Doublehead Cabin

Doublehead Cabin offers a truly unique backcountry experience in the heart of the White Mountains. Originally constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps as a ski warming hut, the cabin provides a rustic connection to history. Perched at an elevation of 3,045 feet, this site is ideal for adventurers looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Northeast wilderness.

Access to this remote destination is part of the adventure, requiring a 1.8-mile hike, snowshoe, or ski trek along the historic Doublehead Ski Trail. Because the cabin is situated at a significant elevation gain of 1,500 feet, it is best suited for experienced hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who are prepared to carry their own gear and supplies. The site provides a primitive experience, featuring limited amenities including access to nearby hiking trails and firewood.

Whether you are looking for a challenging backcountry excursion or a quiet winter retreat, this USFS-managed site offers an unforgettable stay. Please note that this is a primitive federal campground with no hookups available, making it best for those comfortable with backcountry living and self-sufficient camping.
