Location
  
1/2 mi. from park entrance, 160 yds. S of Allenstown--Deerfield Rd., Bear Brook State Park, Allenstown, New Hampshire

The Bear Brook State Park Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp Historic District is the only surviving Civilian Conservation Corps work camp in New Hampshire. Located in Bear Brook State Park, in Allenstown, the camp's facilities have been adaptively reused to provide space for park administration and a small museum. It is located in the northwestern portion of the park, south of Deerfield Road. It is also believed to be one of the few relatively intact CCC camps in the nation.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
