What it’s like
The place. Campton is a small New Hampshire town in Grafton County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Residents are older than in many places, and household incomes run well above the county's, with a smaller share of people living below the poverty line. Winters are long and cold, with a great deal of snow, and summers are pleasantly warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, restaurants and hotels, and shops. Among the largest workplaces in town are the Forest Service and Mount Prospect Academy. The typical commute is a short one by most standards, and jobs across the county have edged up slightly over the past year.
Things to do. The Mad River and the Beebe River run in or beside town, and the Baker River and Squam Lake are a short drive away. Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, a protected research forest, is also a short drive off. For a longer outing, White Mountain National Forest is a longer drive away.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Grafton County and the Lebanon, NH-VT metro.
