Texas Gap

What a fantastic campsite. We went here for my best man's bachelor party and it was exactly what we wanted. Vermont unfortunately shuts down most of their campsites from April 15th until memorial day to clean and get things in order. The problem is it leaves almost zero places to stay. We found this from a friend that had been here before, there was not much information on it elsewhere. When you drive in the park there is a map to show you where the sites are on the forest roads. I HIGHLY recommend that you look at this map because without it you may be wandering forest roads until the sun comes up. They say there are only a few sites here but that is only partially correct. The site we stayed at (207) had at least 5 fire pits strewn about a field and probably 20 suitable sits for tents, though it might get a little crowded with a group that size.

Restrooms: there were no drop toilets, restrooms, etc. Just clean old mother nature.

Amenities: there was the map at the beginning of the park, also several stone fire pits at all locations.

Proximity to activities: from the field we stayed in you could see the long trail on the ridge. Besides that there is a ton more hiking in the area. There is also great mountain biking and even better breweries around.

Overall this was one of the best campsites I have been in. I will say we passed some more less desirable sites in this park so not all of them were perfect. But not often can you camp in a field and have a great view, at least in New England. Most things are tucked in the trees so this was a fantastic surprise.

P.S. - there are two headstones on the edge of the woods near the site. It appears that this was there favorite place to camp so I think it was a good sign. We poured some beer out for them just for good luck, I think it worked.
