Our property, Windswept Acres, has been a favorite destination for literally generations of visitors, whether staying in a room in the farmhouse, a bunk in the barn, or "glamping" in our Sugar House. One of those decades-long regulars asked several years ago whether they could locate their RV next to the road on a knoll overlooking our upper pond, and we told them "sure". They own a building company, and were good enough to bring a crew up to prepare the site. They laid pipes to one of our spring-fed wells for water, conduit for both electricity and phone, dug a dry well for grey-water, and moved onto the site for several years. After then they chose to move to a traditional structure further up the hill, and left behind a fully-equipped spot perfect for campers and RVs that we have offered to visiting family and guests! Easily accessible from a dirt road, your shaded site overlooks an acre pond. You are surrounded by lawns, open fields and hills with a small barn across the road from you. The pastures support horses, cattle, sheep and chickens in your neighborhood. The ponds are both great for fishing, and the large one for swimming and canoeing as well. There are trails through the woods and logging roads to be explored on foot or bike. A walk up to the top of the hill affords near-360-degree views. [Note for RV/trailer users: We are at the top of a 1.7 mile hill, of which more than a mile is dirt and the last half die or so is steep. We do NOT recommend pulling anything up this hill with front wheel drive vehicles, especially in wet conditions. If there is any question, be sure to message us for more info.] [Note for GPS-reliers: some GPS devices try to send people up the back side of the hill, which is not an adequate road for any RV or even some cars. Your route should take you to Beacon Hill Road via VT route 110. it should NOT take you to Beacon Hill Road via Brook Road!] Guests are expected to observe full COVID-19 precautions. We cannot accept bookings from high-infection-rate areas at this time. When requesting to book our site, please tell me what county you're from so we can screen guests accordingly.

Windswept Acres Camp
An absolute gem
We’ve been coming here for twelve years and introduced many friends to this serene, stunning place. We have boys and they’ve brought friends, we’ve gone with other families, and also with just our family of four. The peace and beauty are unparalleled. Reading, swimming (in the summer), hiking, fishing, and enjoying hours fireside with and without music…it doesn't get any better. Bring games, balls, and food, then just sit back and enjoy the peace and natural beauty. Sara and Doc will ensure you have anything you need, and also leave you to enjoy their lovingly cared for land in whatever way you want to.

Hosts were accommodating and kind. Property was beautiful and peaceful. Great getaway for the weekend. Lots of small bass kept the kids busy all weekend fishing. Star gazing was fantastic with almost no light pollution. Highly recommend

Windswept Acres is a simply gorgeous property! We were able to get our 25 foot travel trailer to the site for breathtaking views. Doc and Sarah were welcoming and friendly and the water, electric, and toilet at the site were great!

A Delightful Farm Land Retreat in V
We had an amazing stay at this charming camping site in Vermont. The farm land setting was picturesque, and we loved exploring the fields. The facilities were excellent, and our hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming. It was a peaceful escape from city life, and we can't wait to go back. Highly recommended!
