RV rental Bear Brook State Park, NH: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

The state of New Hampshire began buying land in the southeastern corner of the state in the early 1900s with the intent of preserving the region. The park remained undeveloped until the early 1930s when President Roosevelt began the now-famous New Deal program, in which unemployed young adults were put to work across the country. Called Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), a cadre of New Hampshire residents built several outbuildings and structures in what would later become Bear Brook State Park and blazed several miles of trails.

Today, Bear Brook State Park is also the site of three museums: the Richard Diehl Civilian Corps Museums, which details some of the work they did in the state as well as displays photographs of the organization, Old Allenstown Meeting Houses, which was constructed in the early 1800s, and New Hampshire Antique Snowmobile Museum, which has on display several snowmobiles and snow machines.
