camp was everything we wanted! we had plenty of space and it was very quiet. we enjoyed the area and how close to the water we were. although our stay was very cold we were able to bring some firewood with and have a campfire in one of the multiple available pits. finding our site was easy. i would absolutely recommend this site and would definitely come back.

Such a special place to stay. We loved the simplicity of the cabin. It was exactly what we needed for a wellness reset! So cozy with the wood burning stove, and the bunk mattresses were surprisingly comfortable. So clean and inviting. Ranger Eric was very communicative and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again.

I stayed in the Mount Mansfield cabin and it was fantastic! I stayed during the Winter, the wood stove was a huge help. The host was very welcoming and hospitable. Navigating to the site was not difficult.

Eric was amazing and super communicative! The lodges were perfect for our event - we hosted a Civil Air Patrol Wing Winter Bivouac with 20 cadets and 4 Senior Members and the entire event was a huge success!!! Thank you so much to Mount Norris and Eric for the great lodging and perfect site!

I enjoyed staying at the cabins! Dry cabin with wood fired stove. Simple and comfortable. Very peaceful and affordable while on a backcountry ski getaway. Eric - the ranger - is excellent at communication. Roads well plowed despite being there during huge storm. Would happily stay here again.

Handicraft Cabin
We had a ton of fun! It was a winter wonderland and the cabin got real warm with the wood stove, the perfect base area to enjoy the beautiful outdoors of Vermont. Eric is very responsive / helpful, and it’s awesome to support Vermont Scouting! We’ll be back!

Cozy, warm cabin with excellent access to nearby trails/ski resorts. Cabin has soft mattresses to sleep on- just bring a blanket, sleeping bag, and pillow(s) and you're good! Woodstove got the cabin warm in no time. Eric the ranger was great at communicating with me and even had a fire started with the cabin warm before I got there! Thank you again for that :)
I will be staying again!

We took our Girl Scout Troop winter camping in the Handicraft Cabin. It was a great experience. Ranger Eric was very helpful and responsive to questions before we got there. When we arrived we found that he had plowed us easy access to the site and the latrines. The wood for inside was also well stocked. We will definitely be booking again!

Handicraft Cabin
I went with a group of 11 people. We had an absolute blast. It really felt like we were kids again at a summer camp. We went late octobre when the night start to get really cold, but the heating system in the cabin was fantastic and we were really comfortable at night. The lake is simply beautiful and the site is huge.

We arrived at night and the Ranger was waiting for us. He nicely offered us to stay inside a little wooden cabin equiped with a stove, which allowed us to be warm and comfy during the night (the temperatures were very cold that night)
The camping ground was nice and beautiful and located near beautiful hikes.
Only minor little issue would be the quasi total absence of a plug anywhere to charge up phones or batteries. Just one in the shower building.
But we managed fine like this !
Would totally recommend to stay there ! Probably one of the best options in the aera !

A really nice place to camp for a group, or even families. The scout camp has a variety of sites, some with cabins, others with tent platforms. Many combinations to suit your needs. Prices are reasonable, and the facilities are complete with showers, water and plenty of toilets.

Camel's Hump Village
We really enjoyed our cabin experience at Camel’s Hump Complex. The cabins were clean, rustic, and we appreciated the electricity and sealed cabinet where we could store our food. Lots of great hiking and leaf peeping nearby. We’ll definitely be back.

Camel’s hump is just one of the lovely spots here at Mount Norris Scout Reservation. The cabins are all filled with bunk beds and a couple of plugs ins to charge your essentially. Also, you’ll find a light in each cabin so no need to use the lantern inside. Add on the fact that the park ranger, Eric, is one of the best hosts we’ve come across, Mount Norris Scout Reservation is a hidden gem and should be visited by anyone driving through the mountains of Northern Vermont.
P.s. my family has officially stayed in multiple sites at the campground for 3 weeks in a row now and will be extending for another week. Simply put, this place is amazing!

We recently stayed at the Belvidere site right by the water, and it was an incredible experience! The campsite itself was huge, providing plenty of space to spread out and enjoy nature. One of the highlights was the beautiful lake, where we spent our days canoeing, kayaking, and even fishing. It was a perfect spot for water activities and relaxation.
The campsite was well-equipped with firewood available for a cozy bonfire each evening. The bathroom facilities were clean and well-maintained, with the bonus of hot water showers, which was a nice touch after a long day outdoors. We were also offered ice whenever we needed it, which added to the convenience.
Overall, Camping Belvidere provided a perfect blend of outdoor adventure and comfort. Whether you're looking to enjoy some water activities or just relax by the fire, this campsite has it all. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to escape into nature!

My husband and son loved camping at Mt. Norris. My son is a scout and attends each year. But he was thrilled he could share this beautiful place with his dad. It’s quiet. They enjoyed fishing and hiking. They can’t wait to come back.
