ScoutGenuinely one of the most fun weekends I had, staff was amazing and cordial and the other people were friendly; the only thing that I wasn’t a huge fan of was the proximity to other campers. While it’s far enough away for some privacy, at night you can hear people snoring rather loudly.
ScoutWe camped here in June of 2026. It is not as remote as some other locations, mainly because you are in Waterbury, VT and Waterbury can be quite busy with visitors.
We parked on Cotton Brook Rd and were told by multiple people that you need to be aware of rain. The parking lot can flood if you get days of rain. The days we camped we did have heavy downpours the morning of day 2 and by the time we left the reservoir was probably 6 ft higher. So it is a real thing. The benefit of that is tons of waterfalls lead into the reservoir and they are quite pretty.
It is a long canoe from the Cotton Brook lot and you need to go to campsite 14 to really get a campsite with a full view of the lake. We were on campsite 18 and it is surrounded by trees. Thats great if you want privacy, but not great if you want a view of the lake.
No loons while we were there. : (
In short, it is pretty good, but we would recommend others.
ScoutI love this place, nice atmosphere, clean showers and nice mountain range views. Recommended for anyone looking for a nice campground that has very good cell reception for the ones who are depending their stays to have it.
ScoutI've stayed on and off for 20 years, love the atmosphere, hospitality, pools, water slides. Laundry room and clean showers.
ScoutA little expensive but worth it. The pool and staff are awesome. Everything is clean.
ScoutWe have stayed here a few times. It’s always clean and quiet. Pool is nice but very family (kid) oriented. Love the trails to the water from both camp loops. Great place to stay with a kayak or paddle board!
TravelerAmazing spot, great area! Plentyyy of room. Between sites 10 & 11 is the longest distance out the bunch and enjoyed that because it was easy to run a generator at any hour of the day with no one able to be disturbed by it. Loved Haystack Road overall. Had strong AT&T reception even with 1 - 2 bars.
TravelerEnjoyed staying here. Very quiet. But lot more expensive than it says.
TravelerTerrible. Only 1 bar of Verizon. They have WIFI but it’s useless. Plus way too crowded for me. Noisy

Paddle remote campsites: Access secluded lean-to sites at Kettle Pond State Park Campground by canoe or kayak for increased privacy. "We rented canoes and paddles across Kettle Pond to one of the shelter sites in early September and it was incredible. Each site has access to a fire pit, lean-to, and outhouse but no immediate running water," reports camper Kelsey M.
Hike historical trails: Explore abandoned settlements on trails accessible from campsites. "Little River has lots of old foundations hidden on the trails that are fun to discover," notes Rita M. The history-focused trails range from easy 1-mile loops to more challenging 5+ mile routes through former homesteads.
Fish freshwater ponds: Cast for native species in the motor-free waters. "The fish were bitting all day long for catch and release fishing for our scouts which was perfect because some of the them kids never fished before," explains Chris H. about his Cub Scout Pack's experience at Kettle Pond. Most ponds maintain catch-and-release policies for sustainability.
Privacy between sites: Ricker Pond State Park Campground offers well-spaced camping locations. "There is a ton of space between sites -- we could barely see our neighbors or hear them," notes Shari G. Sites are designed with natural vegetation buffers to maintain separation.
Dark night skies: Minimal light pollution provides exceptional stargazing opportunities. "Dog friendly and quiet campground with goregous views of the milky way galaxy," explains Kelli M. about Big Deer State Park Campground. Many sites position fire rings away from neighboring camps to preserve dark sky viewing.
Paddling without motors: Motor restrictions on several ponds create peaceful water experiences. "The pond is serene and a great place to swim, paddle, explore, and fish," shares Hannah H. about Ricker Pond. "Unlike Stillwater this is on its own pond so not as much traffic," adds Tessa H. about the same location.
Limited shower facilities: Pay showers available at select parks only. "Showers, which we did not use, were $0.25 for four minutes," notes Jennifer L. about Lazy Lions Campground. Most state parks require quarters for shower operation.
Remote water sources: Many campgrounds require traveling for drinking water. "There is not ANY running water. The running water is accessed by going to New Discovery Campground, which is about 3 miles down the road," explains Rita M. about Kettle Pond State Park. Campers should bring containers to transport water.
Variable site conditions: Campsite terrain differs significantly within individual campgrounds. "Some sites are so sloped I don't even know how a car would camp there. Some sites are out in the open grass where you just find a spot within the site that works for you," warns Laura M. about New Discovery State Park Campground.
Rail trail access: Several campgrounds connect to converted railroad paths for safe cycling. "We took a half day bike trip on it one day to go to the town of Marshfield to visit Rainbow Sweets," shares Rita M. about accessing the Cross Vermont Trail from Kettle Pond. The mostly flat trail surfaces accommodate riders of all abilities.
Book waterfront sites early: Lakeside sites fill months in advance, especially during summer. "The tent only loop is so private and perfect for kids biking and swimming. Nice pavilion and the pond was wonderful for canoes and kayaks," notes Rita M. about Little River State Park Campground.
Pack for variable weather: Temperature swings of 30+ degrees can occur within 24 hours. "Low 80s during the day, and 60s at night, without any rain. A few of the mornings, the kids even swam before breakfast because the water was warm enough that it was warmer than the cool morning air temperature," explains a Kettle Pond camper.
Limited hookup options: Most RV-friendly campgrounds near Websterville offer basic services only. "Gravel roads and relatively level gravel sites. The FHUs were in good order. Slightly low water pressure," notes John T. about Limehurst Lake.
Bridge access restrictions: Some campgrounds have narrow entry points challenging for larger rigs. "You need to go over a bridge in order to get to the campground which is ridiculously narrow and there are terrible potholes. Our 42 foot fifth wheel barely made it in," warns Cyn D. about Onion River Campground.
Water fill adaptations: Non-standard water connections may require equipment modifications. "The spigots for the water are not threaded. We tried our water bandit, with messy wet results. Luckily, we found we could unscrew the head of the hose at the dump station and had no problem filling our tank with potable water," explains Laura M. about New Discovery State Park.
