The park itself and the surroundings are beautiful, with a few hiking trails to take advantage of. Only about 20 minutes to Manchester, which is a super cute town that has everything you may need. Lots to do in the area.
- WARNING: There is a drinking water hose right next to the dump station and we saw someone using the drinking water hookup to rinse their black tank...not such a great idea to have those so close to each other. I would NOT fill my water there.
- All sites are shaded, so we couldn't use solar
- Appreciated compost and recycling availability
- Cell signal was minimal
- No hookups
- Coin operated showers
- The road in was somewhat steep and in poor condition.
- You can hear a bit of road noise from HWY 7 nearby.

60+ campsites and lean-to’s. Several sites level and spacious enough for our 34 ft class A towing a Jeep. Paved roads and dirt sites. No hook-ups, fresh water and Dumpstation on the way in and water spigots around the camping area. All sites shaded by trees. Bathrooms and coin showers available. Campground is up a ridge from the lake and minimal to no view of lake from campsites due to trees. Trails down to the lake or drive car to parking area. Only 5-6 sites taken during the week in October. Route 7 and rail road nearby, but quiet at night. Campground closes on Columbus Day. Appalachian trail/Vermont Long trail access is a short drive away. Excellent Verizon cell service.

Great sized spots, clean facilities, and not far from Manchester for local amenities. Great spot that allows dogs too. Unfortunately, they aren’t allowed down at the lake. Highly recommend!

Farms and charm – that is the essence of Vermont. Yes, brooks, streams, stone walls, cows, granges, hippies, cowboys, Subarus, hikers and skiers. But in the end, it is farm and charm. For those who...
