Swain Brook Campground first opened in May of 1995 in rustic Wentworth, New Hampshire. Wentworth is located in the southwest section of the White Mountains, approximately 12 miles west of I-93 and 12 miles east of I-91 (Vermont). The town is a small rural community with one general store, various historic buildings, and lots of forest space; this is perfect for campers who are looking to escape the urban scene.
Make Swain Brook Campground your home base for quiet family camping. Hike our nature trails and explore the surrounding White Mountains. Wentworth is part of the Baker River Valley, comprised of several small towns and is considered to be in the "quiet section" of New Hampshire. If you are looking to relax away from all the highway noise, our large, private sites with stone fire pits are for you. If you need a few things to start your out-door experience, visit the campground store.
Our campground is a family oriented park with quiet hours from 10:00pm to 8:00am. Campers are allowed to have a fire as late as they want, as long as they are quiet and respect the rights of others. We do have night patrols and quiet hours are strictly enforced. If you are looking to leave us a mess or want to disturb your neighbors, we suggest you try another campground before we ask you to leave.
The campground covers 417 forest acres on the south side of Sentinel Mountain and ranges from 650' in elevation to 1290'. The top of Sentinel Mountain is approximately 2200' in elevation. The lower sixty-five acre section of the park is used for tent and trailer camping with the remaining 352 acres occupied by our very own nature park. Swain Brook, the largest of five mountain brooks contained within the campground, drops 520 feet in elevation over its 1.6 mile stretch within the property. There are several cascading waterfalls, dozens of stone and gravel water holes, and potholes throughout the brook.
The nature park contains approximately 4 miles of hiking trails, mountain vistas, rest areas and much more. The park is open from 7:00am to dusk at no charge to registered campers. Other campground facilities include championship mini-golf, modern bathroom facilities with heated showers and flush toilets, a recreation building, full basketball court, horseshoe pits, tetherball, campground store (library, camping gear, ice, groceries, snacks, firewood, limited ice cream, etc.), dump station, 3-way hook-ups, basic tent sites and our large modern playground (8000 square feet).
