About
Campton Campground is one of the first National Forest campgrounds visitors encounter when driving north on Interstate 93, located just two miles from exit 28 near the southern edge of White Mountain National Forest. The campground features 58 sites scattered among a beautiful thick forest of ancient white pine and northern hardwoods that provide plenty of shade. The 30-acre Campton Pond and Mad River are nearby, offering fishing opportunities for brook trout, pickerel, brown bullhead and yellow perch. No power boats are permitted on the pond. With many kid-friendly activities nearby such as hiking and nature programs on Saturday nights in July and August, the campground is especially popular with families. Many miles of hiking and mountain biking trails are within a short drive of the campground, and the White Mountains region hosts 1,200 miles of hiking trails including 160 miles of the Appalachian Trail. The area is also home to many species of northern wildlife, including moose, white-tailed deer, black bear, and almost 200 species of birds. The campground is conveniently located just two hours from Boston and provides easy access to the White Mountains' pristine forests, clear mountain streams and rivers, and the tallest peaks in the Northeast. Families who need a break from the woods can explore miniature golf, water sports parks, train rides, gondolas, and alpine and nordic ski areas in nearby towns.
