Rumney Rattlesnake Campground
The AAC Rumney Rattlesnake Campground sits on a 15-acre parcel right off the Baker River and within walking distance of popular crags at Rumney Rocks. It’s a great escape from the city and the quickest approach in the area. The campground is communal, and campers may set up their tents wherever they feel most comfortable. We have 16 communal fire rings and picnic tables for guests to share. Additionally, you’ll find bunks for rent in the house which also comes with a communal kitchen, bathroom, and living room. Wi-Fi and outlets are in both the house and the barn.
Members will find the member promo code and book directly through Profile. AAC Members at the partner level and above receive lodging discounts.
The Rumney Rattlesnake Campground is powered by The North Face.
