Weekend Trip to Know Town

Lovely space on the river, host is kind and thorough. Highly recommend this off the grid getaway!

Weekend Trip to Woodbury Meadows

Jon and Ann are great hosts, very welcoming and they offer some great facilities. It was so nice to have a hot shower and proper outhouse. The views from pitch 2 were lovely, close to the road but, not busy. The pitch size is good with room for the tent car and a picnic table without feeling squeezed in. I would note Pitch 2 and 3 are very close to each other. We stayed because we wanted to cycle the muddy onion route, and the site is right on it, so perfect for this. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your land.

2 nights at Black Creek Maple Off Grid Camp

Awesome view from my little cabin. Dianne is a great host and has beautiful land. I’d recommend this place 10 out of 10 times to anyone. I will be back for sure.

2 nights at Black Creek Maple Off Grid Camp

We loved camping at Dianne’s place. The site was well maintained with plenty of space between pitches. Very quiet, we could relax and enjoy nature. The night sky was amazing, with great stargazing. Dianne was a great host kept in touch and visited when we arrived to check we had everything. Very close to the Lamoille rail trail, which we explored. We will definitely be back for another stay. Thank you for sharing your land Dianne.

2 nights at Know Town

The dome at Know Town is extraordinary! The hosts were very kind and helpful. They greeted us and showed us around. They have an amazing set up. Much care and creativity has gone into the area. The dome is set up practically and nicely. It has everything you need and more to make it homey and comfortable. In fact, they finished the outdoor sink the morning of our arrival…made cleaning dishes and washing up easy. The natural setting is beautiful. We always go to Vermont in the summer to swim in its holes. The holes in the brook were crystal clear and easy to get into. The whole area is quiet and peaceful. We will have to come back!

1 night at Woodbury Meadows

Woodbury Meadows is a perfect spot for bike packers. I've stayed with them three years in a row for a seasonal tour through the NEK and look forward to our last night there every year. Thanks for being great hosts!

Weekend Trip to Know Town

This dome is great! Large and spacious. You are out in nature, but with a dash of convenience. A perfect place for the last minute get away that I booked with my wife. Watching fireflies while inside is pretty cool.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Retreat and Tiny Cabin

Great spot! Robbin is a very responsive and kind host. Site was right on the river and very peaceful, perfect for post-biking cool down. The two sites were visible to each other but decent distance between, we were the only group so felt huge/private! Blackberry bushes ripe for the picking. Close to town and a short drive to the Slate Valley MTB trails. Would camp here again! Steep hill if driving up and down but fine with AWD, could have also left the car parked up at the top by the road.

Weekend Trip to Black Creek Maple Off Grid Camp

Had a great stay at Black Creek Maple. Beautiful flower field and nice campsites with a composting toilet and water available. Our originally site was on the side of the hill (#3) and too slanted for tent camping. Dianne was super accommodating and we were able to relocated to the site on top of the hill. She also kindly provided us with a foldable table and chairs as we were bikepacking. Beautiful location and very kind host!

Weekend Trip to Riverside Retreat and Tiny Cabin

Robin was very helpful and quickly responded to my communication. We stayed there to go to the Pond Hill Rodeo and it was perfect. Great hosts!

Weekend Trip to Black Creek Maple Off Grid Camp

Probably one of the prettiest campsites I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at would recommend. Definitely will be staying here again in the future

1 night at BlueberryHill Field Camp

The Bed in the Shed at Blueberry Hill was perfect, a private minimalist oasis in the Green Mountains, with the nicest hosts and great amenities. The shower and wifi and access to an adjacent building made for a great experience. 10/10, I definitely will return.

4 nights at Hogback Homestead

🌲 A Hidden Gem in the Green Mountains! 🌲 I can’t say enough good things about Hogback Homestead. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I’d stepped into a Vermont dream. The property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by forested trails, wildflowers, and the gentle sounds of nature. It’s the perfect balance of rustic charm and comfort. The hosts are incredibly warm and welcoming—true Vermonters with a deep love for the land. They made sure I had everything I needed, shared tips on local spots. The campsite was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully laid out, with firewood ready and stunning views at sunset. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat, a base for hiking and exploring, or just a place to unplug and reconnect, this is it. Can’t wait to return—Hogback Homestead is a special place that stays with you long after you leave.

2 nights at Islands Base Camp

We absolutely loved our stay! Joan is such a warm and welcoming host….truly a gem. I’m so grateful we found this spot on Hipcamp, especially since we arrived during a complete downpour. The covered shed was a total lifesaver being able to pull our car in, set up our tent, and stay dry made all the difference. The farm is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and feels like a hidden retreat. It’s also a quick and easy drive into Burlington, which was perfect for day trips. This was also the perfect spot to camp with kids, plenty of space to explore and roam. Just keep an eye on little ones near the electric fence (a good reminder for curious hands!). And can we talk about the porta potty? Super clean…..a rare and much-appreciated bonus. I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, quiet, and convenient getaway.

2 nights at Free Verse Farm

The view was great, and it was very private. Have a car with 4/AWD as the roads up to the site are no joke. The nearby town is awesome too. Watch for ticks!

