Very nice scenic, quiet private site on top of a hill, it was winter so didn’t get a chance to spend much time outside of the van, but would definitely stay here again. This represents the pastoral beauty of the Champlain Valley very nicely and one can walk to downtown Vergennes, which has really cool restaurants and shops.

At first I was worried I would have trouble finding it from the directions but it was very easy to find even at night. We set up and had a fire and enjoyed the night and next morning woke up, took a nice walk and explored the property. Would have loved to stay here another night but next time!

Beautiful spot overlooking an old orchard. Evenings by the fire and morning coffee in the swing, were our favorites. Easy walk down the road to restaurants and shops. Spot is doable with back in (or out) for any sized or type of rig.

Great site for dry camping! It was private and quiet, but easily accessible. Also close to town. Would definitely recommend!
