    Overview

    NOTICE: Due to the major damages sustained to the bathrooms during the 2023 floods, and the contractual lead times we are going to stay closed through the 2025 camping season (One caveat; If the construction on the 3 restrooms are completed before next fall; we will try and open for partial season camping). Winhall Brook Camping Area is nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont along Winhall Brook and the West River, seven miles from Ball Mountain Lake. The campground has strong appeal to the outdoorsman at heart, offering hiking, biking and fishing opportunities in a beautiful natural setting.

The trail connects the villages of South Londonderry, Jamaica and Townshend. Ball Mountain Lake is nearby with fishing, boating, hiking and scenic overlooks. You can access the lake at our car-top boat launch which also provides shore fishing access. Hiking trails offer great views of Angel Falls to the north and Hamilton Falls to the south along the West River Trail.
