The Russell-Colbath Barn serves as a unique, rustic destination for travelers seeking a primitive camping experience managed by the USFS in the heart of New Hampshire. Located in the beautiful Northeast, this site offers a tranquil escape for those who prefer to disconnect and immerse themselves in the natural landscape.
