Come visit the picturesque Cabot Plains in Cabot, Vermont. This 6-acre site is nestled in a forested area at the height of Cabot Plains. Enjoy walking or biking from the site to the McQueeny–Cabot Recreation Trails, the historic Bayley-Hazen Military Road, and the AM Foster Covered Bridge, while taking in spectacular views of both the Green Mountains and Mount Washington in the distance. We are a short pedal (2.5miles) to/from the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail access on Bricketts Crossing between mile 17 & 18. This property sits on the historic “Fortification Hill,” once home to the blockhouse at General Hazen’s camp. The area is rich with history, and we encourage you to take some time to explore it as we have. We recommend reading Cabot Historical Society – Bayley-Hazen Military Road by Peter B. Dannenberg for more information. Nearby attractions include great gravel roads for cycling, the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, mountain biking at Kingdom Trails and the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, and several scenic hiking trails in Groton State Forest. You’ll also find Burtt’s Apple Orchard and live entertainment on Saturday nights at The Den at Harry’s Hardware — the local hardware store and community hub. Cabot is surrounded by beautiful bodies of water to explore, including Joe’s Pond, Marshfield Dam Reservoir, Peacham Pond, Nicholes Pond, and Lake Groton. Our site includes ample room for RV parking and tenting as well as a 12‘ x 14‘ tent platform. We have two fire ring sites for guests to utilize and a picnic table as well as a brand new composting toilet outhouse. *Please carry out all trash from site.*Main site - only site on property

    Great site, this is one of the nicest sites I have stayed in with plenty of privacy in a great location. The host was attentive and interested in making my visit as comfortable as possible.

    This is truly such a gem. It’s in a beautiful quiet little corner of Vermont up on Cabot Plains but super close to so much such as Burt’s Apple Orchard, the hardware store bar and Hill Farmstead (all of which we hit). Randilee clearly puts a lot of attention to detail in ensuring the site has everything you need while also being a rustic campsite (nicest outhouse I’ve ever seen!). Would 100% book again!!
