AMC Cardigan Lodge 774 Shem Valley Rd, Alexandria, NH 03222
Definitely leave your GPS on once you get close, but there are AMC signs along the route helping to point the way. The last stretch of the drive is on a dirt road. That road dead ends at the Cardigan Lodge.
Yes, there is ample parking directly in front of the lodge. If we fill all the available spaces, we can park along the side/edge of the road.
If you are staying in the lodge towels and bed linens are provided. If you are camping, you will need to bring your own gear.
Yes, if you stay at one of the campsites, you will need to bring your own gear. A lot of the sites have tent platforms.
