## Overview

Located 6 miles south of Gorham, New Hampshire, at the base of New England's
tallest peak, the historic Barnes Field Campground provides a scenic and
private space for organizations, families and others to gather.  
  
The campground is one of a few in the area that remains open in winter,
providing first-come, first-served winter camping for individuals or groups.
It is adjacent to Dolly Copp Campground.  
  
Lush forests, spectacular mountain views and convenience to outdoor recreation
and scenic driving draw visitors to Barnes Field, which also provides access
to some of the most popular hikes in the White Mountains.  
  
The surrounding White Mountain National Forest encompasses nearly 800,000
acres in New Hampshire and western Maine, and is one of the most popular
forests in the country.

## Recreation

The campground is a popular spot for groups to camp, picnic and hike. It is a
hub for hikes into the Presidential and Carter-Moriah Ranges. The Daniel
Webster Scout Trail leaves from the southern end of Dolly Copp Campground into
the Great Gulf Wilderness on the northeast side of Mount Washington. Many more
miles of trails can be accessed within a short drive.  
  
Within the facility, anglers can try their luck for brook trout in the creek
and river. Families can learn more through educational programs presented at
Dolly Copp on weekends in July and August.  
  
The end of the camping season may also offer great opportunities for viewing
fall foliage, and winter brings much fun for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing
and ice climbing enthusiasts.  
  
Learn more about recreation in the national forest.

## Facilities

The campground is organized in a single loop on a field that was farmed in the
early 1900s. It features large, open sites designed for larger than normal
camping parties and large organized groups.  
  
Both standard and tent-only sites are available. The facility provides water
and restrooms; Dolly Copp Campground has additional amenities.  
  
Winter camping is first-come, first-served for camping parties of any size.
Individuals camping in winter may need to share these large sites.

## Natural Features

Barnes Field is situated in a mixed hardwood, spruce and pine forest at the
base of 6,288-ft. Mount Washington, the highest peak north of the Smoky
Mountains and east of the Mississippi River. The Peabody River and Culhane
Brook pass by the facility as well.  
  
The national forest is home to many species of northern wildlife, including
moose, white-tailed deer and black bear. Almost 200 species of birds,
including the rare Bicknell's Thrush, live in the White Mountains.  
  
Summer temperatures are often very pleasant; however mountain weather can
change drastically, putting visitors at risk for exposure to cold, rain and
snow even during summer. Winters bring bitter cold and severe weather. Campers
should come prepared.

## Nearby Attractions

Numerous hiking trails, mountain biking trails and rock climbing routes are
within a short drive of the campground. The nearby towns of North Conway,
Jackson and Gorham provide shops, restaurants, supplies and other

## Overview

Black Mountain Backcountry Cabin was built in the 1930s by the Civilian
Conservation Corps and sits on what was once pasture land. The cabin was

guests enjoy today. The Black Mountain Ski Trail is used to hike or ski to the
cabin, depending on the season. The 1.4-mile trail starts at an elevation of
1,250 feet, and the cabin sits at an elevation of 2,450 feet. Guests should be
prepared to transport all their gear and supplies on foot.

## Recreation

sources should be treated or boiled, but it is recommended that guests bring

include matches, food, cooking utensils, trash bags, toilet paper, a camp
stove, first aid kit, flashlight or lantern, extra batteries, firewood and/or
a cutting tool for dead and down wood.

to be almost the same as the outside, even when the wood stove is in use (more
details on the cabin).

## Natural Features
