    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Londonderry, Vermont and the surrounding Green Mountain region provide a mix of established campgrounds and primitive sites for outdoor enthusiasts. Jamaica State Park Campground, located about 10 miles southwest of Londonderry, offers tent and RV camping with both drive-in and walk-in sites. Winhall Brook Camping Area in South Londonderry features tent, RV, and cabin accommodations with waterfront access. The area includes several state parks and national forest lands that support various camping styles from developed facilities to more remote experiences.

    Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically from May through mid-October, with many closing after Columbus Day weekend. Primitive camping areas in Green Mountain National Forest, such as Hapgood Pond, remain accessible but with limited amenities during shoulder seasons. "Vermont to begin with is beautiful. You can stay in the National Green Mountain forest for only ten dollars a night," notes one camper about the affordability of national forest camping. Road conditions can vary significantly, especially during spring thaw when dirt roads become muddy and rutted. Cell service is generally reliable near established campgrounds but may be limited in more remote areas. Advance reservations are strongly recommended for summer weekends and fall foliage season when campgrounds frequently reach capacity.

    Waterfront camping receives consistently positive reviews from visitors to the region. Campers particularly value sites along the West River in Jamaica State Park and near Winhall Brook where swimming and paddling opportunities abound. According to one visitor, "The campground is located where Winhall River meets the West River. There is river swimming, hiking and biking on the West River Bike Trail, theater in the summer in Weston and wonderful towns all around." Mixed-use campgrounds offering both tent and RV sites tend to be well-maintained with clean facilities. Many developed campgrounds provide amenities such as fire rings, picnic tables, and access to potable water, while more primitive sites in the national forest offer greater privacy and a more rustic experience. The region's moderate summer temperatures and stunning fall foliage make it particularly appealing for camping from July through early October.

      Grout Pond Campground — Green Mountain & Finger Lakes National Forests

      Beautiful and remote

      My family has camped here for three years and we love it.  We rent a canoe and paddle all the way down to the furthest campsites.  The ability to hike to your spot or canoe makes it a blast, and it is a nice stepping stone to full backpacking if you ever want to get there.    

      For the past two seasons there was a Loon on the which is always a plus. 

      The toilets are great and fresh water is available from a well were you park.  One of the greatest spots we have found.

      Hearthstone Point Campground

      Amazing family friendly campground

      My family and I go here every year durning the summer. Big campsites (must of them are shaded), great for tent or RV camping, easy parking in sight. Great lake for swimming. Lots of things to do, very friendly staff, clean bathrooms located all around the campground and even a bigger bathroom with showers.

      Clean camp

      Clean campground, lots of sites. Lots of activities for the family. No pool, but clean showers. Quiet.. but I was here when it was pretty empty. Close to highways.

      Woodford State Park Campground

      Site 73

      The campground is secluded and quiet, lots of trees and the pond is pretty. There is a good hike around the pond (2.5 miles or so) with cool pull offs for wildlife spotting (we saw two loons fishing for their baby).

      Site 73 itself had the camp beach access which brought some people in close proximity but they were all respectful. The beach is more of a muddy, rocky, bay but shallow enough for wading.

      Fire wood seemed expensive for what we got ($9 per bundle).

      Molly Stark State Park Campground

      Great park

      We stayed at the park in our truck camper for two nights. It was very clean and quiet. We stayed in site five which was very secluded, large site that was level and perfect for a small camper or van. There are two trails right from the park that lead up to the Mount Olga fire tower, and a trail continues over that which ends at a local distillery, with a general store and a brewery with awesome pizza across the street as well. (~ 1.5 miles one way to the distillery). The views from the tower and the distillery/brewery/store are gorgeous. The bathrooms and showers were extremely clean, and it was only $.50 for five minutes of hot water. They also had firewood for sale. nearby Wilmington is very close and a cute town, and it is not far to Brattleboro and Bennington as well. We came up for some cycling training and there are multiple options for gorgeous gravel riding routes. The only slight downside was that Route 9 is a little busy and there was some occasional road noise, but it wasn’t too bad and not really noticeable at night at all. There were several really nice lean-tos, the loop with sites 2 through 12 are much nicer and more secluded and wooded, the loop with sites one through 23 are more open and in a field with less shade and privacy. Would not hesitate to stay again!

      Wilgus State Park Campground

      Very nice

      Super clean and well maintained small campground. A walking path runs in front of all the sites. Most sites have an obstructed water view of the Connecticut river. There is a vegitation barrier between the sites and the river. Canoes and kayaks are available for rental, and there is a small office with ice and wood for sale. Sites are close together but i still found it peaceful and relaxing. Mt Ascutney trail head and auto road are about a 15 minute drive and i found waterfalls and swimming holes within a 20 minute drive.

