Camp Penacook Campground

Camp Penacook Shelter is a 3-sided backcountry shelter located on the southeast side of Mt. Chocorua, approximately 1. 5 miles from the summit via the Piper Trail, accommodating 6-8 people with one small earthen tent pad below.

The shelter features a pit toilet nearby and offers access to scenic granite slab overlooks to the east, though potable water is not available on-site.

This is a hiking-focused backcountry shelter rather than a developed campground with vehicle access or water amenities.
