The Best Camping Near West Dover, Vermont

I've looked at this spot a few times and it is normally way to wet to camp at, but this time it was frozen.  This is a nice clearing near the river where the road used to cross.

The access into this location is a little rough but most cars should make it, I would prefer having a little more clearance though just to be sure.  

Being a primitive site there is only a fire ring here.

Quiet spot on the river

Peacefully placed along the bends of the river is a large open grassy area with a sizable fire pit! The left side of the drive in is swampy so be sure to not drift to that side. The beginning of the little driveway is quite rough with some bigger rocks we have substantial ground clearance so no issues there but smaller ground clearances may feel a bump or two! Live by the motto leave nicer than you found it so we all can continue to enjoy the beauty!
