.

We offer shuttles to the Appalachian Trail on Rt 25A when available. These cost $5 per person one way and are upon request and availability of drivers. Please ask a staff on duty for coordination.

Plymouth Ski and Sport is the closest option for climbing gear and adventure (mountain bike, ski, kayak) rentals. Alternatively, you can go to Ski Fanatics on your way up to Loon, Cannon, or Waterville Valley. Ski Fanatics offers rentals and equipment for purchase at extremely reasonable prices.

We do not rent any gear at this time. There are no climbing gear rental options in the area.
