About this campground

This remote camping haven rewards hardy hikers with a true wilderness escape, far from the crowds and deep in the heart of mountain solitude.

Natural Features and SceneryEmbraced by the untamed beauty of the Southern Mahoosuc Range, this tentsite immerses you in a landscape where ancient granite peaks pierce the sky and dense forests cascade down rugged mountainsides. The surrounding wilderness showcases nature's raw artistry—weathered rock formations sculpted by millennia of wind and ice, carpets of moss-covered boulders, and a rich tapestry of mountain flora that changes with the seasons. Here, the forest whispers with the sounds of wildlife, and the rocky terrain tells the geological story of these ancient mountains.
