Mollidgewock State Park — Hotel in Errol

Small quiet campground right on the Androcoggin River. Love the lean-to that is on the rapids, falling asleep to the sounds of the river is so soothing. Great kayaking, especially if you have a driver to pick you up downriver so you can skip paddling back upstream. Tubing and fishing also popular. Short drive north on route 26 will take you to the beautiful towering cliffs of Dixville notch and a short drive south on route 26 takes you past Lake Umbagog and on to Grafton Notch where the Appalachian trail crosses. Good hiking in & around both notches. Drive through the peaceful 13 Mile Woods as you follow the river south on route 16. There is wildlife viewing all around and there is the potential to see a moose or an eagle without ever leaving the campground. If you need amenities like flush toilets, cell reception, or shopping malls then this is NOT the place for you, but that is why I love it!

I chose this campground for the dark skies and absence of light pollution, which would allow me to view and photograph the milky way on a clear night. We ended up staying three nights and learned a lot during our stay. There are wooded sites, grassy sites, and walk-in secluded sites. The river has a slow pace side of the curve and a bit more of a rapid pace side of the curve as it wraps around the land. It's wonderfully in the middle of nowhere but there is a big general store 3 miles down the road if you need supplies. We learned to venture out into the river water and float along. We saw a bald eagle fly along the river. The little office/shop was very helpful in selling us firewood, letting us change our site, and giving good advice on what to do in the water. I look forward to going again. I really like that it is rugged, without big campers (no offense) and with few...

Back forty years ago, I and a fishing buddy came up from Connecticut and stayed at these campgrounds. We found the week we stayed to be a Senic Paradise akin to Heavenly Bliss. Not only was the fishing supperb and camping delightful, but now all these years later and I'm reading people's responses are just as strong and thier delight is still obvious. YES. I've been back there two more times over the years but now I've grown alittle too old. But I can't tell you how good it feels to know Mollidgewock is still the pristine, beautiful experience that it was then. Many thanks to the woman in charge, if I'm not mistaken she's related to the renouned Forefather of 13mile Woods who ran things back then - "Ed (moose) Damp" . From the sounds of it she's tracking Moose's path just great. A big Heart Felt congrates and Kudos for all you do mam' . Moose is smiling...
