This is a Great Primitive location
Just outside of Ripton and East Middlebury this small campground is great, every site has a fire ring and there are outhouses. The surrounding forest is filled with lakes, hiking and mtn biking.
Never Disappoints !
This is our 4th visit and this year was no exception to how much we like this campground. This year they have all new pit toilets. They were very clean! Sites are generously spaced out. We went “first come, first serve” on a Weds and had no problem getting a site. There were only 3 other campers out of 19 sites. Although most said reserved, there were a lot of no shows which made the campground extremely peaceful and quiet! By Friday, it started to fill up but still very peaceful and quiet. There was no campground host which was a first but there was a park ranger that showed up to clean and stock bathrooms. We had a fabulous hike up the Moosalamoo trail and the weather was perfectly “fall” like. Can’t wait to go back! Wish they were open past Columbus Day weekend.
Moosalamoo Campground
A friend and I camped at Moosalamoo. The camp host was very helpful in pointing out the prime first come first serve sites. We chose site 12 even though it was a short walk to unload n load our gear. The site was a little more secluded than most. It is large enough for the 2 tents we set up. Plenty of recreation opportunities as well
