Camping at Hearts Content Recreation Area

Public campground · 26 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Hearts Content Recreation Area sits about 15 miles southwest of Warren on State Route 2002, with the campground on the west side of the road and the Hearts Content Scenic Area and picnic facilities directly across. The scenic area preserves remnants of a 300 400 year-old stand of white pine, hemlock and beech, and an interpretive Old Growth Trail of roughly one mile leads through that timber; day-use facilities there pavilions, accessible toilets and interpretive materials are universally accessible.

How far ahead to book Hearts Content Recreation Area

For May weekends, book about 123 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 49 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,423 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
