Our 47-acre homestead is located in the heart of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Our site offers privacy off a secluded class four (unmaintained) road, with great tenting or 4WD van camping options to explore our unique parcel or set up basecamp for your Kingdom adventures! We are within 45 minutes of Kingdom Trails, Burke Mountain, Lake Willoughby, the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, Hill Farmstead Brewery, and so much more. Or let your campsite be the destination and enjoy the diverse natural features of our rural property. We're a gravel grinder's paradise, located on a network of dozens of miles of quiet dirt roads, and you can bike right to your site.Welcome to Feral Picnic Table, a private camping site in the back forty of our rural, mostly forested homestead. We are located in the middle of a world-class gravel grinder's paradise surrounded by hundreds of miles of dirt roads, so be sure to bring your bike - or ride it in! This primitive spot offers full afternoon sun at the picnic table. Pitch up to three two-person tents in the designated spots just into the trees, including one carpeted in deep moss, or pitch a larger tent in the sunshine. This site is accessible by car and pickup truck via a class four (unmaintained) road, and you can drive right to your site, though we recommend 4WD or AWD. At the site, you will find a rustic picnic table, fire ring, and privacy as this is currently the only site we offer. A rustic outhouse sits near the site. Our 47-acre property and the surrounding area are home to barred owls, turkeys, squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits, as well as large animals like deer, moose, and bear. Several beaver ponds are home to beavers, muskrats, ducks, and so many "peepers" in the spring you will question how frogs can possibly be so loud. This site puts you in the middle of innumerable outdoor adventures. Within a half hour of Burke Mountain, Kingdom Trails, and the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. Within 45 minutes of Hill Farmstead Brewery (rated best beer in the world by RateBeer), pristine Lake Willoughby, and St. Johnsbury's Dog Mountain (home of the Stephen Huneck gallery). That's beside all the nearby stuff you perhaps haven't heard of: the corn maze in Danville, local farmer's markets, the South Wheelock swim hole, 1800s cemeteries within walking distance, swimming and paddling in dozens of lakes, canoeing/kayaking/tubing the Passumpsic or Connecticut Rivers, horseback riding, ATVing...we will share some of our local secrets with you for a real taste of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

    Tent camped with pets, Oct 2026.

    Awesome private and quiet campsite, didn't hear a single car pass by and the citronella torches were a nice touch. The ground was flat and soft, no problem sinking tent stakes. The table is also anything but feral! Smooth seats and tabletop with a natural contour, loved it. The directions provided were clear and accurate. The approach from the north end of the class IV Jill's Hill Rd was easy work for my Subaru Outback WIlderness. The Jill's Hill approach from the south was certainly longer and certainly more challenging, a lot of fun if you fancy a bit of off-road adventure! The outhouse was, an outhouse... Plenty of TP! Cool flowers and a neat mushroom kept us company. I'd stay here again for sure.

    We stayed 2 days at Crickle Creek and enjoyed the space and privacy. A nice, clear open space with wood prepared for use and a beautiful picnic table. There were many pollinators and birds around, it is such a nice spot! Would definitely return in the future.
