"Close to Randolph for groceries and take-out. The Barn gas station complex off of Exit 4 was perfect for fueling-up before getting back on the road."
"WE camp on a site on the river, some sites you can hear the river rushing over the rocks and some not but we like the view of the river when outside. "

I stopped here on a section hike of the Appalachian trail."

ScoutWe've been camping here a few years now. It has everything you need without the distractions of WiFi or Cell service (which is a plus for us).
Fun large pond big enough for a nesting pair of loons. Nice for an afternoon paddle with no wake.
GuideBetween the beach, the mini golf, playground, and an entire shed of recreation items available to use this place is amazing! Activities are scheduled throughout the season
GuideRentals of canoes and kayaks were helpful. Swimming is available at sunapee unless you like leaches. Fishing friendly and quiet campground
GuideCan’t say enough good things about this place. It is a private landowners land, and she has various camping options including a cabin, hives, or open locations for rv or tent camping. We stayed for a long weekend with friends in a separate rv, and then a friend who rented a hive. The land is 8 acres, and you feel a sense of privacy and serenity. You hear roosters in the morning from a local farm. The views are vast, and it’s relaxing.
Logistically, there is a good place for rv parking below the garden hoop house. It is a flat long gravel area, which can access power, but you’ll need an extension chord or two to reach it. The hives are set back from this area and behind other gardens, near a water source. There is a cabin in the middle of the property, and then additional rv or tent camping in another area above the main house, which also has an electric hookup. Each area is far enough away from the others that you feel a sense of privacy and serenity.
There is a common area building on the property with Wi-Fi, a bathroom and a kitchen area, which seemed to be used mostly for making tea or accessing the kitchen sink for water. I am not sure if you could use it for cooking - you would need to ask the landowner. It has a small sitting area with tourism/hiking/sightseeing guides and maps. We used it to check email and make phone calls, as cell access is spotty in this general area of Vermont and we didn’t have a cell signal by our rv. You can shower and use the toilet. I would recommend bringing your own soap and shampoo.
There are a few fire pit areas on the property, and the land owner will show you where you can find wood in the surrounding woods. The gardens are full of flowers and vegetables. There is also a sauna and a yoga room, neither of which we used.
It truly is a magical environment. You are a few minutes away from Cabot, which is very small. The area is a hiking and gravel biking hot bed. The “Ride the Ridges” gravel ride passes the property, so you can do the course from there. There are numerous hikes of all distances and difficulty in this area of Vermont.
ScoutI have been there earlier this month during a week day for a last minute break from work. Experience was great. Not only the ambiance (one of the rare locations to be just in front of this beautiful river) but also the location that is near all key hiking trails and attractions (ski resorts, breweries and restaurants).
ScoutOwner aggressively berated my family for “checking out” 30 minutes late (no check out time was mentioned when we arrived, on camp map, in bathroom, etc). Very strange interaction, which nearly ruined my wife’s birthday, and which was the most memorably awful human interaction of my family’s travels all across eastern North America from Newfoundland to Florida. Camp is ok if a little run down… but watch out for female owner. Weirdly out of place in generally chilled out and hospitable Vermont
RangerVery nice campground. Plenty of space for 2 vehicles in campsite. Sites are spacious and and shaded. Flush toilets well stocked and clean. Showers available at camp store. Very nice and helpful staff. Surprising that campground does not allow pets. The campground is close to main road and was noisy at night. Visitor center and Flume Trail are nearby.
RangerAccess to campground is on a gravel road but my van did okay. It is small and primitive and there is a camp host who is very nice. Within walking distance from the campground are accesses to hiking / biking trails. Sites are spacious and shady.
ScoutWe stay here a couple of times a year. It is our first stay of the season and our last. Very quiet, sites are large and staff is friendly. I am disappointed that the new owners have changed the campground to seasonal instead year round. My children are grown but would think not much for them to do there. For children I would think Clearwater campground across the street would be better. (Same owners)
