About this campground
Rocky Branch Shelter sleeps 6-8, with a fire ring, toilet, and 3 tent platforms for tenting. The shelter sits along the Rocky Branch River just outside of the Presidential-Dry River Wilderness. The Rocky Branch Trail is now open all the way through. It re-opened in September 2015, 4 years after closure due to damage sustained during Tropical Storm Irene.
Getting there
The south end of the Rocky Branch Trail, which starts at the terminus of the Jericho Road one mile west of the junction of Rts 302 and 16 in Glen, is the quickest access to the Rocky Branch Shelter #1 as it is only 2 miles from the trailhead.
