Creekside Camp

July 2024 - Great Place To Stay!

We had a wonderful stay! Don and his dog Luna are great hosts. Don offered a hand getting to and from our site and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The property is an oasis nestled in the mountains of Vermont. The location is great for exploring Newport City and the surrounding area!

Creekside Camp

Don was a generous host. He was attentive to ensuring a good arrival and comfortable stay. Camping on my own can feel intimidating but I felt safe and comfortable. He supplied wash water in a tapped jug, and firewood. He helped bring my stuff to and from my car to the campsite. There was an outhouse with TP and hand sani located at the shelter site. I was able to navigate the road safely with my VW Golf though I did appreciate a lift from Don my second time in because the road hadn't gotten its annual grading yet. The sound of the frogs at night was beautiful and soothing. I would absolutely come back to Froggy Acres if I return to the NEK!

Maple Grove Camp

Very friendly host and dog. The place was clean and as described in the photos. Good place to crash for the night, being close to Newport, but I didn't stay long enough to hike around and find out. Instructions were clear to get to the site and he was responsive when I did get lost. Road was a sketchy on my motorcycle, but he warned us and offered a shuttle in and out of the place. Even went as far to offer his truck for us to grab dinner instead of riding up and down the road. The road was beaten up by heavy rain and a neighbors culvert broke, so nothing in his control. He was honest and offered help. Would go back.

We had a great time camping on Don’s property! We came in earlier than the usual camping season to see the eclipse, so melting snow made the trail down to the campsite pretty muddy. But Don was super helpful in clearing the snow off our campsite, moving our camping gear to and from the site, and providing extra supplies we might need. Excellent service, I highly recommend camping with Don!

Maple Grove Camp

Magical stay in the woods!

Our stay at Don’s was a wonderful time!! Don is a very kind and interesting man who has made his land a beautiful place to visit. We came by for a night on a bike trip so we were too exhausted to check out the trails on his property, but from what we did see it was clear Don has thought of everything! Easy to use camp kitchen, great fire pits, solar lights, and we were even able to use an outdoor shower. The pond is beautiful with views of Jay’s Peak behind. This is not a Hipcamp where you’re just in someone’s backyard. You’re close enough to the road, but far enough that it’s very private and you are very much in the woods and in nature. The road up to the house is quite steep/rocky. Keep going until the end of the road and you will be rewarded with these campsites! We got up the road walking our bikes, but the next day Don offered to drive us down, which is very representative of him as a host - very thoughtful and kind! We will treasure our time at Froggy Acres, and hope to come back - will definitely recommend it to any friends!

Nature Getaway with the Dog!

The property was beautiful and peaceful. The craftsmanship on the tented area and enclosed cabin area were safe and functional. Donald as a host went above and beyond. Keeping firewood stocked and always kept in great communication with us. Our fur baby was welcomed with open arms and had so much space and privacy. Lots of land to take a hike on and pretty creeks along the way!
