Bikepacking the Green Mountains

Bikepacking through the Green Mountains and this site was exactly what we needed, and more than expected. The outhouse was clean and comfortable, there was a water spigot and even a little closed-in charging station. Thanks Jolene for having us last minute and for the great communication!

This is a nice site conveniently close to Bristol. It looks to be an open lot in between 2 homes (1 is the host's I believe). You are not in the wilderness, but you have sufficient privacy to have a nice camping experience. The front half of the lot is grass, and the back half is woods. They have put some effort into making the site nicer -- stylish fencing, pathway lighting, one of the cleanest pit toilets I've seen, etc. Things to be aware of: - It was buggy while we were there, so bring your spray - There is a rooster next door that starts his day very early - There is some traffic on the road about 50 yards from where your tent is set up. It wasn't loud enough to bother us, but again this is not the wilderness We had a great stay despite the earlier than desired wakeup by the rooster.
