Sawyer Pond Shelter & Tentsite is a backcountry campsite on Big Sawyer Pond in White Mountain National Forest featuring one shelter (sleeps 6) and 6 tent platforms, ideal for beginner backpackers with a short 1. 5-mile hike from Sawyer River Road or 4.

5 miles from Kancamagus Highway. The site offers fishing, swimming, and kayaking opportunities on the pond, with 2 pit toilets and fire rings at each platform, though water must be filtered from the pond as no potable water is available.

Note that Sawyer River Road has been closed to vehicles since December 2023, requiring hikers to park at the Route 302 gate and walk additional miles to reach the campsite.
