4. Ballou Mountain Base Camp

41mi from Belchertown · 1 site · Tent, RV · West Halifax, VT

Experience Lower Ballou Mountain at the Base Camp Located in West Halifax, a small Southern Vermont town just north of the Massachusetts border, Base Camp sits along the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers (VAST) trail, tucked into the side of Ballou Mountain—one of many breathtaking peaks in the Green Mountains. The views here never fail to leave visitors enamored. Set up for primitive camping, Base Camp is a clean slate for anyone seeking the peace and quiet of the Vermont woods. The site is not equipped for RV hookups or indoor amenities. But what it lacks in facilities, it more than makes up for with direct access to incredible local hiking and easy on/off access to the VAST trail, which leads to the summit of our beloved Ballou Mountain. Bring your mountain bikes or ATVs and get exploring! Adventure at Base Camp is rewarding year-round. In the warmer months, pack your swimming gear for a dip at nearby South Pond—a perfect spot for kayaking as well. Don’t forget to stock up on supplies in Greenfield, MA (about 30 minutes away), or from one of the many local farm stands before heading off the grid. (Technically off the grid—but yes, there’s cell service here for those who can’t go fully unplugged!) As kids, we both spent countless hours exploring the woods, soaking up everything nature had to offer. Now, as adults and partners, we’re grateful to share that same love of the outdoors with others. With the support of our wonderful Vermont neighbors—who take pride in doing things the right way—we’ve built a retreat that embodies serenity. Perched on Ballou Mountain, Base Camp is more than just a campsite—it’s an invitation. Come and see for yourself.

Weekend Trip to Maple Corner Farm

This site was perfect for us! We came with our dogs and they loved running around on the trails and in the fields - the site had a picnic table and cooking area, and we grabbed firewood, eggs, maple syrup and a few other goodies from the farm stand on the way in. David and his family were amazing hosts, checking in periodically to see if we needed anything to make our stay even more comfortable. We took advantage of the permanent tent at the site and our own tents, both were super fun - we will most definitely be back again, thank you David and family!

Justine was a phenomenal host. I️ could not have asked for a more relaxed experience or environment. Better than what I️ had intended. The cabin was clean, cozy and full of characters. Justine greeted us with warmth and hospitality upon arrival. She was also quick to help us when needing anything. Also I️ would like to thank you for being welcoming to our dog, Sage. I’m so grateful she was able to join us on such a lovely experience.

Great place to stay, very scenic, historic, and private farm that is family run for generations. We ended up switching to another spot last minute and David was able to accommodate, we had a whole back hay field to ourselves and our dogs for the whole weekend. Incredibly tranquil setting for a weekend getaway to nature!

Enjoyed Judith’s place so much! On the water and anything you need from a store is just 15 minutes away. Judy was a responsive and accommodating host. A joy to deal with. Look forward to returning, and I’ll make sure to bring my hammock next time.

🤩 Wow! Next time I’d like to explore these trails because it’s going to take a couple days. The property is huge. If you’re having guest not from the East Coast, I’d come here to have them visit to get the true taste of New England here.

David’s secluded camp site was absolutely the best site I have stayed at ALL summer. Quiet, convenient, and just what I needed. The dogs were living their best life for the duration of our stay. What surprised me the most about the site was the lack of mosquitoes, flying knats and ants??!! Lots of big spiders, eating healthy! It was great to not smell of deet or citronella☺️ I highly recommend spending a few nights here, best decision I made😀thanx David!!!

Weekend Trip to Magpie and Jaebird's Little A-frame

This site is a dream. Jae will send you a list of nearby attractions to visit but you will not at all want to leave the magic of the A-frame. The spot is perfectly secluded, simultaneously buried in the woods and full of sunlight, quiet and clean — it was the most rejuvenating weekend escape from the city (my partner and I both slept better than we have in a long time!) The citronella torches kept the mosquitos away, the toilet was easy and clean, and Jae gives you everything you might need (toilet paper, camp stove, water for drinking, water for washing, etc). Will be recommending this site to all of my friends!! Thank you Jae!

Weekend Trip to Maple Corner Farm

The site here at Maple Corner Farm is truly a delight for people who like CAMPING. They were so accommodating when we arrived, helping us get well water onsite and providing a solar-heated shower bag for our use (and a plastic camp toilet). Although wood was available for purchase at the farm store, they gave us the OK to go looking for wood in the forest and burn anything we find on the ground - so we did, and had no issue finding logs, kindling, etc. to keep the fire going all weekend. The trails are a little overgrown, but anyone with long pants and bug spray will have no issue walking through the areas with taller grass/a few patches of low-to-the-ground ferns along the trails. The nearby campsite with a natural swimming hole was unoccupied so we got to dabble there a bit, and the meadow was huge and open - we set up a blanket and telescope at night for stargazing, and brought binoculars to birdwatch over the meadow during the day. We saw hawks, baby turkeys, ospreys, owls, and crows - along with a few frogs, monarch butterflies and some brave chipmunks. Altogether, it felt very safe yet remote, we were free to roam the farm, and had a super authentic camping experience. The mattresses and bunk bed in our canvas tent were a huge plus, as well as the shower attached to the outhouse. There is a military base and airport nearby so we saw some cool planes, fighter jets, and heard bombs at one point. We’ll be back and likely will rent both sites that border the meadow!

Our stay was the perfect reset and refresh we needed! The A frame was super cozy and had all the essentials and then some. It was the perfect mix of peaceful seclusion while still being just a short walk or drive from anything we needed. Jae was a great host, giving us complete privacy but remaining reachable if anything came up. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot.

The site was well kept & maintained. There was plenty of wood available from downed trees for a fire. This campsite really gave us the opportunity to "rough it" like we planned. The site was barebones as advertised & tucked away in the back of this huge clearing which have a great view of the stars at night There were many trails in the area & cell service was very reliable. I recommend bringing a table in case you want to cook or prepare items

We stayed at Maple Corner Farm this past weekend and could not have been happier with our experience. We chose the Meadow site and wanted privacy and space for our 110 pound dog who can be a little iffy with strangers and this site was perfect. The canvas tent with queen bunk beds was perfect for our family of 3 and the covered awning was great for shade. We had brought a screen tent knowing how buggy it might be because we also live in the woods. There was a delightful swimming hole just a couple minutes walk down the road that was amazing to cool off in. David was a great host and he is running a 5 star spot for sure!

Weekend Trip to Sip Pond Lakefront Cottage

Judy's cottage on Sip Pond was the perfect weekend stay for us and our water-loving dog. We brought most of our camping supplies but were pleasantly surprised when the cottage had basically everything we needed (cooking utensils, plates, towels, etc.). It was so nice to have drinking water, clean and comfy bed, and clean porta-potty. Waking up to gorgeous pond views was such a treat. Sip Pond is wonderful - we spent all day on the water, kayaking and fishing. The neighbors that we bumped into were extremely kind and welcoming. We wished we stayed longer! We hope to come stay at the cottage and enjoy the pond again at some point.