1 night at Woodbury Meadows

My husband and I were so grateful that Jon and Ann accepted our last minute reservation! After a slew of events at our previous location, we needed new scenery to wrap up our long weekend away. From the moment we arrived, peace washed over us as sounds of nature are abundant. The view from our site was spectacular as we watched the moon rise and the stars come out. This experience beckoned us to come back so we could explore the area!

My husband and I loved being able to stay at The Dome with our pups for a night. The river is absolutely beautiful, we went in the swimming home as well as the falls. The property is private, well taken care of and soooo peaceful! The Dome took out breaths away. We knew it was still a work in progress but we absolutely loved it. We’ll be back here in no time! Thank you for having us.

1 night at Fern Hollow

A great stop on the GMGG. Very peaceful. We took a short walk to a public access on the Mad River for a welcomed rinsing off.

4 nights at Vast private oasis

We went over July 4th and were treated to a spectacular fireworks show put on by the neighboring golf course. The site is in a perfect location with the most stunning views of the mountains! Would highly recommend a visit!

Harold's View Farm

Former Dairy Farm but, the milking and hay barns burned many years Past. Harold's View Farm now camping. There are 4 entrances to the 80 acres of hay fields, now camping sites. Three entrances are for two sites each, the house entrance is for any questions. Please stop in if you have questions. The fields have been maintained to some degree until 2019 when Lee came up with the idea of primitive camping. The land turns out to be ideal because each site makes you feel like the only campers there. New this year you will find a picnic table for 6 and a 3 Ft. dia. fire pit with adjustable grill that flips out for open fire @ each site. Another new item is open to the sky "Hot Shower"

Islands Base Camp

2 sites · RVs, Tents180 acres · South Hero, VT

Conserved by the South Hero Land Trust, the historic Sawyer Bay Farm on the Island of South Hero was converted to grazing beef cattle. Our farm name is Health Hero Farm. We practice intensive planned grazing, moving the cattle daily to fresh grass. The herd may be near the campsites or completely out of sight, somewhere on our 180 acres. While we were building a house, we camped in the equipment shed during the summer and grew to value its convenience. Joan's enjoyment of cycling inspired her to designate the farm stand as a "bike stop" where visitors could buy a snack, get water, fix their bikes and use the unique islands amenity of a composing toilet in a converted ice fishing shack. South Hero is an agricultural island, as well as a summer tourist destination with numerous outdoor activities. It is also only a half-hour away from Burlington, and the drive is pleasurable. Pitch your tent, stow your gear under cover and explore all the islands have to offer. Yes, this is a summer destination, with great cycling, boating and swimming. We are a grass-fed beef operation, Health Hero Farm, on the island of South Hero. (You can read more about us on our farm website. ) Our farm is on the bike route around the islands, with access to many other vacation activities. Pitch your tent in the farmstead or in half of our empty equipment shed 30' x 60'. Or tool on down the farm road and be alone with the cattle and grass. In the shed, which is open on the north side, you have shelter from the rain, sun and wind. We have two campsites that can share a microwave, hot plate, refrigerator, camp sink and coffee maker in the barn. Lots of storage under roof for bikes and luggage. Our composting toilet (from Natures Head Composting Toilet) is a unique amenity -- installed in a retired ice-fishing shack (on skis). During the busy summer months, we may have a port-o-let (a.k.a. port-a-potty) with professional service. In the winter, the equipment shed not available. We rent out vehicle and boat storage in the equipment shed and cannot accommodate camping there. However, we have ample parking for RVs at any time of the year.

It is difficult to access, but affords privacy and serenity. We allow campfires on the gravel areas of the farm and on the beach, where you can gather dead wood.

Camping in Button Bay State Park guide

Overview

About

Pack up the sunscreen, don your coolest sunglasses and embark on a trip to Button Bay State Park. On a bright sunny day, it doesn’t get much better than this! Located on a bluff along the famous Lake Champlain, beauty is basically the park’s middle name. No wonder historical greats like Ben Franklin and Benedict Arnold visited this place!

When you get here, you can sail, go fishing or just chill out really hard. The key to chilling really hard is actually making sure nothing is hard at all: have your drink within arms reach and rotate every 30 minutes for an even tan. Oh, and those cool sunglasses you grabbed earlier will help too. Speaking of cool, don’t forget to check out the button-like concretions formed by clay deposits that are found along the shoreline. These interesting formations gave the park its name.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Button Bay State Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the park is in full bloom. Fall also offers a spectacular display of foliage. Winters can be harsh, and some facilities may be closed, so it's less advisable for visits during this season.

Know before you go

Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Be aware of park operating hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities within these times.
Remember to pack essentials like water, sunscreen, and insect repellent for a comfortable day out.
Stay informed about any trail closures or special advisories by checking the park's official website or contacting the park office.
Facilities such as restrooms and picnic areas are available, but it's wise to confirm their accessibility during your planned visit.

Button Bay Campground

If you're going here: http://www.champlainmakerfaire.com/ and really, you should, this is the closest and most beautiful campground in the area. There's a dog trail and a dog beach, and the water is usually still warm enough to swim in September.
