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).

Elisa's campsite is renowned for its privacy, cleanliness, and beautiful surroundings, creating an idyllic retreat for campers. Many guests praised the pristine condition of the outhouse and the ease of access to the lake, perfect for swimming and canoeing. Elisa is noted as a welcoming and attentive host, ensuring visitors have a seamless experience. However, there was a concern about communication and refunds when weather conditions led to a cancellation.

Camping at Elisa's hipcamp was wonderful. The campsite was open and clean and the property owner was around to help guide me as I backed my camper in (because that is not my strong suit). The teens I had camping with me had an excellent time swimming and paddleboarding. Great place to camp.

Awesome location on a magical la

13 ft pop-up camper · With pets

This is our second stay at Elisa’s Hipcamp and just like our stay last year it was wonderful. This time we were able to get out on the water in the provided canoe and take advantage of a calm day on the lake. At night we enjoyed our dinner around the campfire listening to loons, owls and tree frogs. Elisa is a great host who is quick to respond to communications and will make your stay very enjoyable. We highly recommend this Hipcamp!

We contacted Elisa to ask if we could use this site to go canoeing. She agreed and we completed the reservation. Around 5AM on the morning of, I received a text telling us not to come due to high winds, so we didn’t go. I asked for a refund because it was the host who advised us not to show up. I still have not received a refund or response from Elisa and we never got to use our reservation. At first I appreciated the heads up and genuinely thought she was just looking out, but now we feel scammed and would advise caution to other people booking.

Loved our stay here! Just outside of Morrisville and not too far from Stowe. The outhouse was super clean. We loved waking up near the lake and taking the canoe for a little spin. So beautiful in the fall.

We had an absolute wonderful time! Elisas campsite was perfect and she was so accommodating. The only problem was that we didn't stay at least a couple more nights. We will be back! AMAZING

Really wonderful spot!! Hosts are very welcoming and the sites are awesome. The outhouse was immaculate. Access to the lake was great with the canoe; it’s a fairly large lake to explore and was quite beautiful with the fall colors. We will definitely be back!

Camping on the Res!

Tent

Elisa’s property is amazing! I wanted to camp near/at green river reservoir and this turned out to be the perfect option. It’s tucked into a nice spot on the res with great sense of privacy. It’s also a great option if you don’t have kayaks/canoes to camp out on the state park’s sites . Elisa went out of her way to make us comfortable and also provided us peace and quiet to enjoy our time. It’s a very short walk to the site from the car, just 2 min walking, and the spot is great for swimming and the canoe is a great addition. One note is that Google Maps has the wrong location (it brings you to Puckerbrush West off of Center Road 15 min away). My Maps app on my iPhone has the correct location though. It’s off of Garfield road onto Stevens Lane, and then bear left onto Patnoe farm. I can’t wait to be back!

Camping next to fabulous canoing

20 ft campervan

Lovely quiet spot. Great amenities. Relatively flat parking space for our van. Only had to use two levelers. Comfortable and clean outhouse. A very chill location...bring your most comfortable chairs for lounging. Easy river access via a path down to the waters edge to amazing paddling. The aluminum canoe provided was a plus. Very beautiful surrounding area to explore. Recommend Elmore Mountain hike. We would go back and bring tent camping friends to use the included camping site by the water. Highly recommend!

One of the best campsites I've stayed at! Picnic tables at both the upper and lower areas was very helpful for food and fire prep, flat area for tent setup, plenty of trees for hammocks, and easy access for swimming. Also very private! If you're thinking of staying here, consider this your sign to stop looking for other places and book here!

Quiet and Peaceful Stay!

Tent

Very nice site to set up your tent. Owners are welcoming and very helpful. The site is right on a beautiful lake and there are plenty of trees to provide cover, or set up a tarp, if it rains. There is a canoe that you are able to use as well. The site is quiet and very private but close enough (15 minutes) to the small town if you need anything.

We really enjoyed our time here. Elisa’s land was quiet and peaceful. Having access to both spots allowed us to set up our hammocks down by the water to relax and enjoy the views of the lake while having our tent and gear up set up ahead. Elisa was very welcoming and gave a quick little tour of her land while also offering use of their canoe and paddle board, which added more fun to our trip!

Elisa's little hideaway is pretty special. It's a short walk down to the water with canoe access to one of the most private feeling lakes in New England. She was great to communicate with and the site is very private feeling.

10/10!

Tent

Elisa's campsite was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Not only did we have access to the entirety of both sites. But it was private and so peaceful. Elisa was a very accommodating host, willing to lead us to the campsite after dark. Our favorite part was the access to Green River Reservoir with Elisa's canoe. We would most definitely come back here!

Elisa’s spot on the Green River Res is so perfect! You have an amazing water-side spot to pitch your tent and enjoy the shade coverage on a hot day. Town is not far, where there are some great hikes. It’s a steep walk down to the *amazing* spot by the water, but so worth it. We can’t wait to come back!

2 nights are not enough!

12 ft pop-up camper

Wow! Elisa is an excellent host and their campsite is …. Incredible. Amazing. Beautiful…there honestly aren’t enough words to describe the experience. My only regret is that we did not reserve more nights! The lake is serene, the site is quiet and the pit toilet is clean and relaxing. Wood can be purchased from the host and it is quality long burning and a good value. I seriously can’t recommend this hipcamp enough and I’m already working on scheduling some time for my next visit. Thank you, Elisa, for sharing your beautiful land!
