About This Park
Located within the Franconia Notch State Park, Lafayette Place Campground serves as a central hub for hikers and nature enthusiasts exploring the White Mountain National Forest. This heavily wooded park offers a rustic experience with easy access to the Lonesome Lake Trail and the Pemigewaset River. Guests can enjoy a mountain setting surrounded by high peaks, though its proximity to I-93 makes it a better fit for those who prioritize trail access over complete silence.
