About
Ore Hill Tent Site is a primitive backcountry camping destination located in the White Mountain National Forest near Warren, New Hampshire. The site originally featured a shelter, but it was destroyed by arsonists in fall 2011. Today, the site offers two primitive tent pads for backpackers seeking a backcountry experience. The tent site includes basic amenities: a privy on-site and a water source located approximately 250 feet south of the main site on a side trail. As a backcountry site, campers should be prepared for primitive conditions and follow Leave No Trace principles. The site is free and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Ore Hill Tent Site is accessible year-round for experienced backpackers, though winter conditions in the White Mountains can be severe. Standard White Mountain National Forest regulations apply, including restrictions on camping within a quarter-mile of trailheads and developed sites, and no camping above treeline except on adequate snow cover.
Directions
Access the Ore Hill Tent Site via the Appalachian Trail. From NH Route 25C, head southbound on the white-blazed trail, passing the summit of Ore Hill. The tent site is located along this route.
