It seems like there are as many ways to camp in the White Mountain National Forest as there are 4,000-foot peaks. For more gregarious types, the warmer months find AMC huts offering just about everything but room service to between 36 and 90 guests, depending on the hut. Developed campgrounds maintained by the USFS give car campers a place to park, while trailside lean-tos and cabins let weary hikers have at least three walls to call home for the night. Hut Developed Campgrounds Developed campgrounds are located throughout the National Forest. You will find tent pads, picnic tables, fire rings or fireplaces, toilets, and running water.
All campgrounds provide basic services, though none offer hookups.
Daily fees at campgrounds help cover operations and maintenance costs. Signs at campground entrances identify charge areas and amounts. Some are open all year. Call ahead to get specific dates. For current overnight rates and dates of operation, see the White Mountain National Forest campground descriptions provided by the U.S. National Forest Campground Guide .
