About
Bear Brook State Park encompasses over 10,000 acres of forests, wetlands, and ponds in southeastern New Hampshire, making it the largest developed state park in the state. The Beaver Pond Campground offers 101 sites accommodating both tent and RV campers, though no hookups are available. Sites vary in size with maximum equipment lengths up to 38 feet. The campground features pit toilets, coin-operated showers, a dump station, and a camp store selling firewood and supplies. Beyond camping, visitors can enjoy swimming at the beach, rent canoes, and explore an extensive trail network spanning over 40 miles. Trails accommodate hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders, with terrain ranging from easy lakeside paths to more challenging woodland routes.
