Campton Falls is a traditional “block” waterfall on the Beebe River. Within a backdrop of pine and hemlock trees, Campton Falls evokes feelings of ruggedness and seclusion, all despite being only about 50 feet from the road. Catch this waterfall if you are ever in the Campton area. You should be surprised to see such a stout and powerful waterfall here, as the road is rather flat and the falls cannot be seen from the road. When you do reach the waterfall, observe the two sounds emanating from the waterfall; the crash of the block and the gurgling and splashing of the small cascades downstream.

The trail begins at the north end of the small parking area. Follow this short trail with caution, as it is slippery and narrow at times. There is also a 3-foot tall cement wall to climb down to reach the base of the falls. Be aware that the trail has greatly succumbed to erosion and access has been getting progressively more difficult over the years. If the trail erodes any further, we may consider removing this waterfall from future editions of this guide—at least until safer access becomes available.

Directions for this particular waterfall are not posted online. Please see directions in our published guidebook, New England Waterfalls: A Guide to More Than 400 Cascades And Waterfalls, or you can email us and we will happily provide them to you.
