We stayed at the larger campsite right by the river, and it was clean, well-maintained, and peaceful. The sound of the water, the fireflies at night, and the secluded setting made for a truly memorable stay.\n\nA quick tip for families: there is some poison ivy along the outer edges, so just keep an eye on little ones. With a bit of caution, it’s no issue at all.\n\nWe’ll absolutely be back the next time we’re in Vermont, and we highly recommend this beautiful place to anyone looking for a serene escape." }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kyle K." }, "datePublished": "July 4, 2025", "reviewBody": "Amazing trip.

Both nights we were greeted with 3 horses just after sundown. It was a beautiful and majestic experience. The river spot was amazing and the perfect solution for the hot summer day. The campers staying in the site next to us were super friendly and it was great to spend time with them on the river and inbetween sites. Our dog Romeo was smitten with one of their dogs making for much fun. I definitely recommend this spot. We are already talking about going back. Be sure to stop at Red Hen baking on your trip, delicious sandwiches, bread, coffee ect.
