Reservations
Regional Parking Passes Required for National Forest Access
Conway is the gateway to the White Mountain National Forest; while town entry is free, specific sites like Diana's Baths require a daily recreation pass or an Interagency pass displayed in your vehicle. Private glamping and lodge bookings are independent of forest access and should be secured months in advance for autumn. Always verify the latest fee stations and pass requirements with the U.S. Forest Service before arrival.
