Peaceful and quiet dispersed camping spot. Large enough for 2-3 vehicles or one large rig/RV.
Very few vehicles pass, some days none. Two fire rings set up: a large one and a small cooking one.

Quaint dispersed camping spot

A LOT of bugs due to dense wooded surroundings. The bugs seems to be unbothered by the bug spray as well. A few miles down the road there is another campsite that is more open and also has a fire pit with a lot less bugs flying around and more open space. 

Nice wooded little campsite

At least a dozen spots, some very spacious.  Only crashed for 1 night but will be coming back to spend a few, this area was excellent!

Great spot

Large open site just off of Forest Road 273

Green Mountain National Forest

The entrance to the road had a sign that said “road closed ahead”. We chanced it and was able to find a really nice open spot right before the road closure. Was a great spot!

Nice Spot

Went on a Wednesday night late October and had to drive about 4 miles down the dirt road to find a suitable spot. After what was very quiet and a peaceful place to be. Many pull offs but a lot were too wet for my van and I was afraid of getting stuck. The road itself was in great condition though.
