Westford, VT · 6 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Former Dairy Farm but, the milking and hay barns burned many years Past.
Harold's View Farm now camping. There are 4 entrances to the 80 acres of hay fields, now camping sites. Three entrances are for two sites each, the house entrance is for any questions. Please stop in if you have questions.
The fields have been maintained to some degree until 2019 when Lee came up with the idea of primitive camping. The land turns out to be ideal because each site makes you feel like the only campers there.
New this year you will find a picnic table for 6 and a 3 Ft. dia. fire pit with adjustable grill that flips out for open fire @ each site.
Another new item is open to the sky "Hot Shower"

Wolcott, VT · 7 sites · Tents, RVs
This 150-acre property has been in our family for 32 years and now houses three generations.
Built in 1900 it was a traditional dairy farm until the 50's and 60's when potatoes were planted on the fields for the Boston and New York markets. By the 70's and 80's it became a gentleman's farm for a retired couple from New York City and the dairy farmers nearby hayed the fields. When we purchased the property in 1993 we continued offering the hay, built greenhouses, planted vegetable and flower gardens, ran a traditional Bed and Breakfast, now airbnb. We leased some of the fields to a local organic seed company for 13 years until they purchased their own property. The farm remains certified organic and is still being hayed by a local dairy farm, the gardens are community managed using regenerative and sustainable practices when ever possible. In the commercial garden, seed crops are being planted once again. Much of the cultivated agricultural land is protected under the Vermont Land Trust, to ensure that it remains used for agricultural purposes.
We love to share our farm and forest with others. In addition to our very intentional farming operations, you can find wild edibles tucked away on forest trails. Wildlife and wildflowers abound. Views and sunsets. Check out the 968 acre wildlife management area that abuts the property. Plenty of trails through the woods leading to Wolcott Pond and hidden beaver huts and dams.
Children 12 and under no charge.
Our little pond behind the big greenhouse has filled up a bit more this spring which you are welcome to use for dipping or frog watching.
Carry in and carry out property, Drive on field's edge only. Adhere to quiet hours 10pm-8am
We can host large parties with advance notice.

⛰ 🌲 Drive right to your secluded site and wake to the sound of nature and water in this private retreat, situateon the confluence of 2 rivers. Eventually, once part of a much larger working merino sheep farm owned by the Cobb family in the 1700s-1800’s, part of the land transitioned to a dairy cow farm operation, c.1940. Today, we steward 10 acres specially designed with horses in mind. Adjacent to a 40-acre cornfield on one side and Mt. Cobb on the other, with sweeping views our place overlooks the confluence of the Mad and Winooski Rivers. From here, you can mountain bike or hoof it to access miles of trails and bucolic scenery. Come visit this gateway to the Scenic Mad River Valley!
🌲🏊🐟The Swimming/Fishing/Tenting site ("site 1") is perched directly aside the Mad River and the Sweet Meadow Side site ("site 2") is just a 2-minute walk across the grassy meadow and down the secluded riverside path to our beloved Mad River beach. This is a semi-secluded beach, river's edge, and swimming holes. Swim, tube, fish and relax up or down the river and in the confluence of the Winooski and Mad Rivers..
👢👓 Get curious about the history of this place by checking out the old abandoned Massey Furgeson hay baler tucked in the woods, the Cobb family cemetery, and more gems from many years gone by. Leave from either site on foot to access a sweet trail that travels along the river, over a private bridge, down a beautiful dirt road and into the forest.
🚴 Our property is located on the CROSS VERMONT TRAIL: "a multi-use path connecting communities, and the natural areas in between - across Vermont!"

I love sharing this space with others. I have 3 separate campsites, each with their own pathways and privacy from each other.
Your visit here will allow you many choices of ways to relax.
My land abuts the 700 acres of school property behind me and I have trail and path access right from my yard to many miles of an old road bed for walking, biking, hiking, or exploring the length of the brook.
There is a waterfall across the street.
At least 5 different swimming holes and the water is cold and refreshing!
I am 20 minutes from the state capital, Montpelier, Vt.
You have access to my delicious pure clean spring water from the hose.
There is a pizza/restaurant/bar in my town just 6 minutes away.
Please, no fireworks, you'll get me banned by the town officials!
If you camp here you will feel like you are in a forest, but will be able to drive anywhere with ease.

Exceeded our expectations!
We arrived on a hot summer day
And immediately jumped into the swimming pond which isn’t large but deep enough to be over your head quickly, and with a great view of the mountains
Tami was an excellent host, providing us fresh, drinking water,and she gave us permission to pick raspberries to eat with our breakfast.

This little spot has the most epic view of Camel’s Hump! I was in love for the short time I stayed. Tami was super accommodating on short notice when I couldn’t find a place to stay on a busy Friday night during my Vermont road trip. Yes, it is in her backyard but it is elevated above the rest of the yard and feels quite private, with a barrier of greenery on both sides. The neighbors are quite a ways away. I hope to come back soon!

