The Best Camping Near Granville, Vermont

Spent two nights on FR207 at one of the fields and explored the rest. This is not a place to go without at least 9" of ground clearance.  Views are spectacular, choose either sunrise or sunset and you should be able to get a site to fit your needs.

Wonderful views from these Primative sites

About 12 sites off National Forest Road 71. Beautiful area and very secluded. All have fire rings but that’s about it. Make sure to have a backup plan during the mud season and treat your skin and clothes during black fly season

NF-71

Beautiful meadow campsites overlooking the valley. Firepits and tent platforms are in place although most of the sites are drive-in. If you’re looking for a picture perfect campsite with a view this is the place for you! 

Town Highway 11 on W Hill Road

Great mountain views, some sites right on the road, some in fields and some tucked away out of view. The top end of the road has a few mud pits and may require some ground clearance from rocks

Great views with optional privacy

Wow this site was so beautiful!

  

The road into the site was scenic and beautiful. We followed the river all the way to the very end of the road up on the mountain. From there we decided on a site at the top of the mountain at the end of the long road. We quickly got rained out and went back down to one of the brookside sites. This site had great tree coverage to easily set up a tarp. It even had a premade firepit! Make sure to bring your own trash bag and water. 

  

The next morning we decided to visit the sites for this actual dispersed site on the field. There were many spots on open fields with beautiful scenic views of the mountains. If we go and stay up there again we will definitely be staying at one of these. 

  

If you're considering a spot in Vermont to camp, come here!

Also, make sure your car has a bit of clearance as some sports have dips in the ground.

Beautiful fields and views

My first time winter camping and had the entire area to myself. Beautiful sunsets, night skies and scenery. Extremely calm and peaceful. Woke up to two moose nearby the morning I was leaving

Winter camping at its finest

It’s quiet with several spots. You always hear the river or see waterfalls. The ground gets soft during mud season. 

Definitely stay here
