The NFR 273 Dispersed Camping Spot provides peaceful woodland camping with multiple sites suitable for tents and small RVs.
These primitive camping areas offer no amenities. Campers must pack in all water and pack out all trash. Most sites include established fire rings, but no toilets, picnic tables, or drinking water are available. Vehicle clearance requirements vary by location; several campers noted that NFR 83 riverside sites require "at least 8 inches of clearance" and feature "rough" access roads with "bigger rocks." Somerset Airfield provides more accessible camping with pit toilets but less privacy, described by one visitor as "just a grass strip next to FR71 with a bunch of sites."
Weather conditions significantly impact site accessibility. Many locations become extremely muddy after rain, potentially stranding vehicles without adequate clearance or 4WD capabilities. Winter camping is possible but challenging, with temperatures dropping well below freezing. Campers should verify land status before setting up, as some areas marked as dispersed camping may actually be private property. The Somerset Vt Dispersed area on the Deerfield River has "no camping signs all along road" according to recent reports. Cell service is spotty throughout the region, with limited coverage at most sites. The Connecticut River Farm Site offers the closest primitive camping to Millers Falls itself.
