About This Location

Experience rustic history at the Black Mountain Cabin in New Hampshire. This historic, primitive USFS site offers scenic views and year-round adventure.

Steeped in history, the Black Mountain Cabin offers a unique opportunity to stay in a structure originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Perched at an elevation of 2,461 feet, the site is surrounded by cleared pasture land that provides guests with stunning, expansive mountain views. Whether you are visiting to hike the Black Mountain Ski Trail in the summer or traverse the snow-covered slopes in the winter, the cabin serves as a perfect basecamp for those looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Northeast.

This is a primitive, off-the-grid experience managed by the USFS. Amenities are intentionally minimal, consisting of vault toilets and available firewood to keep the rustic atmosphere of the original renovation intact. Because there are no hookups or modern facility conveniences, visitors should be prepared for a true backcountry adventure.

This site is best suited for outdoor enthusiasts, backcountry campers, and those who appreciate historic charm over modern amenities. It is an ideal getaway for hikers and winter sports lovers who are comfortable with a more self-sufficient, primitive style of camping.
