Sweet Song Acres

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents100 acres ¡ NH
Sweet Song Acres is 100+ acres of secluded forest nestled along the Little Sugar River, at the base of Perry Mountain. Located in rural Unity, NH and Charlestown, NH, just across the Vermont state line. Southernmost point, located in Charlestown is one of two campsites. The other is Shady Grove, located in Unity. The two sites, located in bordering towns share the same entrance and are connected by a 1/4 mile trail. Both are very large sites. Campers would drive to both sites down a trail so we highly recommend a vehicle with decent clearance and 4WD or AWD. Southernmost Point is a fully drive-in site. Shady Grove campers park above the site and the campsite is down a short path, just a few hundred feet or so. The property consists of varied terrain of rock ledges, lush moss, streams, and panoramic views at the summit. There are many options of local outdoor activities in the area or if you prefer, just sit and "listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock your soul".

Quarry Brook

4 sites ¡ Lodging, Tents100 acres ¡ Putney, VT
It all started on a first date in Boston....Nick had to excuse himself to take a phone call. His cow had fled its pasture. Much to Tara's surprise in that moment, this man she had just met was finishing his engineering degree at Northeastern, but was simultaneously building a homestead in Vermont. Fast forward 7 years, and here we are, building the life we only dreamed of. We yearned for simplicity. Deeper connections to our surroundings and mother nature. A calmer sense of place. The satisfaction that comes from growing food. Creating with our hands. We're a working farm and homestead. Every day at Quarry Brook is a new adventure, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re incredibly excited to share our little corner of southern Vermont and what we’re up to with you!

The best camping near Coolidge State Park guide

Overview

About

Looking to really escape? A trip to Coolidge State Park is like taking a ride in the DeLorean: known for its authentic, rustic vibes, it remains remarkably unchanged from when it was built in the 1930s. Many of the campsites provide dramatic, “pano”-worthy views of the Black River Valley and the Green Mountains.

Coolidge State Park is the developed recreation hub of the 21,500-acre Calvin Coolidge State Forest, the largest state-owned land holding in central Vermont. Coolidge State Park boasts an entire loop of remote, lean-to campsites, which are great for escaping that freak, summer hail storm you didn’t prepare for. There’s miles of hiking trails to explore, several trout-bearing streams and oodles of wildlife. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a black bear!

Notable campgrounds

  • Coolidge State Park Campground - A forested haven with sites for tents and RVs, surrounded by picturesque views.
  • Lean-to Sites - Rustic shelters providing a unique camping experience amid the park's natural splendor.
  • Cabins - Cozy accommodations that offer a touch of comfort in the great outdoors.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot, as campsites fill up quickly during peak seasons.
  • Consider mid-week stays for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Check for cancellations regularly, as last-minute openings can occur.
  • Explore nearby camping options to increase your chances of finding a site.

When to go

The best time to visit Coolidge State Park is during the summer and fall months, when the weather is ideal for outdoor activities and the foliage is in full display. Winter brings a quiet beauty, but be prepared for cold temperatures and limited access.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's operating schedule for current hours and any seasonal closures.
  • Review safety guidelines, especially if you plan to hike or engage in water activities.
  • Accessibility varies across the park, so inquire ahead if you have specific needs.
  • Day use fees apply, and passes can be purchased for frequent visits.
  • Pets are welcome in designated day use areas, but be sure to follow park rules.
