Directions
to the campground:
There
are no labeled signs to the campground, just a small
sign with a camping symbol on it.
Just
after the entrance to Mount Sunapee ski area you will
see the sign directing you to the first ski area parking
lot on your left. You will see another sign in the
parking lot directing you to the service road that
runs
to the
summit. Follow
this steep and winding road up about a mile and turn
left at the gate into the campground parking lot.
