Best Dispersed Camping near Wallingford, VT
Green Mountain National Forest surrounds Wallingford, Vermont with numerous primitive campsites along forest roads. The Road's End Dispersed Camp and Downed Bridge Camp provide basic free sites with fire rings but no other facilities. One camper noted Road's End has "a little rough drive in, but doable for most vehicles." Sites along Forest Road 71 offer multiple options for tent and small RV camping, with the Somerset Airfield area providing pit toilets - rare among these primitive locations.
Most dispersed sites in the region require adequate vehicle clearance. A visitor to NF 83 mentioned "the beginning of the little driveway is quite rough with some bigger rocks," emphasizing the need for higher clearance vehicles. Campsites typically feature only a fire ring, with no water or other amenities. The Stratton Pond area offers both primitive camping and shelter access for hikers, though reaching it requires a 3.75-mile trek from the nearest winter parking. The standard 14-day camping limit applies throughout the national forest backcountry.
