Pleasant Valley Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Pine trees line the tiered hillside at Pleasant Valley Campground outside Wells River, Vermont, where sites step down toward a pond large enough to support nesting loons. The campground runs from mid-May through mid-October and accepts RVs up to 40 feet with full hookups, but tent campers also have options, including back-woods spots and open fields that can accommodate groups with multiple tents. The access road has a reputation for being rough, so drivers should factor that in before arrival.

As Paul Y. puts it, "sites are on a tiered hillside so most have a view of the lake." That layout works well for most campers, though the waterfront sites are notably tighter, with room for little more than a car and trailer. Pine pitch accumulates on gear at those sites. The pond has a small swimming area that also functions as a canoe and kayak launch, and the no-wake water draws afternoon paddlers. Cell service is consistently reported as weak or absent, and there is no WiFi on site.

The bathrooms are kept clean and laundry services are available. Campfires are permitted, and reviewers note that a cord of wood can last several days. The owner is frequently mentioned as attentive and easy to reach, and reservations can often be made just a week out. Pets are welcome. Campers wanting a different setup nearby can check out P&H Truck Stop a few miles south, or browse campgrounds just outside Bolton Valley for additional options in the region.

Many visitors appreciated the scenic lakeside setting with spacious sites among pines and helpful, accommodating owners. Clean facilities and full RV amenities were frequently praised. Some noted close spacing at waterfront sites but most found it fostered a friendly atmosphere.

No distractions

We'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.

Tent sites always avaliable!

This campground is great for RVs but I actually prefer to pitch a tent here. There are lots of spots in the back woods and also a couple fields you can reserve if you have a bunch of tents to set up. Plus the owner is always super nice and very accommodating! And always make sure to get a load of wood because it’ll last a couple days if not longer! I come here more than Groton state parks nowadays because they are so expensive and always very booked. I can call the week before and get a spot here, which I love!

Beautiful setting!

5 stars for the setting in the pines overlooking the lake with spacious sites (except those along side the lake). 3 stars for lack of cell service and no WiFi . I would definitely stay again. Owner very helpful and attentive . Sites are on a tiered hillside so most have a view of the lake.

Nice to get out, but not too far out

This campground offers seasonal sites (my friend's parents got one this season) and has all the necessities to hook up your RV and create your own temporary summer escape. It also would be a nice place to stay for a night if you're driving through. Sites are spacious, but most are rather close to one another - especially the waterfront ones which are packed in there and offer room for no more than a car and trailer. This can get noisy, but also let's you get to know your neighbors. Many of the sites are under pine trees, so pitch can get on a lot of stuff. Many sites are just a stone's throw away from the pond, which makes for great scenery and sunrises! There also is a small swimming area that doubles as a canoe/kayak launch as well. The bathrooms are clean and they even offer laundry services.

Overall, this is a nice campground if you like to get outside for the weekend with amenities, but it doesn't have that "backcountry" feel that other, more primitive campgrounds have.
