NARRATIVE:
Dolly Copp is one of the largest campground in the entire
National Forest System. One any night over 1000 people my be camping
at Dolly Copp! Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire ring
with a grate. Toilets, drinking water and trash recycling containers
are a short walk from the sites. In order to maintain a rustic atmosphere,
Dolly Copp does not have any hookups, dump stations, or showers.
The Appalachian Mountain Club's (AMC) Pinkham Notch Visitor Center
(approximately 5 miles south of Dolly Copp) offers coin operated
showers.
During
the peak season, several sites can be reserved through the US National
Forest Reservation Center. The rest of the sites are available on
a first-come, first serve basis.
TIPS:
While you are visiting Dolly Copp you may encounter the American
Black Bear, Ursus Americanus.
DO NOT FEED BEARS! Bears eating human food
lead to human-bear conflicts which may result in the death of the
bear and injury to humans. Wild bears are shy and prefer to stay
away from people but FOOD ODORS ATTRACT BEARS.
Keep
all food stored in vehicles, never in your tent. Dispose of garbage
promptly in nearby campground dumpster's. Never dump, burn or scatter
food near your campsite or in the woods. Never leave food outdoors
for wildlife or pets.
