You have your choice of camping with your van or small RV, small trailer or tent, in a level, forested area (not lakeside) with picnic table and fire pit, or tenting lakeside with water views, picnic table and fire pit, or both! You have access to both, one reservation comes with both spots, so you can enjoy the lakeside regardless of where you sleep. Vehicles cannot reach the tent site, it is a steep trail about a 150 feet.
Although our campsite is near the lake, you cannot drive to the water from the campsite. It is a steep, short hike down to the water. There is one canoe at the campsite you are free to use or bring your own canoes, kayaks and/ or paddle boards to enjoy the superb water. There are no motor boats on the lake, so the paddling and swimming is great.
There are three private homes on the lake, adjacent to where your site it located so we ask that no loud partying, play music only quietly and no generators. There are no campers on either side of your campsite, we only offer one, campsite.
There is a nice, clean outhouse and no other amenities (Tier D in HipCamp-speak). No on-site water but it can be obtained at our house, just ask.
We have a dog on the property, who is friendly and off leash. If having a dog come visit would be a problem for you, please don't make a reservation. If you plan on bringing a dog please let us know. No more than two dogs allowed.

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!]

We absolutely loved our stay at Julie and Jim's land with our pups! The property was beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly private. There was so much to do, from exploring the trails through the woods to relaxing by the water. We especially loved taking out the little pedal boat for a spin. Julie and Jim truly thought of everything to make the stay comfortable, and the bathroom was the best one we have seen on hipcamp yet. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, and we will definitley be back!

This Hipcamp sight was by far the best sight we have ever stayed on. They go above and beyond and absolutely are inspirational with what they have done . It was completely peaceful easy to get to with well marked directions. The grounds were manicured and they had everything we needed to be comfortable. They were very friendly and walked out to meet us after we arrived as if we were old friends. On a scale of 1-5 I give it a six. Perhaps the first sight we have stayed on we could not find anything to improve upon.

This is a great camping site! Very quiet, private, and scenic. There was nice fall color during our visit. Lots of open space too! We were just here for a short weekend and I felt very safe as a solo female camper with my dog. The owner was available if I had questions and saved me a long trip to Walmart by recommending a local store I could go to when I needed to replace some gear that broke. She also had wifi information available so I could check in with people and get directions periodically during my stay. I would usually do that when I walked back towards the house for the bathroom or shower. It’s a couple minute walk from the back of the property where the campsite is. The shower was really lovely in the afternoons since it did get hot during the day during my visit. Because it was so private and the weather was nice we ended up leaving the rain guard off the tent and sleeping in the moonlight which was beautiful. We did swing by Stowe during our visit to walk the recreation path which wasn’t too far (although it felt so loud and bustling after being at the quiet campsite!) and we also went the other direction to Hardwick, Danville, and Dog Mountain in St Johnsbury. We also heard some barred owls while we were there (and lots and lots of geese!)

This is an incredible site! Having access to the lake is incredible and the views all around this area are awesome. Sites were well equipped with fire pits and tables, and the outhouse was clean and comfortable. Elisa’s directions were very accurate and easy to follow. She was very responsive and more than accommodating. Zero complaints, we had a great stay.

Julie and Jim have done an outstanding job with Bumpa’s! Love all of the thought and details. The site is very private. the view of the pond is wonderful. Screened in pavilion is nice and has drinking water. Outhouse is clean with running water. The view of the pond is so fun and relaxing. We wondered through all of the trails. We did not want to leave and will return for sure! We road our bikes on the rails to trails. It is easy to break it into bits over days. And, we hit lots of breweries. All were very good.

This campsite was Great! My daughter and I stayed at the second site by the water and left our vehicle up at the first site. We got to go out exploring and fishing with the canoe, great weather, nice privacy, and still around 20 mins to all the stores in Stowe if you need any supplies for food. I would recommend this site to anyone. My daughter and I would love to return again and plan a hike at the camels hump!

This is a lovely, quiet and private location! Very beautiful. The land is very steep/hilly so have your sneakers, and you’ll want to be at the lower site as the top site is very removed. You will have to do some hauling, so keep it simple. Elisa was generous and easy to work with. Green River Reservoir is a gem! Much to explore and great swimming.

Another amazing stay for our family at Windswept! Sara and Doc have a beautiful Vermont property and are always spectacular hosts! Each year when we camp (for usually a long weekend), there is so much to enjoy that we never have to leave. We all love spending time swimming and fishing in the pond as well as hiking around the property and nearby farm areas. Our family finds this spot a wonderful place to enjoy all of it's beauty!

The steep rolling hills of Chelsea really represent the best of Vermont. There are great walks on the barely traveled back roads, if you don't mind a workout! The swimming was wonderful, and we enjoyed the ducks, turtles and frogs. Doc and Sarah provide so many amenities for camping- electric outlet, water and hose, very nice outhouse. I loved my week at Windswept Acres.
