Some friends and us are planning a trip in late August to the area of the White Mountains in NH, staying at the Saco River Camping Area in Conway, NH. We will be traveling from North Central, PA. Google Maps is indicating that the shortest and fastest way to go is up I-88 from Binghamton, NY area to the Albany/Troy, NY then across Vermont Route 7 and NH Route 9 to I-93. Routes 7 and 9 are definitely not interstate style highways and it has been years since I have traveled them. (I did a couple of times 20+ years ago in a car.) As I recall they are fairly crooked, mountainous roads, and I am a little concerned about traveling them pulling my 38 feet Fifth Wheel. Problem is if I map the trip via interstate highways only, it adds more than an hour and more than 100 miles to the trip.
There's just no easy way to get there from here! Has anybody out there made this trip in more recent years? Should I go that fastest shortest way on the secondary roads or should I avoid them and stick to the interstates? Further does anybody have any recent experience at Saco River Camping Area other than what I can find online?
We surely would appreciate any help or suggestions anyone with experience with this route or area might have.
As stated on here go 84 to 90 into Mass, then 495 to near Lowell,Mass and take rt 3 north into NH..stay on 3,which is a good 4 lane divided toll road,rt 3 will put you on 293 to 93 north ...past Concord..stay on 93 north to you hit rt 112..near North Woodstock/Lincoln..take rt112 ...the Kancamagus Hwy to rt 16 north...we came over the Kancamagus last year..with our 43ft and SIL's 33 ft with no problem..it is a beautiful ride..about an hour I would say and the only road that is not an interstate in these directions....up rt 16 is maybe at best 20 minutes and you are there
