Quick Overview
New Hampshire has several RV dump stations packed into a state that's barely 9,300 square miles but draws enormous RV traffic thanks to the White Mountains, Lakes Region, and some of the best fall foliage in the country. With some free sanitary dump station options, the state's sani-dump network relies heavily on private campgrounds and state park facilities.
The White Mountains are the main event for New Hampshire RVing. Franconia Notch, Crawford Notch, and the Kancamagus Highway corridor attract RVers from across the Northeast, and campgrounds along these routes maintain dump stations that see heavy seasonal use. State parks like Franconia Notch, Crawford Notch, and Dry River have campground dump facilities. Private parks in Lincoln, North Woodstock, and Conway fill in the gaps.
The Lakes Region around Winnipesaukee, Squam Lake, and Newfound Lake is New Hampshire's second-biggest RV draw. Summer brings families to lakefront campgrounds, and dump stations in the Laconia, Meredith, and Wolfeboro areas handle steady traffic from June through Labor Day. The Weirs Beach area is particularly popular for RV tourists.
I-93 is the main north-south RV corridor, running from the Massachusetts border through Concord and up through Franconia Notch to the Canadian border. Dump stations line this route at exits near Concord, Plymouth, and Lincoln. I-89 runs northwest from Concord to the Vermont border near Hanover. Route 16 parallels the eastern edge of the White Mountains from Conway to Gorham.
New Hampshire's seacoast is just 18 miles long, but Hampton Beach and the surrounding area draw seasonal RV crowds. Campgrounds along Route 1 and Route 1A have dump stations, though the short coastline means options are limited compared to the mountains and lakes.
Municipal dump stations are uncommon in New Hampshire. The state's dump network is primarily private campgrounds supplemented by state park facilities. Most operate seasonally from May through mid-October, with very few options available during winter months. If you're visiting during the off-season, confirm dump station availability before you arrive.

Getting Around New Hampshire by RV
I-93 is New Hampshire's primary RV highway, running north-south from the Massachusetts border through Concord and Franconia Notch to Littleton. The Franconia Notch section narrows to two lanes (one each direction) -- it's the only place on the entire Interstate Highway System that drops to a single lane each way. RVs handle it fine, but expect slower traffic during peak foliage.
The Kancamagus Highway (Route 112) is one of New England's most scenic drives, crossing the White Mountains from Lincoln to Conway. It's open to RVs but has steep grades (up to 9%) and tight switchbacks near the summit at Kancamagus Pass (2,855 feet). Not recommended for rigs over 35 feet. No services or fuel on the 34-mile stretch.
Route 16 through Pinkham Notch connects Conway to Gorham and is the access route for Mount Washington. The Mount Washington Auto Road is open to vehicles but not recommended for RVs or trailers. Route 302 through Crawford Notch is another scenic corridor with moderate grades suitable for most RV sizes.
New Hampshire has no state income or sales tax, which means diesel and propane purchases save you money compared to neighboring states. Fuel up in New Hampshire if you're crossing into Vermont or Maine.

Explore New Hampshire
Fall foliage season (late September through mid-October) is New Hampshire's busiest time for RV travel. Campgrounds along the Kancamagus Highway and in Franconia Notch book up months in advance. If you can't get a campsite, day-trip the foliage from a campground in Plymouth or Lincoln and dump at your base camp.
The White Mountain National Forest charges a $5 per vehicle day-use fee (or $30 annual pass) at trailhead parking areas. This doesn't always include dump station access -- campground-specific fees apply separately. Forest Service campgrounds in the White Mountains are basic but well-located.
New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain collapsed in 2003, but Franconia Notch State Park remains a top RV destination. The park's campground dump station is centrally located for exploring the Notch, the Flume Gorge, and the Cannon Mountain tramway.
Black flies and mosquitoes are fierce in New Hampshire from late May through June, especially in the mountains and near water. Bring serious bug protection for any dump station visit during this period -- standing at a dump station on a calm June evening near a lake is a recipe for getting eaten alive.
