Best Dispersed Camping near North Turner, ME

24 Reviews

Dispersed camping near North Turner, Maine includes several primitive sites in the nearby White Mountain National Forest. White Mountains Camping on Little Larry Road offers free, minimalist camping opportunities on a dead-end dirt road with approximately eight well-spaced sites. Town Hall Road Dispersed in nearby New Hampshire provides additional free camping options along riverside locations. Both areas operate on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations or facilities.

Access to Little Larry Road requires navigating unpaved terrain, though most passenger vehicles can reach the sites. Town Hall Road involves traveling past residential areas until reaching National Forest land, where camping spots begin to appear. Neither location provides amenities such as drinking water, toilets, or trash service. Campers must pack out all waste and bring sufficient supplies. Fire regulations vary by season and location, with some areas permitting campfires in established rings while others enforce complete fire bans.

These primitive camping areas feature secluded, wooded environments that appeal to self-sufficient outdoor enthusiasts. Little Larry Road sites are noted for their privacy and natural setting. "The campsites are spread out so you are not on top of each other," one camper reported about Little Larry Road. Another mentioned that "even with all the other sites full" the area remains "quiet and peaceful." Town Hall Road campsites often include riverside access, with reviews noting "beautiful view of the water and even a path down to swim." Cell service is limited in both areas, with some Little Larry Road sites receiving minimal signal that improves with signal boosters. Both locations provide access to nearby hiking trails, with the Appalachian Trail accessible from certain points.

    Town Hall Road Dispersed

    SO AMAZING!!

    My first ever dispersed camping experience. So freaking amazing and unbelievable. It was pouring rain when we came to NH so we tried to wait out the rain, but it was getting dark. We followed the directions given by previous reviews. Turn onto town hall rd. and keep going past the residential area until you get to gravel road. keep going straight until you see the national forest sign. about a mile later us when campsites started popping up. the first few were full since it was 7pm but we came across one right around where the pin is dropped for this location. the cliff wasn’t too steep here (i passed up a campsite before this one bc it seemed too steep for my liking) and pretty large. beautiful view of the water and even a path down to swim. 10/10 experience and i cant wait to go back.

    Town Hall Road Dispersed

    Awesome Boondocking

    Awesome boondocking in New Hampshire, what a treat in the east coast! Just beautiful scenery, with trees, rivers, creeks, hiking trails with a pond- we absolutely loved our time here. 

    Town Hall Rd is a long road with many designated dispersed sites, all far apart from each other and all varying in levelness and size. We got lucky and snagged a perfect spot 2 miles in from the entrance sign- completely level (didn’t even need our leveling blocks) and big enough for our 26ft class c. Each site is different, but there were plenty that could fit a medium sized RV like ours. I wouldn’t recommend a giant 5th wheel or class A to come here looking for a spot. The road is dirt, but it’s hard packed and smooth, with a few dips and holes here and there. A little narrow but it’s manageable. The downside of a great road is the speeding cars and trucks- very annoying but thankfully there wasn’t much traffic in early October. I’d say more than half the sites were open when we stayed there mid-week. 

     No amenities here, just a rock fire pit to designate that it’s a spot. Please pack out your trash. Zero cell service in this whole area, but some messages popped through while we were hiking. weBoost did not help. Heavily wooded area, so it’s not so great for solar panels and probably not starlink either (we don’t have starlink so I can’t report on that).

    Town Hall Road Dispersed

    Great location!

    We loved this spot. There were plenty of sites to choose from and most (not all) had access to the river as well as a fire ring. Sites were on a dirt road, but it was quiet for the most part. Sites were also a good distance from each other so it felt pretty private. We stayed two nights and at two different sites; enjoyed both. Would love to return here in the future.

    Peaceful camping

    GPS initially took me on the wrong road - make sure you stay on Town Hall Rd no matter what the GPS says.

    After getting past the resident area you'll find a bunch of different pull outs to camp at. Really peaceful and the sites are well spread out.

    There's a hiking trail up the road if you go to the very top (I think for Mirror Lake?) otherwise you won't have anything else to see that far up.

    Town Hall Road Dispersed

    Absolutely perfect!

    We followed directions exactly as listed below. It does take about 10 minutes to reach the campsites but it’s so worth it. We passed up a couple on the left as you first drive in as they were too steep. We found our spot which had some river access and it was gorgeous. It had an above and below spot which hosted our two tents. It was clean, quiet and other campers were friendly as well. I absolutely would stay here again.

    Town Hall Rd

    The GPS will take you to Dundee Rd. These sites are actually off end of Town Hall Rd. It was very busy and most sites were taken over Memorial Day weekend.

    Bull Brook Road: Dispersed Campsite

    White Mountain Dispersed

    We arrived pretty late on June 22 and got one of the last available spots for the night. There were a number of decently spaced out sites. We drive an e150 and had no trouble getting to the site, and we saw some other vans, along with RVs and tents. Be careful of ticks! We woke up to one in our bed and had to shake everything out. It wasnt an issue in the end but you do need to be aware of them. It was a quiet and peaceful night there otherwise, even with all the other sites full.
