Deer Mountain Campground

What sets Deer Mountain Campground apart is its unparalleled seclusion in the northern reaches of New Hampshire, surrounded by the dense Connecticut Lakes State Forest and perched near the Canadian border. With only 25 primitive sites, this campground promises a quiet, immersive escape into nature, offering proximity to the famed Moose Alley and exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities.

Situated along the Connecticut River between Second and Third Connecticut Lakes, Deer Mountain Campground is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Each campsite is designed with essentials like a picnic table, fireplace, and tent area, blending simplicity with functionality. The area boasts direct access to activities like hiking the scenic Cohos Trail, fishing in pristine waters, and unparalleled stargazing due to minimal light pollution. While there are no electric hookups or showers, the preserved rustic charm makes this an excellent base for those seeking a truly authentic north country experience.

Located off U.S. Route 3, the campground is just 13 miles from Lake Francis, 5 minutes south of the Canadian border, and within 30 minutes of iconic outdoor spots. In this remote pocket of Pittsburg, New Hampshire, the surrounding wilderness and the proximity to Moose Alley offer an unparalleled opportunity for moose watching and connecting with the region’s untamed beauty.
