Jericho Gateway Family Campground

Jericho Gateway Family Campground in Berlin, New Hampshire, is a family-operated retreat sprawling across 300 acres in the White Mountains — a home-away-from-home campground in Coos County at the northern gateway to the White Mountain National Forest, where the Androscoggin River's fishing and whitewater, the Mahoosuc Range's challenging hiking, and the Dixville Notch's dramatic mountain pass give guests the northernmost and most remote White Mountain outdoor recreation access in New Hampshire's most expansive unincorporated wilderness territory. Berlin's Coos County position on NH-16 at the confluence of the Dead and Androscoggin Rivers, 20 miles south of the Canadian border, gives the campground the specific northern New Hampshire character of a city and campground at the edge of the Great North Woods — the largest unbroken forest in the northeastern United States. Three hundred wooded acres of family-operated campground with the complete White Mountains camping infrastructure give Jericho Gateway the expansive retreat character that 300 acres specifically enables — the woodland space between sites, the family programming, and the northern New Hampshire forest setting give the campground the home-away-from-home atmosphere of a resort property whose family management and the 300-acre woodland give guests the privacy and the natural immersion that the more densely developed southern White Mountain campgrounds cannot provide at the same scale. Pets are welcome. The Androscoggin River, flowing through Berlin in a broad valley between the Mahoosuc and Pilot Ranges, is one of New Hampshire's premier wild brook trout and landlocked Atlantic salmon rivers — a river whose Mollidgewock State Park stretch north of Errol and the Thirteen Mile Woods scenic corridor on NH-16 between Berlin and Errol give the Androscoggin the specific Coos County wild river character of a northern New Hampshire stream that the moose population in the river's wetland oxbows, the osprey nesting on the river's dead snags, and the landlocked salmon's upstream migration give their specific wildlife observation identity. Dixville Notch State Park, 35 miles north of Berlin on NH-26 in Coos County, preserves the dramatic mountain pass between the Dixville and Gloriette Peaks in the Tillotson Range — a narrow mountain notch of sheer cliff walls and the Flume Brook's gorge that gives New Hampshire's northernmost state park the geological drama of a passes trail that the AT-connected ridge hike specifically requires in the most remote section of New Hampshire's mountain landscape. The Balsams Grand Resort's 1917 wood-frame hotel at Dixville Notch, recently reopened after renovation, gives the northern Coos County visitor the specific grand resort hotel tradition of the White Mountains' era of railway resort tourism. Jericho Gateway Family Campground serves guests through Coos County's White Mountains camping season from late May through October, with the summer hiking season in the Mahoosuc Range from June through September — the Mahoosuc Notch, rated the most challenging mile on the entire 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail by the majority of AT thru-hikers, gives the Berlin campground its most significant trail access for the serious hiking market. The fall foliage season in the Androscoggin River valley from late September through mid-October gives the northern White Mountains their most photographically spectacular landscape display in the maple, beech, and birch hardwood forest that the Coos County river valley sustains. Reserve sites ahead for the fall foliage season and the summer White Mountains hiking peak.
