Octavia Butler
This land is so special. The view from Octavia Butler was spectacular in the morning. It rained while we were there and having a bit of cover of the trees was really nice. The caretakers are very welcoming and its a great spot to hike Camel’s Hump!

We had a fabulous snowy campsite with wonderful views of the total eclipse. Highlights: kind and caring camp host (Meg),
easy access but still felt remote and “off the grid”, friendly fellow campers.
We will be back and highly recommend this camp to anyone looking for a great balance of solitude and connection. Simply lovely in every way.

I went tent camping here for the eclipse. I chose it because no cis men are allowed at HOWL. That made me feel safe to camp by myself for the first time. During this trip, I discovered that I'm capable of doing a LOT more things than I thought I was capable of before, and I'm going to take that knowledge home with me to apply to the rest of my life.
There's a composting outhouse in easy walking distance, and just past that there's a building with a breezeway, wifi, a coffeemaker, and firewood for purchase. Outside that building there's an outdoor faucet with sink and a couple of picnic tables.
The camping host was very friendly and helpful. The fire ring at the Wangaricampsite is very well maintained. Note that this campsite isn't bumpy, but it's also entirely on a slight incline.

We were warmly welcomed to the place. It was easy to check in and get to our encampment. We felt safe and cared for as well (even thou we didn't interact much with the crew). The land itself is beautiful and staying by the stream was soothing in many ways.

HOWL was incredible! We loved the Octavia Butler spot and the views were incredible. Sunset was beautiful and the people were so friendly.

This is an amazing place to stay! Even though we arrived past check-in time (definitely recommend arriving earlier to be able to enjoy the spot in the daylight) we received a warm welcome and the hosts made sure we knew where we were going and that we were set for the night. It was a beautiful view to wake up to in the morning.

It is such a laid back place that gets you outside just staring at the hills and the sky and the fire. My kindof paradise.

If there was a place to counter all the mess that is the social-tech instant-gratification world, this is the type of blessed area that is instead an “insta-safe-space -landscape insta-void of all and anything “insta”….” This is a space that holds YOU, not the weary-world self that will inevitably button it all up. Go and enjoy it deeply! With my blessings Meg!

Our stay was wonderful! It was very quiet and remote, we fell asleep to the sound of the owls and a babbling brook. The caretakers were very sweet and everything was easy to navigate. We will be back!

Michele’s land is a magical place! And Michele herself was so nice and welcoming. I can’t wait to come back when the weather is a little drier :)

I honestly can't put into words how much I loved both HOWL and my campsite. Everyone was so friendly, there was the most delicious water ever to drink, and an adorable outhouse. The common area had a good amount of picnic tables and chairs and strong wifi if you wanted to connect. The location is great if you want to hike Camel's Hump. Just ten minutes down the road to get to the trailhead.
The campsite itself was perfectly situated. You are secluded from others but have an incredible view of the mountains. I was also able to watch fireflies in the field in front of my campsite. There is already a fire ring built and it was easy to forage for wood in the forest immediately behind the site. And one of the best parts for me is I brought my hammock and was able to out it up in the trees just behind the site and enjoy the view from there. I spent an afternoon just watching the view and relaxing and couldn't tear myself away.

HOWL Meadow
Two friends and I had a great time at HOWL. The campsites are accessible and well-maintained, but it feels like you’re really out in quiet, open land, with roaming horses and fireflies as neighbors. Everyone was welcoming and water and wood were available.

I didn't end up camping, but spent the day at HOWL enjoying the company of friends and attending a Collective meeting. It was great to see so many people on the land. The Memorial Garden looks beautiful and we spent some peaceful time reading about our foremothers, who founded this community and kept it going. It was a treat to hang out and listen to the birds all day! Toward evening, the neighbors brought their horse to graze, which just speaks to the many joys of having this land for both humans and animals to enjoy!

Tips about the surrounding area, for example: various swimming holes, camels hump hike (campground is very close to trail head), The Hatchet 🪓 restaurant in Richmond.
The carts at the campground to help bring gear to the sites.

HOWL Meadow
Beautiful, peaceful place, with a lovely view from Octavia Butler tent site. We were excited about the lightning bugs in the field! The outhouse is adorable and clean, with toilet paper supplied. Access to a sink and firewood. Wifi works well at the house. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend and would stay there again. Also, consider visiting the Birds of Vermont museum nearby! It's a cool, unique stop.

The land is beautiful, obviously well cared for. The sites are all a good distance from one another so its easy to enjoy the nature sounds. Caretakers are very chill and helpful. Would definitely come back.

HOWL Meadow
We enjoyed camping at the crows nest at Howls. There were beautiful views and we were fully immersed in nature. We were met by a caretaker who kindly helped us find the campsite. The outhouse was the cleanest and cutest outhouse I’ve ever used and we appreciated the sink for washing our cooking utensils. To sum up in a few phrases, clean, great amenities, friendly people, scenic vista. All you could ask for on a VT Memorial Day Weekend Trip.
Thank you!
