Come see Lake Shaftsbury State Park! This 200 year old farm is at the top of a dead end road on 150 acres. It sits in a region of Bennington County formerly called Healing Springs Vermont. The springs that flow off of West Mountain come down through the farm and across Route 7 where they feed the picturesque state park! Arrive at our 150 acre property at the top of this dead-end road.. (Please stay left all the way up to the top...the road becomes our driveway).. Step out onto this 200-year-old farm at your own private site all of which are several acres each minimum.. Walk to streams ponds and Lake Shaftsbury State Park.

Beautiful property. Host is incredibly nice. Views are amazing. Possibly best campsite I have ever stayed at, notwithstanding a lack of toilet paper.

Great Location
Great camp great host, lots of privacy and beautiful views. The location was ideal as well. In a quick weekend trip managed to hit offroad trails. hike the Appalachian Trail and visit two lakes because everything was just a short drive. Will definitely revisit this camp.

We had a great time staying in the barn at Mike's place. It was a unique camping experience to cook on the fire and woodstove while listening to records on a stereo, and then play some pingpong before going to sleep in actual beds with a huge vista of stars seen through open barn doors. We'll definitely be back, but then we will have to make the difficult decision on whether to stay in the barn again, or one of this host's many other excellent sites on his classic Vermont farm.

Gorgeous
The site was absolutely gorgeous and private. It was perfect. You def need a vehicle that can handle the road up, bit it's so worth it. And Mike was a perfect host. Was there for needs, otherwise you were given privacy.

Mike's property was fabulous. Amazing views, very private, wood for sale and even a pit toilet and spring shower. I plan on coming back. Highly recommended.
