"There is a “campers only” access trail to Quechee Gorge that we took advantage of, which then gave us access to the Dewey Pond trail."
"This is a nice state park located near the Quechee Gorge, a lovely place to explore and play. Vermont State parks often offer lean-to options and Quechee is no exception."

"Both times were very different experiences, but overall very positive. Just because there are a few, I will mention the cons first."

"Only one of the sites is located along the brook (45), but there's an easy path down a hill. "
"Off the beaten path so its peaceful. Sites are a little small but great if you're camping with a group so your close together. Plenty of sites/types to choose from."
"While staying here I could enjoy some fishing, taking the dog for a nice walk, enjoy the evening with a nice fire, camp side, and go swimming on those hot summer days."

"I took off a star because when we came back to our campsite on Saturday afternoon, there was an ongoing loud motor noise of ATVs racing, as there is a race track nearby."
"The sites near the river are really nice, a big of a steep slope down to the river. The river is about thigh deep and you can easily walk in it/swim at potions.
The pool is small but nice. "

"I had site 1 which is near office but away from all other sites so it was very quiet. It's a large site with a nearby brook on 2 sides."
GuideWe came out here to visit dog mountain and also celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! This place was amazing! Very close to dog mountain. The river was behind our site. Perfect place to stay! We didn’t want to leave. Everyone was very nice! More like friends or family!
TravelerA little buggy but not to the point of it it affecting the stay. I went during the week and had to the place to myself apart from a neighbor a few sites down who wasn’t visible. Nice hiking trails close to long trail, really tucked away a few miles off 73. Great if you’re looking for some solitude. Would love to try the cabin on the brook next time, peaked in and it’s cute with extra privacy and private view of water.
ScoutWe've been camping here a few years now. It has everything you need without the distractions of WiFi or Cell service (which is a plus for us).
Fun large pond big enough for a nesting pair of loons. Nice for an afternoon paddle with no wake.
TravelerWe stayed on site #5 because it was flat, sunny, grassy and had a little brook. Had some passing by traffic but each site is far apart from each other.
TravelerLoved this place! Small store with local goods and basic needs, gated entry, wooded camping areas, small cabins, Camper Vans, you name it and it was there. I personally stayed at a tent site that was right next to the perfect view of the river with a beach area and fire ring. Potable water throughout. I'd absolutely return!
GuideBetween the beach, the mini golf, playground, and an entire shed of recreation items available to use this place is amazing! Activities are scheduled throughout the season
GuideRentals of canoes and kayaks were helpful. Swimming is available at sunapee unless you like leaches. Fishing friendly and quiet campground
GuideCan’t say enough good things about this place. It is a private landowners land, and she has various camping options including a cabin, hives, or open locations for rv or tent camping. We stayed for a long weekend with friends in a separate rv, and then a friend who rented a hive. The land is 8 acres, and you feel a sense of privacy and serenity. You hear roosters in the morning from a local farm. The views are vast, and it’s relaxing.
Logistically, there is a good place for rv parking below the garden hoop house. It is a flat long gravel area, which can access power, but you’ll need an extension chord or two to reach it. The hives are set back from this area and behind other gardens, near a water source. There is a cabin in the middle of the property, and then additional rv or tent camping in another area above the main house, which also has an electric hookup. Each area is far enough away from the others that you feel a sense of privacy and serenity.
There is a common area building on the property with Wi-Fi, a bathroom and a kitchen area, which seemed to be used mostly for making tea or accessing the kitchen sink for water. I am not sure if you could use it for cooking - you would need to ask the landowner. It has a small sitting area with tourism/hiking/sightseeing guides and maps. We used it to check email and make phone calls, as cell access is spotty in this general area of Vermont and we didn’t have a cell signal by our rv. You can shower and use the toilet. I would recommend bringing your own soap and shampoo.
There are a few fire pit areas on the property, and the land owner will show you where you can find wood in the surrounding woods. The gardens are full of flowers and vegetables. There is also a sauna and a yoga room, neither of which we used.
It truly is a magical environment. You are a few minutes away from Cabot, which is very small. The area is a hiking and gravel biking hot bed. The “Ride the Ridges” gravel ride passes the property, so you can do the course from there. There are numerous hikes of all distances and difficulty in this area of Vermont.
TravelerLarge basic cabin that is real rustic.
