Not far from Pine Knoll on the New Hampshire-Maine border, the Glen Ellis campground provides an experience for those who love the outdoors, but may want to bring a piece of home along with them.

Act now, though – the campsite will be closing on October 14. When the kids aren’t having the time to their lives exploring the area and participating in activities in the Game Barn, consider taking a short side trip to the area’s local attraction, Story Land, open until the first week of October.
