Downed Bridge Camp

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Waking up to forest surroundings after arriving in the dark is one way campers have described Downed Bridge Camp, a free dispersed site in Green Mountain National Forest. The main area is walk-in, with a single fire ring as the only amenity on site. Road access is straightforward, but the first pull-off fills fast on weekends. Additional primitive camping opens up roughly a mile down Fire Road 10, so arriving with daylight to scout options is worth the effort. Come with everything you need; there are no services here.

National Forest semi dispersed camping

If you're lucky enough to get the last spot on the road it's epic. Note that fills quickly on a weekend. But don't worry there is primitive camping starting about a mile down fire road 10... You don't even have to go to fire road 30. If you're looking for the ideal spot to stay a few days make sure you show in daylight so you can explore for that. But ours was a night stop on a trip so showing up in the dark and waking up in the forest was a little magical.

Odd Job Primitive Camping

Great location for a small group to camp at.  Can't wait to go back.  The main area is a walk in and is worth it.  The road into here was easy to drive.  The only thing you will find at this primitive site is a fire ring.
