Travel Directions

CAUTION: Do NOT follow MapQuest, Yahoo Maps, Google Maps or random GPS coordinates. All may get you to our campground eventually but if you are pulling something in tow, they will also lead you over one of the many covered bridges in our area that you cannot pass safely with your camper in tow or large motorhome. Our map below directs you around all covered bridges.

Ashuelot River Campground is located in West Swanzey, NH off Route 10, midway between Winchester and Keene. From Rt. 101 East or West, take Rt. 10 South and follow our signs.
