    New Discovery State Park Campground accommodates equestrians with dedicated horse stalls at select camping sites. Located in Marshfield, Vermont, approximately 60 miles north of Quechee, this state park features sites specifically designed for campers traveling with horses. The campground offers both wooded and field sites with varying levels of privacy between neighbors. Bathroom facilities include flush toilets and coin-operated showers that are regularly maintained. Some sites provide electric hookups while others are more rustic. The campground maintains clean facilities with water access, fire rings, and picnic tables at most sites. Fresh moose tracks are occasionally spotted on nearby trails.

      New Discovery State Park Campground

      Drove through on my way past

      This easy-to-access campground has made it on my list of places to stay.

      There are two loops of sites, some deep in the woods with great-looking trees, others in a field, and some in between. There are even sites with stalls if you're into horses.

      The bathhouse looks typical and clean.

      Not much cell service, but some in places.

      Easy access to a lake and a picnic pavilion.

      Noticed more than a few sites that I could hang at.

      Groton Forest Road Campground

      Horrible

      If I could leave a no star rating, I would. To anyone who is looking to park there camper for the season, I recommend going elsewhere. The previous owner was a more reasonable guy and well respected. Save yourself the time and energy and do not sign a contract here, unless you want to later be told you have to leave for a reason that will not be discussed. The current owner is a dictator who likes to show favoritism. Please save yourself the trouble and try a different campground, there are plenty in the state of Vermont.

      New Discovery State Park Campground

      Interesting State Park

      This state park has a little bit of everything. There are sites with electric hookups as well as some without. Some sites are in the middle of a grassy field while others are tucked in the trees. Site size various pretty vastly as you travel through the campground. There are two main loops, one is more secluded and spaced out than the other. The campground loops have bath houses, complete with coin operated showers. Park staff were attentive and restrooms were being cleaned with frequency. 

      There are more remote walk-in shelters on the Osmore Pond, located within New Discovery State Park. The shelters are rustic, have shared outhouses between a few sites, fire pits and small picnic tables. The remote sites are spaced nicely around the pond along a hiking trail that skirts the perimeter. The walk from the parking area to the shelters varies, depending what side of the pond you are camping on. If bringing a full-sized cooler(or other large/luxury car camping items) be sure you are heading to a site closer to the parking area. It would be a challenge to get some of those larger, heavier items to sites across the pond from the parking lot.

      Branbury State Park Campground

      Beautiful!

      Had an amazing time at Branbury. The site was so scenic with a little waterfall and stream nearby. The camp staff was so nice. They kept the the bathrooms and areas so clean.

      There was plenty of space between sites so it didn’t feel like you were on top of each other. Bathrooms are flushing compost. However, there are only four showers for the whole campground.

      Book early if you want to get a site with a lean-to!

      Across the street from the campground was access to the lake with plenty of grassy areas to hang out. And beautiful sunsets at night! A five minute hike- though it is quite a rocky, boulder-y hike- from the sites leads to a small river and swimming hole.

      Just make sure you put your food and trash away- there are black bears in the area!

      Branbury State Park Campground

      Mountainside Bliss

      I’ve been here dozens of times, grew up going here every year and hiking rattlesnake. We make the trip from RI. Love to lake access, secluded camping, the hiking and remote area.

      Planning on revisiting next summer, even in august the nights get to a good sleeping temperature a vast majority of the time.

      I guess only negative thing to say is they changed the site numbers years back and we thought we booked the best site next to the River fro, past experiences but it was the one next to the bathrooms after they changed the site numbers without a warning.

      Excellent campground

      Such a beautiful place to stay! We stayed in a wooded area surrounded by large rocks my daughter could climb on. The beach was nearby and included in the stay with horseshoes and a playground. There was hiking nearby, but with the rain we weren't able to go. Can't wait to go back again!

      New Discovery State Park Campground

      Great site, poorly maintained facilities

      I camped at New Discovery this weekend, the sites are well separated and private. The grounds are beautiful and well situated to enjoy Groton State Forest. My complaint is in regards to the maintenance of the facilities. The Women’s bathroom ran out of toilet paper and was never replaced. More upsetting was that the soap container was empty all weekend. At a time like this hand washing is more important than ever! It was very disappointing!

      One of the more popular Vt State parks

      We showed up on a busy Memorial Day weekend without reservations and the staff was kind enough to give us their last leanto. This place has access to some of the best hiking and paddling in the state.

      Branbury State Park Campground

      Great state park

      I’ve stayed here a few times, and I’ve enjoyed each visit. The day use section has a wonderful beach with a swimming area and boat launch. Large trees provide shade on a grassy lawn, and grills are available. The concession stand is open during day use hours. The camp sites near the beach are in a large grassy field, and across the road, the campsites are wooded, and some have lean tos. The hiking trails nearby are very nice. There are bears in the area, so be aware and store all food properly. My family loves camping here.
