About this experience

Please read this full description before booking.

Important Booking Notice: All camping reservations require the purchase of a Trail Pass. Camping may not be booked as a standalone item. If you are reserving the Overlook Camping Site, you must also add the appropriate Trail Access Pass for your visit.

The Overlook Camping Site is one of the most popular camping areas at Three Ridges Events, offering a scenic and memorable setting with sweeping views of the Connecticut River and the rare opportunity to look out across three states — New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. This site combines natural beauty, a peaceful atmosphere, and convenient access, making it a favorite for guests who want a scenic camping experience without giving up comfort.

Set in a quiet and remote-feeling area of the park, the Overlook gives guests plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the surroundings. Whether you want to relax near the edge and take in the long-distance views, gather with friends around the common area, or set up in a more private corner tucked back from the overlook, this site offers flexibility for different camping styles and group preferences.

This site is easy to access and well suited for guests who want a more relaxed camping experience while still staying immersed in the unique setting of the park. The Overlook is a great choice for groups, returning guests, and anyone who wants to enjoy a quieter evening with scenic views as the backdrop.

The Overlook Camping Site includes several amenities that help make it one of the most inviting camping options on the property. Guests have access to a bathroom, grilling area, and a common fire pit with log seating, creating a comfortable shared space for meals, conversation, and winding down after a day on the trails. It is an especially fitting place to end the day with a sunset around the fire pit, surrounded by old friends and new ones.

What makes the Overlook special is the combination of easy access, quiet surroundings, and unforgettable views. It offers a scenic destination feel while still being practical and welcoming, making it one of the best options for guests looking to enjoy the social side of camp along with the beauty of the mountain.
