$20 weekend
$27 holiday weekend
LOCATION:
Tripoli Road, Exit 31 off I-93.
NARRATIVE:
The Tripoli Road Dispersed Camping Area offers a rustic,
roadside,camping experience with no amenities. There are no formally
developed sites, no potable water sources, and no fire rings or
restroom facilities.
Campground permits available. To monitor the number of roadside
campers and to protect this popular place from resource damage,
a concessionaire manages the area. The concessionaire sells Tripoli
Road camping permits and dispenses information on area regulations.
Fees are applied per vehicle, and vary depending on whether it is
a weekday, weekend, or holiday period. A percentage of the concessionaire's
receipts are returned to the Forest Service to help defray the rehabilitation
and law enforcement costs.
A limited number of permits are issued from Memorial Day through
Columbus Day at the concessionaire booth on Tripoli Road near the
Russell Pond Campground Road. The area covered by the permit system
includes Tripoli Road from the junction of Russell Pond Campground
Road to Osceola Vista Campground and all adjacent, ungated spur
roads and parking lots. Dispersed Camping Permits are required between
10:00 PM and 6:00 AM and are not valid in "Forest Protection
Areas" where parking is prohibited.
FEE PILOT AREA:
Unattended vehicles parked in a designated US Fee Area
need to display a White Mountain National Forest parking pass. For
example if you park in a trail head parking lot to go hiking, a
parking pass is necessary. You may obtain a pass at a Forest Service
office, from numerous local vendors, or by mail. Ask the Tripoli
Road concessionaire any questions you may have about the parking
pass.
