Green Mountain National Forest FR25 - Dispersed Camping

4 ReviewsAdd Review

River access draws campers to this dispersed camping area along Forest Road 25 in Green Mountain National Forest. The sites sit directly beside a flowing stream, where the sound of moving water provides a natural soundtrack throughout the night. With approximately six to eight established spots featuring fire rings, this location fills up quickly on weekends while remaining quieter during weekdays.

The gravel access road can be challenging for some vehicles, and campers should prepare for limited turnaround space once committed to the route. Most sites accommodate both RVs and tent camping, though the uneven terrain favors smaller rigs. Cell service reaches the area, allowing campers to stay connected while enjoying the riverside setting.

Forest Service officials have posted signs addressing cleanliness concerns, as some visitors have left behind debris and improperly disposed of waste. "Gorgeous stream/river…love the river sounds," notes Sigrid O., though she also observed discarded materials left by previous campers. Security remains a consideration, with at least one reported theft of camping equipment.

The day-use picnic area along Vermont Route 100 at the FR-25 intersection prohibits overnight camping, despite its proximity to the legitimate dispersed sites. Campers seeking developed facilities can find Austin Brook a short drive north.

Visitors often highlighted the scenic riverside sites with beautiful stream sounds, though availability is limited with only 6-8 spots that fill quickly on weekends. Several guests noted cleanliness issues from previous campers.

Pretty, scattered sites along small stream

All the sites were full when I visited (6 to 8 sites, approximately, but i didn't go down a couple little gravel paths to check each spot as you couldn't turn around easily) , so I didn't get to camp there. There was a NFS sign along FR-25 posted asking people to clean up after themselves (litter and human waste) as there'd been complaints to the extent that they were considering closing the sites if people didn't do better. There were some fire ring sites along Vermont 100 where FR-25 intersects it, but those are marked as No Camping (though one tent had been there at least a week). That area along 100 is supposed to be a day-use picnic area. 

The sites looked lovely though. Some people were really entrenched with string lights etc.

Beautiful by the river

We were here on a Friday & Saturday nights. Friday night had the whole place to ourselves. Saturday night all spots filled. We had quiet and respectful neighbors. People have been careless with leaving discarded boards and other items…not good… but door is still beautiful. Gorgeous stream/river…love the river sounds.

Peaceful but moist

Beautiful sites on the River but with the wet summer, we just couldn’t dry out. Make sure to lock you valuables. Our Jackery, Solar panels & toilet were stolen.
