Reservations are available at Indian Brook Reservoir, a municipally managed, walk-in campground in Essex Junction, Vermont, with nightly rates running $21 to $36. Sites sit on tent platforms in the woods and require a roughly 15-minute hike to reach. Pack accordingly. Campers with kayaks can paddle gear to the sites directly on the reservoir. Sites are spacious but share a privy and offer limited privacy from neighboring platforms. Pets are welcome, and campfires are permitted. Anglers and paddlers tend to get the most out of this spot, given direct reservoir access and an established trail network usable year-round. Those looking at places to camp near Essex Junction will find this one among the more water-accessible options in the area.
