About this campground
Built and maintained by the Dartmouth Outing Club, the Trapper John Shelter is located 1.1 miles from Dorchester Road via Holts Ledge Trail (Appalachian Trail)

Reviews
This backcountry shelter along the Appalachian Trail in New Hampshire offers a basic and functional stop for hikers, accommodating 6-8 people comfortably. While it provides essential privacy and protection from the elements, the site lacks significant views or attractions, and the water source was dry during one visitor's stay. With limited tenting spots and basic amenities, it serves well for a night but may not be ideal for those seeking a destination experience.
