The Green Mountain National Forest surrounding Cuttingsville, Vermont offers established campgrounds and dispersed camping options throughout the region. Coolidge State Park Campground stands among the most notable sites, situated on a wooded mountainside with lean-to shelters offering panoramic mountain views. The area includes both developed sites with amenities like showers and picnic tables at Emerald Lake State Park and Gifford Woods State Park, as well as primitive dispersed camping areas such as Downed Bridge Camp and Road's End where campers can find more solitude with minimal facilities.
Seasonal considerations heavily impact camping in the Cuttingsville region, with many established campgrounds operating from late May through mid-October. "The prime lean-to sites overlook the rugged terrain of the Green Mountains. It is especially beautiful in the fall," noted one visitor to Coolidge State Park. Road conditions can vary significantly, especially for accessing dispersed sites like Road's End, which one review described as having "a little rough" drive in, though "doable for most vehicles." Winter access to some areas requires skiing or snowshoeing, as snow often covers amenities from December through mid-April, and the nearest plowed parking may be a mile or more from campgrounds like Greendale.
Campers consistently mention the privacy and natural setting of sites throughout the region as major highlights. Greendale Campground receives praise for its peaceful setting along a babbling brook, though some visitors note significant insect activity during summer months. At Coolidge State Park, the most coveted sites are the prime lean-tos with mountain views toward Killington, which require advance booking. The park's elevated location provides exceptional vistas, particularly during fall foliage season. Little Rock Pond, accessible only by hiking, offers a more secluded experience with platforms, a three-walled cabin, and even a composting toilet facility. While many campgrounds provide basic amenities like fire rings and picnic tables, dispersed sites typically offer nothing more than a clearing and sometimes a fire ring, requiring campers to be fully self-sufficient.

Rented A Cabin
We rented a cabin and honestly it was perfect for what we needed. Spent the days exploring around Lake Sunapee and came back here to relax at night.

Gifford woods campground
Nice campground near Killington, VT. Water and dump station. Not for big rigs we have a 21 ft TT. Things were tight but doable. One of the few Vermont state campgrounds that is still open. Most close from second Monday in October until Memorial Day.

Around The Fire
First time camping in this area and we really liked it. The pool kept the kids busy and we spent the evenings around the fire.

Our Favorite Part
The Sugar River was our favorite part. We spent a good amount of time down by the water and the kids loved cooling off there.

Little stop for three days as we travel!
Lots of beautiful spots to pick from but be careful some are a bit muddy. We brought our school bus down the dirt road just fine and backed right in. They also have fireplaces which was nice!

Wonderful owners. A variety of sites to choose from in a relaxing setting. No waste hookups here, but they have a dump station. $51 per night with cash.

LegendCoolidge State Park Campground Vermont
Very private with gorgeous views
This is a quiet campground in a quiet part of the state. The terrain is mountainous, and all of the sites are private. There are two loops, one for tents/RVs and one for lean-tos. We stayed in the Willow lean-to, and while our site didn't have a view, it was one of the most private sites we've stayed in and just a short walk to the bathhouse.
The campground was created by the CCC in the 1930s, and from what I've heard, it hasn't changed much since that time. While we were here, we visited the Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site (very cool), Long Trail Brewing, and the town of Woodstock. Great trip!

Lake Champagne Resort Vermont, Inc.
A Gem in Vermont
Simply said, if you like a well maintained place with a swim beach, floating dock, grass galore, space to stretch out, and more, this is the place. It’s beautiful. As a bonus, it’s cost effective over other RV parks. If you want free, nope. If you want wild open spaces, nope. You a great lush big clean park that feels like your Owen estate, then come check this place out. We will be back.
