In 2003, the Monadnock State Park Master Plan for Capital Improvements and Management Strategies was adopted by the Division. The capital improvement strategy for the park envisions three phases. Phase I is the development of a family campground at the Gilson Pond Area. The new campground will have 35 new campsites and a campground bath house and administration building. It is expected to open in the spring of 2010.

The Gilson Pond Area is closed to all public access until further notice due to construction. Please check back here before planning a visit to the Gilson Pond Area. Updates will be posted.

Visitors to Monadnock State Park are asked to use other hiking and cross country skiing opportunities than those that originate from the Gilson Pond Area.   The Monadnock State Park Headquarters area is open year-round.

Unidentified construction hazards and unsigned relocation of roads and trails may be present which could create difficulties and safety concerns.
