Primitive camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Surrounded on three sides by two brooks and the Dog River, our property covers a bit more than one acre in size. It is situated on a residential road in Riverton (or West Berlin), VT, near route 12, just six miles south of Montpelier, and four miles north of Northfield. So it's rural, but still very close to grocery shopping and laundromat. We have electrical hook-up available. From mid-July through late October, here is WIFI available although the signal is not strong up by the electrical hook-up. It's strongest towards the river. Mountain bike trails are close by. Boyer State Forest is two miles away (for hiking and biking). Norwich University, five miles away in Northfield, has hiking and biking trails. Ellie's Farm Market (one mile distance) has local organic produce in season as well as local cheese and maple products. NOTE: Previous campers have suggested that future campers NOT use Crosstown Road to get here, no matter what your GPS says. One weather event makes it VERY unfriendly to RV's.Please note: Currently, there is no availability of electricity, running water, or internet at Dog River Run. Site #1 is on high ground and safe from flooding. Please REMAIN ON HIGH GROUND next to the road to avoid getting stuck in mud/softer ground. We do not offer water or sewage hookup which is why we are limited to RV's; however, a tent accompanied by an RV would be most welcome.

Site 1

Easy access, right off paved road

Holly is warm, welcoming and helpful! We had the more “open field” site #1 (closest to electrical hook up), which was great for us. Being open makes it easy for any type of RV to get positioned quickly and easily. The other site is long and narrow, trees/shrubs on both sides, a bit lower ground level and tucked in with more privacy. We traveled in a pop up, so the open field area site #1 was perfect for us. There is a gentle grassy, open field slope besides this area - which provided a great safe morning “zoomie-run” area for our two mini Australian Shepherds. The sound of the brook (on one side of the property) was soothing & relaxing. The property is near a train crossing, so there is a late night cargo train that passes… but it is very brief (maybe 2-3 minutes total) , but we don’t mind the sound of passing trains at all! This location is not far from Montpelier, and close access to RT 89. We had a great experience here!

Holly did a great job helping us get settled in for our two night stay. She was making a run to the grocery store and asked if we needed anything. So thoughtful. She gave us some good suggestions for sightseeing in the area as well. Central location for Montpelier, Stowe, Waterbury, and even Burlington is within an hour’s drive.

Excellent Host

Our host Holly was very nice and even provided us a free 5 gallon container fresh water without even asking! Really great stop

Holly and her husband were so welcoming and accommodating. There is a creek that flows to the river on the side of the property. The soft sounds of the creek, along with the view of the mountains and proximity to Montpellier make this a great spot. Bonus points for being near several covered bridges.

Nice campsite, friendly hosts!

Neat and nice, quiet, basic campsite next to a small stream perfect for kids to play in. Holly is really nice and friendly, too. Perfect place to spend a night or two on your way to/from Montreal etc. Really close to Ben&Jerry's factory in Waterbury, VT. Directions were clear, getting in contact with Holly clear, fast and easy!

Nice, fairly primitive camp spot and very nice hosts. We were here just after the rains and had no problem with the grassy spot. Do not let gps take you on Crosstown Rd! Low clearance underpass, steep, winding gravel road with big washouts!!!
