All to yourself
100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
My husband and I were nomads in the summer of 2006, and happened upon this property that called to both of us equally. It took us another year to get up here and we're so glad we did. How about we share our good fortune with you (and help us pay our real estate taxes)? We do have bear so all food must be stored inside a vehicle, a bear bag, or in the barn. And check in with enough time to set up BEFORE DARK.Wooded, secluded campsite has an open canopy, letting you watch the night sky. Site has a primitive bucket commode with a seat and overhead shelter. Potable water at barn, with trash, compost, and recycle containers. Food scraps MUST go in compost bucket, not trash. We do have bear, so we ask you to keep all food in your car when you are not actively engaged in cooking and eating it. Coyotes, Fox, chipmunks, ticks et al. You’re in the woods. 30 yards from car parking.
What to expect
Short walk to site
Parking isn't available at the site. You will park a short distance away and walk to the site (1-5 mins)
Tent site
You'll have this Hipcamp all to yourself.
8 guests max
Campfires allowed
Firewood provided, firepit. We have a cleared pack it in/pack it out tent site set among tall birch and balsam fir. Availability for fires will depend upon local conditions.
Toilet available
Portable toilet. We off a primitive shed with a commode with wood shavings.
No pets
We have free range chickens here, so I'm afraid dogs are not allowed. I wish it were different; we love dogs. But they do have powerful instincts.
Potable water available
Hose, pump or well. Across the private road, at the barn, is an outdoor pump with fresh water from our well. You are welcome to refill your containers.
Bins available
Compost bin, recycling bin, trash bin. We do have bear here, so it's important for us to NOT have a garbage can so far from the house. You'll have to store all food in your car. Upon your departure, however, you can deposit recyclables, compost, and trash in marked containers at the barn.
Picnic table present
We added a wooden picnic table in 2020.
No showers
Bathe in lake. You are welcome to take a quick dip in our pond to cool off after an active day.
Cooking equipment absent
No wifi
Laundry absent

Janet was a welcoming host that provided a nice, private place to camp with access to a pond to swim in.

Lovely, secluded campsite in the woods. Potable water and trash (plus recycling and compost) located at the barn, about 300 ft away. The provided firewood was excellent, kept dry underneath a tarp at the site. Picnic table and bench, as well as two Adirondack chairs, were a nice touch. The composting bucket toilet, located under a small permanent structure at the site, was very clean and did not smell at all.

Our host Janet was kind and really helped us 2 tired bikepackers to get the lay of the land/site and quickly get to our camp to set up tents and crash for the night. The highlights were the commode (well maintained with good instructions) and the pond! The view while cycling up the hill to get to the site was stunning as well. Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend. Thank you!

We spent 2 nights at Janet campsite. It is in the woods :) it is lovely. There is also a pond to freshen up but we didn’t use it. We arrived late but thanks to Janet explanation, we didn’t have any issue to find the place We highly recommend!

The land was beautiful and the campsite lovely. Beyond that, Janet was extremely helpful when the skies poured their contents on Vermont and I had to change my plans to flee the flood. Thank you for helping me out! A great place to stop when cycling the LVRT. Don't let that hill stop you from choosing this site! I hope there's not too much damage on the trail, or the road leading up to this site!

This spot was so lovely and our host so accommodating! We enjoyed a dip in the pond and some hammock time with our three year old, as well as the generously provided firewood, marshmallows, and sticks for roasting. The morning bird song was also delightful.

The stay at Janet's site was phenomenal. They were very flexible and hospitable when I discussed our needs while biking through Danville on a bike tour. The site was beautiful and I would love to stay there again.

What an amazing find!! A beautiful spot complete with a fire pit, wood, a picnic table, and a pond. Janet and Woody were delightful and were wonderful hosts. The nightlight was their adorable old dog Sasha who we would have brought home with us. We will definitely be back and send others their way!
