Timberland Campground

Due to its small population and remote location, you won’t find many local attractions when you camp in an RV near Shelburne. Fortunately, you won’t be far from the much larger communities of Berlin and Gorham, which have considerably more attractions to speak of; one of the nearest gas stations to Shelburne is also located in Gorham. Berlin is home to St. Anne’s Church, a century-old Catholic church with ornate fixtures inside and out. It was built by French-Canadian immigrants who wanted to add a touch of European beauty to the industrial look of this northern mill town. It’s right in the center of town and well worth a visit when you’re camping with an RV in the area. Just a little way down the road is Gorham, the gateway to the Mount Washington recreation region. If you have a small RV rental or a separate vehicle, you should definitely make the trip up the Mount Washington Auto Road. It’s incredibly steep, with an average grade of 12%, so it’s not a good option for larger vehicles or for those with questionable brakes. You can also hitch a ride with one of the mountain’s guided tours; with their eyes on the road, you’ll have more time for taking photos of the mountain's spectacular views. Train enthusiasts will also enjoy a trip to the Gorham Historical Society and Railroad Museum. The main exhibit is a model railroad located inside an actual boxcar, but there’s also a locomotive that’s been converted into a picture gallery and movie theater. The attached historical society museum tells the story of how the railroad shaped the Great North Woods region and connected coastal cities like Boston and Portland to the resources of northern New Hampshire and Montreal in Canada.
