Franconia Basecamp

My favorite place in the Whites for used gear! Have gotten everything from used ice skates, vintage 80s ski outfit, and Patagonia R1 mid layer. Also great staff, knowledgeable on the local area with recommendations for all things outdoors. Definitely recommend stopping to check out what you might find!

We rented e bikes here. Great service and super fun experience.

Rented a bike here. Staff was experienced and gave great insight on what route I should ride.

This shop is such a gem for sports and outdoors enthusiasts and eco-responsible folks alike. Where else can you check off items from your shopping list AND drop off gently-used items that you no longer need? Nowhere, that’s where! This cozy little store is packed full of great year-round camping and hiking gear (including kid’s stuff), clothing, and often specialty items including things that are difficult to find elsewhere (such as used cross country skis and the amazing no-longer-made Hot Chilly’s onesie I picked up the last time I was in there). They also sell great last-minute items for your next hiking trek, like Goodr sunglasses, maps, and snacks. Want to try camping but don’t want to spend a ton on new items? Look no further!! They have tons of gently-used camping gear. You can also get your skis or bikes tuned, get great area information on best spots to explore, and rent e-bikes. (Side note: You will find it hard to not want to purchase one.) Enjoy!!

We rented two e-bikes, biked uphill to the Franconia notch bike path (without breaking a sweat!) and had a fantastic ride, up and down, all through the notch. What a great experience — SO glad this place opened!

Really awesome selection of nice used outdoor equipment and clothing, as well as new basics for hiking and a unique offering of local books. Definitely planning to get my future ski equipment here.

Best prices on used gear this side of My Washio!

I really enjoyed shopping here.. it's a very interesting store with a little bit of everything outdoorsy... Awesome staff..

First time in the shop. They had a good selection of the essentials. Will definitely go back.

Great shop. Love that there is a consignment store this side of the Whites!

Found some great quality at great prices on used winter clothing.