    Guide to Londonderry

    Green Mountain National Forest offers primitive and established camping options near Londonderry, Vermont. The area sits at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 feet with summer temperatures typically ranging from 65-80°F during the day and cooling to 45-55°F at night. Fall brings more dramatic temperature swings, with frost possible by late September in higher elevation sites.

    What to do

    Waterfall hikes: Jamaica State Park Campground provides access to several waterfall trails, including Hamilton Falls. "There is plenty of trails in the area and you can go to the waterfall/rock slides and take a dip in the pools. The area is beautiful and good food across the street!" notes Jackie G. about Jamaica State Park Campground.

    Fly fishing: The Battenkill River is known for its trout fishing opportunities. A camper at Camping On The Battenkill describes it as having "world-class trout fishing" with sites "right on the river" making it easy to access prime fishing spots throughout the day.

    Kayaking and canoeing: Grout Pond Campground offers multiple paddle-in campsites accessible only by water. "You can load up your water vessel and go across the lake to your campsite!" reports Cortne. The campground includes about 18 sites total, with 6 waterfront sites that can be reached by either hiking or paddling.

    What campers like

    River camping: Winhall Brook Camping Area features sites where two rivers meet, creating excellent swimming and relaxation spots. "Beautiful campground. Lush grass meadows. 2 rivers intersect in the campground. Most sites are on or just off the river," writes Melissa L. about Winhall Brook Camping Area.

    Swimming holes: Many campgrounds offer natural swimming areas that visitors consistently rate highly. At Emerald Lake State Park Campground, Christina S. calls it "Beautiful and quiet" with "a lovely emerald green small lake with nice beach. Good for fishing and kayaking." The lake even features a small island swimmers can reach.

    Quiet forest settings: Greendale Campground provides a secluded experience with only 11 campsites along Greendale Brook. Ryan P. describes it as "quiet and peaceful" and mentions "We picked a nice site next to a babbling brook," noting they "only saw two cars during our entire stay."

    What you should know

    Remote locations: Cell service varies dramatically between campgrounds. "No cell service and a gorgeous back drop is a perfect spot to just unwind from the real world," writes Brittany B. about Jamaica State Park. At other campgrounds, reception may be spotty but available.

    Limited amenities: Many forest service campgrounds have minimal facilities. Grout Pond Campground has "one bathroom" that according to Molly G. "went days without any attempt of cleaning or restocking" and recommends "bringing your own TP just in case."

    Seasonal conditions: Spring camping can be muddy, especially at primitive sites. Jenny J. advises about Grout Pond: "If you plan on staying past campsites 1-3 bring extra socks and rain boots because it gets muddy. The walk is pretty long to other campsites and getting through all the mud only added to the pain of bringing things back and forth."

    Tips for camping with families

    Playgrounds and activities: Some campgrounds offer additional recreation options for children. Douglas L. recommends Horseshoe Acres Campground as "Great for families" with "Mini golf, playground and swimming pool for the kids. Three large field areas with lots of families and plenty of space for kids to meet others and ride bikes."

    Child-friendly swimming: Look for campgrounds with designated swimming areas. At Emerald Lake, Tara S. reports it's "an awesome park for kids, and the turquoise water is a dream to cool off in. There's a small, sandy beach at one end of the lake, with a bath house and changing rooms nearby."

    Site selection: Choose your site carefully when camping with children. According to Tara S., at Emerald Lake "many of them are perched on a steep ledge, making them a bit sketchy for families with kids. If you have little ones, check out the map before you reserve a site and find one on the opposite side of the ledge."

    Tips from RVers

    Accessibility challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult access roads or site entrances. Melody C. warns about Horseshoe Acres: "NOT BIG RIG FRIENDLY! At least at the upper sites... our 42 foot fifth wheel hit the road going up it, then severely druuuuug down the hill going down it extremely slowly."

    Hookup availability: Electric and water hookups are limited in the region. Gail P. notes about Winhall Brook: "Few sites have hookups so bring your solar and pick a sunny site. They do have some walk up sites that can't be reserved ahead."

    Leveling issues: Several campgrounds have uneven sites that require leveling blocks. One RVer at Horseshoe Acres mentioned that while the "campground is beautiful" with "stunning trees, lovely grass," many sites require significant leveling effort, particularly in the hillier sections.
