All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

My husband and I were nomads in the summer of 2006, and happened upon this property that called to both of us equally. It took us another year to get up here and we're so glad we did. How about we share our good fortune with you (and help us pay our real estate taxes)? We do have bear so all food must be stored inside a vehicle or bear bag.Wooded, secluded campsite has an open canopy, letting you watch the night sky. Site has a primitive bucket commode with a seat and overhead shelter. Potable water at barn, with trash, compost, and recycle containers. Food scraps MUST go in compost bucket, not trash. We do have bear, so we ask you to keep all food in your car when you are not actively engaged in cooking and eating it. Coyotes, Fox, chipmunks, ticks et al. You’re in the woods. 30 yards from car parking.

What to expect

Tent site

You'll have this Hipcamp all to yourself.

8 guests max

Campfires allowed

Firewood provided, firepit. We have a cleared pack it in/pack it out tent site set among tall birch and balsam fir. Availability for fires will depend upon local conditions.

Toilet available

Portable toilet. We off a primitive shed with a commode with wood shavings.

No pets

We have free range chickens here, so I'm afraid dogs are not allowed. I wish it were different; we love dogs. But they do have powerful instincts.

Potable water available

Hose, pump or well. Across the private road, at the barn, is an outdoor pump with fresh water from our well. You are welcome to refill your containers.

Bins available

Compost bin, recycling bin, trash bin. We do have bear here, so it's important for us to NOT have a garbage can so far from the house. You'll have to store all food in your car. Upon your departure, however, you can deposit recyclables, compost, and trash in marked containers at the barn.

Picnic table present

We added a wooden picnic table in 2020.

No showers

Bathe in lake. You are welcome to take a quick dip in our pond to cool off after an active day.

No wifi

Close to Lamoille Valley Rail Trail

Tent

Our host Janet was kind and really helped us 2 tired bikepackers to get the lay of the land/site and quickly get to our camp to set up tents and crash for the night. The highlights were the commode (well maintained with good instructions) and the pond! The view while cycling up the hill to get to the site was stunning as well. Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend. Thank you!

We spent 2 nights at Janet campsite. It is in the woods :) it is lovely. There is also a pond to freshen up but we didn’t use it. We arrived late but thanks to Janet explanation, we didn’t have any issue to find the place We highly recommend!

Tent

The land was beautiful and the campsite lovely. Beyond that, Janet was extremely helpful when the skies poured their contents on Vermont and I had to change my plans to flee the flood. Thank you for helping me out! A great place to stop when cycling the LVRT. Don't let that hill stop you from choosing this site! I hope there's not too much damage on the trail, or the road leading up to this site!

Tent · With kids

This spot was so lovely and our host so accommodating! We enjoyed a dip in the pond and some hammock time with our three year old, as well as the generously provided firewood, marshmallows, and sticks for roasting. The morning bird song was also delightful.

Beautiful Remote Site

Tent · Group trip

The stay at Janet's site was phenomenal. They were very flexible and hospitable when I discussed our needs while biking through Danville on a bike tour. The site was beautiful and I would love to stay there again.
