What to do

River activities: Baker Rocks campground offers direct access to the Baker River with a small beach area. According to a reviewer, "Along another bend of the river were two chairs for taking in the scenery. I only caught a few minnows when fishing but that may have been more to do with the angler."

Gorge exploration: Quechee State Park Campground provides a campers-only access trail to Quechee Gorge. "There is a short trail from the visitor center to the bottom of the gorge, and on fall weekends it's super crowded. The park is close to good shopping, and also the Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park in Woodstock, which is an awesome destination for families."

Seasonal events: Summer and fall weekends often feature special activities at campgrounds. "They had a Themed Weekend (Fri/Sat) so they had a few family friendly events. Daily activities are not scheduled," notes one camper about Moose Hillock Camping Resort. Some campgrounds organize community gatherings: "This year the campground organized a bonfire and Celtic music concert with a band that has stayed there many times before!"

What campers like

Private wooded sites: Many cabins in the Enfield area are situated on secluded, wooded lots. A visitor to Baker Rocks noted: "The tent sites are within the wooded area around the property and felt very secluded. There was a bit of road noise overnight."

Pool amenities: Several campgrounds with cabin rentals feature swimming pools as their main attraction. "The pool is the main attraction and really great but gets very very busy. No one was controlling the slides so kids were going down in multiples and not making sure no one was at the bottom."

Clean facilities: Bathhouse cleanliness varies between properties but is frequently mentioned in reviews. One camper at Lost River Valley Campground shared: "We've stayed here many times over many years. Some stays have been in a tent, some in a one-room cabin. No matter which we choose, it's been clean and comfortable! The bathrooms are always clean."

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Many cabins near Enfield have limited or no connectivity. A Pine Haven visitor reported: "We didn't have much cell service at the campground, which didn't bother us." Another noted: "No WiFi or cell service except by the pool which can be hard if you need to be contacted."

Noise considerations: Road proximity affects some properties. A camper at Quechee State Park observed: "Camping was fairly quiet, except for the noise from the road, which is very close to the park." Another visitor mentioned: "Some sites (my site) rite next to a busy road (noisy) & too close together."

Reservation requirements: Advance booking is essential for cabin rentals, particularly at Quechee-Pine Valley KOA. "From the second we pulled into this campground we were greeted with 5 star service and friendly staff. A woman met us at my truck and checked us in and we were then guided to our site by a gentleman in a light utility vehicle who then marshaled us into our spot."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly programming: Some campgrounds offer structured activities for children. At Quechee State Park, "Rangers also run fun programs for children- my children churned butter and made popcorn over the campfire one night, and made tie dyed T-shirts the next (for no fee.)"

Playground access: Consider the location of play areas when booking a cabin with children. One reviewer cautioned: "The playground is across this busy road which I find very dangerous IMO."

Swimming options: For families visiting in summer, Pine Haven provides water recreation possibilities. "The pool is small but nice. The fire places are really nice with a cooking grate on top. The night sky is lovely to look at in the middle of the field they have."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Some cabins and RV sites require adjustment. "Some of the sites were not really level. If you are a mask-wearer, then you might be put off by the lack of masks being worn by both staff & other campers."

Utility connections: When choosing between cabins and RV camping, note the hookup options. A visitor to Quechee State Park explained: "There are no hookups but they do have a dump station if you are in a RV. They also have several lean tos that you can rent."

Navigation considerations: Many campgrounds with cabin rentals accommodate larger vehicles despite wooded settings. "The sites are all wooded. Some are private, while others are a little crowded together. The park is dog-friendly, which we always appreciate."
