Willoughby Farm Animal Rescue

9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents107 acres · Fairlee, VT

We are a 107-acre forest and farm animal rescue. Sleep with the sheep, alpacas, donkeys, potbellied pigs, and rabbits when you pitch your tent or park your camper on our Vermont Farm! Reserve the group site and sleep in the middle of the action! (You do not need a "group" to reserve the group site -- it is just our biggest site and can accommodate groups!). Co-located in the open, grassy area with the free-roaming farm rescues is our RV site. Co-located sites share a community fire ring, so it's a great way to meet and make new friends! Don't have a tent or RV? Spend a magical night in "The Greenhouse" (it's a real, working greenhouse that doubles as accommodations for those looking for a more "glamping" experience). Want a little privacy? Reserve one of our two tricked-out Tent Deck sites (Buddha North and Grandmother Pine), each with its own picnic table, private fire ring, and commercial-grade park grill. Nestled discretely in the forest adjacent to the area where the animals are, you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere even though you are less than a 5-minute walk from your car! Looking for something a bit more remote and spectacular? Hike a half-mile to the Big Sky Tent Deck. An incredible vista awaits you for a little effort! Need gear? We have it for rent, from cast iron grill baskets and griddles to make cooking over a charcoal grill or fire a breeze to tents to 1- and 2- burner propane stoves to tarps to water containers. We even have an Anker Portable Power Station and Portable Kerosene Heater for rent! Need Supplies? Charcoal? Propane? We've got it. ----- We are a small non-profit (501c3). When you stay with us, rent equipment from us, or take a tour with us, 100% of the money you pay goes directly for the care and feeding of the rescue animals.

Quarry Brook

4 sites · Lodging, Tents100 acres · Putney, VT

It all started on a first date in Boston....Nick had to excuse himself to take a phone call. His cow had fled its pasture. Much to Tara's surprise in that moment, this man she had just met was finishing his engineering degree at Northeastern, but was simultaneously building a homestead in Vermont. Fast forward 7 years, and here we are, building the life we only dreamed of. We yearned for simplicity. Deeper connections to our surroundings and mother nature. A calmer sense of place. The satisfaction that comes from growing food. Creating with our hands. We're a working farm and homestead. Every day at Quarry Brook is a new adventure, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re incredibly excited to share our little corner of southern Vermont and what we’re up to with you!

The best camping near Coolidge State Park guide

Overview

About

Looking to really escape? A trip to Coolidge State Park is like taking a ride in the DeLorean: known for its authentic, rustic vibes, it remains remarkably unchanged from when it was built in the 1930s. Many of the campsites provide dramatic, “pano”-worthy views of the Black River Valley and the Green Mountains.

Coolidge State Park is the developed recreation hub of the 21,500-acre Calvin Coolidge State Forest, the largest state-owned land holding in central Vermont. Coolidge State Park boasts an entire loop of remote, lean-to campsites, which are great for escaping that freak, summer hail storm you didn’t prepare for. There’s miles of hiking trails to explore, several trout-bearing streams and oodles of wildlife. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a black bear!

Notable campgrounds

Coolidge State Park Campground - A forested haven with sites for tents and RVs, surrounded by picturesque views.
Lean-to Sites - Rustic shelters providing a unique camping experience amid the park's natural splendor.
Cabins - Cozy accommodations that offer a touch of comfort in the great outdoors.

Consider mid-week stays for better availability and a quieter experience.
