About
Ore Hill Tentsite occupies the former location of Ore Hill Shelter, which burned down in 2011. Located in the Pemigewasset Ranger District near Warren, New Hampshire, this backcountry site offers a rustic camping experience in White Mountain National Forest. The site features two primitive tent pads and a central fire ring situated where the shelter once stood. A privy provides basic sanitation facilities. Water can be found 250 feet south of the site via a side trail, but this is a backcountry water source and must be treated before drinking. As a dispersed backcountry site, Ore Hill Tentsite requires no reservations or fees. Campers should arrive prepared with their own drinking water or water treatment capability, and follow Leave No Trace principles including packing out all trash.
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.
