Official Forest Service pageCarp River Campground
Carp River Campground has 20 wooded campsites in a quiet, rustic setting adjacent to the Carp Wild and Scenic River. You can camp, fish, hike, canoe, kayak, or just enjoy a back to basics, rustic camping experience to "get away from it all." Each site has a table and a fire ring. Water pumps and vault toilets are conveniently spaced throughout the campground. If you plan to fish the Carp River, you may catch brook, brown and rainbow trout. Access the Carp River using one of the stair sets constructed along the riverbank. Printable map .
