Huntington Open Women's Land

10 sites ¡ Tents50 acres ¡ Huntington, VT
Eclipse weekend is coming! Come and see the eclipse from our beautiful location in rural Vermont! A total Solar Eclipse will be taking place on the afternoon of Monday, April 8th. Men are not allowed at HOWL (with the exception of trans men). Thanks! In April, we'll still be in winter camping mode. It will be early spring in Vermont, and a variety of weather is possible. We're likely to have snow, rain, and/or mud. It's also likely to be windy, and if that’s the case, it will feel colder than it is. Please plan accordingly, and know that the eclipse might not be visible (but it will get really dark in the middle of the afternoon!) . Bring warm clothes, layers, a raincoat or snow shell, and sturdy shoes/boots. Eclipse viewing glasses will be available free of charge at the check-in station. Recently, Vermont has experienced catastrophic flooding & wind storms, leaving many trees unstable and broken tree limbs stuck in the canopy overhead. All visitors to HOWL understand that activity is at their own risk and take responsibility for checking overhead canopy for unstable trees before walking underneath. Hammock campers especially need to be careful. HOWL is a non-profit land trust held in perpetuity for the full diversity of women, regardless of gender assigned at birth, and transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive individuals. We are an intentional community working to create an alternative to systemic oppression and patriarchy. We work collectively to preserve and steward the land, to provide space for community building, service, and skill-sharing, and to collaborate in projects and programming that reflect our shared values of intersectional feminism, compassion, respect, sustainability, and love of the earth.

We live in this 1830's farmhouse and travel with our Airstream Basecamp 20X.

The best camping near Woods Island State Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Woods Island State Park, where the allure of remote camping awaits. Accessible only by boat, this park offers a tranquil escape with five secluded tent sites. Immerse yourself in nature as you hike the Island Loop Trail, swim in the pristine waters of Lake Champlain, or cast a line into the abundant fishing spots. Experience the serenity of island life, where the only footprints you'll find in the sand are your own.

Notable campgrounds

  • Secluded Shoreline Sites: Nestled along the water's edge, these campsites offer serene lake views and a peaceful retreat.
  • Island Loop Trail Campsites: After a scenic hike, settle into these campsites surrounded by the island's natural beauty.
  • Wooded Hideaways: Tucked away amid the island's lush foliage, these sites provide a private woodland experience.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, as reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance to secure your ideal spot.
  • Consider a midweek stay for better availability and a quieter camping experience.
  • Keep an eye on cancellations, especially during peak season, for last-minute opportunities.
  • Explore nearby camping options at Kill Kare State Park for additional accommodations.

When to go

The best time to visit Woods Island State Park is from the Friday of Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend, when the park is open and fully operational. Outside of these dates, the park is closed, and the weather can be less predictable, making access to the island more challenging.

Know before you go

  • Prepare for a true outdoor adventure, as the park is only accessible by boat with no ferry service provided.
  • Carry in and carry out all items, including trash, to maintain the park's pristine condition.
  • Be aware that there are no potable water sources on the island, so bring sufficient supplies.
  • Check the weather and lake conditions before your visit, as they can affect access to the island.
  • Remember to reserve your campsite in advance, as the park operates on a reservation-only basis for designated sites.
