Palm Beach is in an incredibly gorgeous private gravel beach area by the gently cascading waters of Broad Brook. Being that its located right next to Broad Book, if any heavy rain is forcaste we would want to relocate you to a different campsite. Move your tent to higher ground. There are several flat areas to pitch several tents for those traveling with a group. You can cool your selves off in the shallow swimming holes by this campsite. It's about a 200-foot walk and go over the foot bridge to the campsite. DO NOT attempt to drive across Broad Brook, most vehicles trying this have gotten stuck and needed to be towed out.

Hey there! Just a heads up about the Old Barn campsite – it's a beautiful spot with a historic backdrop in southern Vermont. You'll find the stone foundation of an old barn, which adds to the charm of the place. There are plenty of things to do, like enjoying a campfire, stargazing, and exploring the nearby trails. Oh, and theirs is one French Guinea hen named Hercules he wanders about. No, no, Nanett, Luigi, and Mario live in the barn. They are very friendly Nubian goats; you may hear them call out once in a while. People find their sounds charming, but others might not be fans. Just something to keep in mind!

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
The campsite exudes a serene and picturesque vibe with its lush greenery, babbling brook, and night skies filled with stars. It's an ideal spot for those seeking tranquility and an intimate connection with nature. Many guests enjoyed the privacy and the pleasant ambiance, enhanced by the gentle sound of the creek and the occasional visit from friendly animals. The proximity to Brattleboro offers a convenient touch of civilization without compromising the peaceful retreat experience.

Lovely stay by the barn! It's out of sight of the house, but the hostess came and chatted with me in the morning and showed off the goats. Unfortunately my timetable didn't let me explore some of the property -- it sounds lovely and I'll plan to go back another time. The site had a very open view of the sky, but the moon was full so only some stars were visible. It's probably amazing at a different time of the month!
