The recreation hall was a nice surprise. We had some rainy weather one afternoon and the kids were able to play games while we relaxed for a bit. Saved the day honestly😂

Spend A Few Days
We came up looking for a campground where we could actually spend a few days without constantly driving somewhere. Ended up fishing, swimming, walking along the river and exploring the area. The campground gave us plenty to do, but it was also nice having the option to just sit at the campsite and do nothing. Would definitley come back.

A Longer Stay
We have a big RV and had no trouble getting settled in. Having the full hookups made things super easy, especially for a longer stay.

Really Convenient
Nothing beats sitting by the river after a long day of exploring. We visited a few places around the Lake Sunapee area and this was a really convenient home base.

Entire Trip
We brought the kids and they found plenty to do. Between the pool, river and recreation area, they were pretty much entertained the entire trip.

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.

What to do
Hiking to scenic overlooks: The Appalachian Trail near Gifford Woods State Park Campground offers multiple lookout points. "Nearby hikes include the Bucklin Trail to the top of Killington, Sherburne Pass to Pico Peak, and Canty Trail to Blue Ridge Mountain. So many choices!" notes a camper who appreciated the variety of trail options within short driving distance.
Kayaking on calm waters: Half Moon Pond provides peaceful paddling opportunities with minimal motorboat traffic. "We were able to launch our kayaks right from our site. The pond is very weedy, so fishing was not so great, but the hiking trails around the park were fun," shares one visitor who enjoyed the water access despite some aquatic vegetation.
Explore historic sites: The area surrounding Quechee State Park Campground includes several preserved colonial-era structures. "The town of Woodstock is a short drive west, and Killington Resort is a bit west of that. Killington offers summer mountain biking, zip lines, adventure climbs and roller coasters," notes a camper who found plenty of off-site activities.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Many campers value the spacing at Half Moon Pond State Park Campground. "The park is small, quiet and very well cared for. Everyone seems to adhere to quiet hours so it was easy to get a good night's sleep," reports one visitor who appreciated the peaceful atmosphere.
Clean facilities: Emerald Lake State Park maintains their amenities well. "Facilities were great. The lake was beautiful and rented boats and canoes. Swimming is also available. Good central location," notes a camper who found the bathrooms and rental options satisfactory.
Natural surroundings: The wooded settings create a true outdoor experience. "Each site is separated with trees, offering some privacy and a greater sense of nature," mentions a visitor who enjoyed the natural ambiance of their yurt camping experience near Pittsfield, Vermont.
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate from mid-May through mid-October. "We have stayed at this campground twice and have been so happy with it every time. It's just a short hike back to the pond, which is very pretty and is along the Appalachian Trail. Very centrally located and takes no time at all to get to Killington and Rutland," explains a visitor at Quechee Pine Valley KOA.
Reservation requirements: Book well ahead for summer weekends and fall foliage season. "We stayed in the back of the park in a quieter section because it was away from most of the activities and park entrance. The site was a pull-in which was kind of nice because the view out of our front windshield was of a wooded area," notes a camper who planned ahead.
Limited cell service: Many campgrounds have spotty or no cellular coverage. "Cell services on ATT and TMobile were nonexistent. Campground WiFi is a joke (less than 1mbps)," reports a Lake Bomoseen KOA visitor who found connectivity challenging.
