Lodging

PorcFest will be based at Gunstock Mountain Resort and Campground but for those that would prefer a room, a list of nearby hotels is provided.

Please reserve your campsite or hotel ASAP as they will sell out for the weekend of the 13th due to PorcFest's overlap with Laconia Bike Week. Campsites and hotel rooms are still available, but are no longer being held. To reserve a hotel, contact the hotels listed below directly. To reserve a campsite, call Gunstock at (603) 293-4341 x155 and tell them you would like to reserve one of the PorcFest campsites.

If you are not staying at the campground, you will need to purchase a pass in order to visit the campground area (the main/public events do not require a pass). Day-passes are $5/day and night-passes are $6/day.

Want to discuss lodging and room sharing with fellow attendees? Post to the PorcFest Lodging Forum.

The campground map with our designated (but no longer reserved) sites encircled can be seen here. Say you are with PorcFest to get one.

Gunstock's general campground (and pet) policies are listed here . Starting on the weekend however, due to Bike Week, a similar but different set of policies will be in place . The main differences are:
  • only registered campers are allowed in the campground, i.e. no guests or guest passes (PorcFest events will be in the non-campground public areas though)
  • pets will not be allowed in the campground after Sunday the 15th (the last day of PorcFest)
  • Everyone staying in the campground is required to sign a Gunstock waiver and provide Gunstock with their name, address, phone number and vehicle registration information.
  • Access to the campground changes from using gate keys to having a security checkpoint verifying entrants are registered campers and wearing the wristband that is provided at check-in.
