#1 Campground in Northeast Offers Free Camping: Town Hall Rd., NH

Camping in New England can be overwhelming with the various options of State Parks, National Forests, private campgrounds, dispersed or free camping, and so on...how do you know where to go?!

There are a few sites that help make finding a campsite that is trustworthy, easy. The Dyrt, for example, is an app that has a database of campsites ranging from RV parks, to public campgrounds, free camping, and everything in between.

The Dyrt just came out with a list of the 5 best campgrounds in the Northeast Region, 2025, and the #1 campsite in the Northeast was in New Hampshire.

Town Hall Road, White Mountain National Forest, Chatham, New Hampshire

Camping on Town Hall Road in the White Mountains is pure bliss. It is one of the many free, dispersed camping areas in the White Mountains. Dispersed camping comes with many pros and equally as many cons.

Town Hall Road, in Chatham, NH, and other dispersed camping sites, are often free, have FAR less people allowing for a more private trip, and have better views of rivers without a crowd.

The downfall to a place like this is there are no amenities - no water, no bathrooms, certainly no lights and showers. So you pack in, and you MUST pack out.

Town Hall Road has 8-10 sites that are first come first serve. To learn more about the sites, and getting to them, check out the listing on The Dyrt.