3 nights at The Hollow at Dynamite Falls
My husband and I had a memorable time at Chapin’s place. He has an incredible set up. The tent was roomy and everything inside was practical. It was stocked with plenty of wood for the fire pits and chiminea. We were able to cook breakfast and eat out on the picnic table. The hot tub was a welcome treat after spending hours hiking and swimming. The swim holes and waterfalls were beautiful and the water. Was crystal clear. Even the privy had a view! We have stayed at several Hipcamp places, and this is our favorite. We will be back!

I had a really nice chat with Tami when I arrived. The site was flat, shady in the afternoon, and private. The view was amazing, and it was dark and mostly quiet after sunset. There's a road nearby, but it's not used much and the lights from the cars don't make it through the trees. Easy to access in a Honda Fit. I had a very relaxing time and beat the extreme heat of that weekend sitting in the shade.
A meadow and some trees obscured the view from Tami's house, a neighbor's house, and the road, so it might be less private in winter and early spring when the plants are hibernating.

I booked this vacation in March and basically forgot about it until it was time to venture up to VT. We were blown away by the zip line, private swimming hole and all the thoughtful touches put in by Chapin and his family.
Our dog LOVED being off leash to explore the hollow and surrounding areas, and it was private enough to not be worried about bothering anyone.
The hot tub was a nice touch, despite us visiting during a heat wave the temps got low enough at night and in the morning to use it! When it got too hot midday, we'd cool off in the swimming hole. It was perfect.
Having a queen sized bed to fall asleep on was amazing. We woke up to thunderstorms and torrential downpours the first night but stayed completely dry in the tent. The rushing water is like white noise which helped my daughter sleep later so I got some time to myself in the mornings.
Also probably because of the excessive heat - at certain angles on hot days you can really smell the privy as you walk from the water up to the tent.
We're already planning a return trip!

Katherine’s land was breathtaking. The pictures can’t accurately show just how extraordinary it really is.. Kathy was warm and friendly, a perfect host. She went over all the need to knows, and then gave us the local scoop on where to hike and swim. The campsite was absolutely serene. It was very private, far more than a state park would be. Everything was simply lovely. 10/10. I’ve lived in Vermont a long time, and this is definitely a hidden gem. This was my best friend’s first trip to Vermont, and I feel like Kathy’s place really showed the slice of heaven Vermont is. Everything you need is right there. It’s very easy to get in and get out. I cannot stress enough how much better this was than we even anticipated. It’s simply gorgeous! This is a spot you don’t want to miss. I will be back soon for sure!

Wow. What a special place to stay. Chapin’s land is located on a mountainside with a beautiful brook running though it. This is the perfect place to disconnect. You won’t have service either way! There are hammocks to lounge, a zip line, multiple fire pits on the premise, and hidden swim spots along the brook for those willing to venture. The heavy canvas tent has a cozy bed along with a couple tables, candles, and lantern.
My dogs loved hunting for rocks and swimming in the brook while we sat by the brook. The hike to the top of the property was worth it, because you’ll find a trove of views and hidden swim spots along the way. My only regret was not staying long enough to use the hot tub! Thank you for the great experience Chapin. We’ll be back.

Where to go
New York Shore
Wild forests and dreamy lake views await on the west shore of Lake Champlain, and boaters and hikers will be in their element. Explore the Lake Champlain Valley by bike or on foot, enjoy some of the region’s best bass fishing, or come in winter to enjoy snowshoeing, ice fishing, and ice skating. Plattsburgh is the largest city on the New York side, from where ferries run to Vermont, but you’ll find RV parks and campgrounds dotting the lakeshore.
Adirondacks High Peaks
The forest-clad mountains and wilderness areas of the vast Adirondacks park lie just west of Lake Champlain, where you can scale the High Peaks, kayak or whitewater raft along the rivers, and marvel at some of New York’s best fall foliage views. There are RV sites with full hookups and glamping options to be found in the Adirondacks, but for a back-to-nature camping trip, opt for a backcountry tent site in the heart of the wilderness.
Vermont
Lake Champlain’s eastern shore lies in Vermont, framed by the verdant hills of the Green Mountains. The lakeside towns of Burlington, Shelburne, and Colchester all make strategic basecamps from which to explore the lake, or you can take your pick of 13 Vermont state parks around the lake. Cruising out to the Lake Champlain Islands is a must, and Grand Isle State Park on South Hero Island has one of the region’s most popular campgrounds. An added bonus: Campers get free beach access in Knight Point State Park on North Hero Island.
Montreal & Quebec
Lake Champlain’s northern shore spills over into the Canadian province of Quebec, fringed by sandy beaches, lush parks, and marinas. Head to Venise-en-Quebec to enjoy water sports and boat cruises through the summer months, or base yourself in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu along the Richelieu River. Both have options for campers.
