Great views and history!

Great tent camping experience. Quiet, great walking trails, amazing views, Surrounded by gardens, apple trees, grazing cows and you will be among several old historic buildings and farming implements from 1800's. I real bargain for the price! I went on a Monday into Tuesday when the museum and buildings were closed, this made for a private quiet experience. If you go during open times or peak summer/ fall times you may see more tourists passing through. Look forward to going again!

Stayed 3 days in my suv and was inspired by the scenery, trails and hospitality. There is limited shade so I would bring a tent for my vehicle next time. Great place for photography and picturesque sunrises and sunsets. Can’t beat the price!

Amazing scenery at an historical farm/homestead. Enjoyed Amish horses and buggies going by and neighbor cows. Next time a longer visit/tour.

Very pleasant place to tent out for a night or two. The host was very kind in letting me get in pretty late and I’m pretty sure I parked in the wrong spot but they were very cool about it. Highly recommend

We had a great night at the Stone House Museum. The museum was just closing when we arrived but we did a self-guided tour with the provided brochure. We were the only ones at the campsites and the amenities were as advertised. Site was quiet with just the noise of an occasional Amish buggy passing.

I enjoyed a couple nights at site 3. Great Value option for those looking for a simple place to stay. Beautiful location. The grounds of the Old Stone House complex are beautiful. I really loved the view over the area from the observatory. Site three is on a slight hill in an open field. The elevation is a little higher so it tends to be a few degrees cooler. I had the bad luck to be there for a strong windstorm that blew my tent across the field despite having 10-15 lbs of stuff in it (luckily it caught on the stone fence by the road). The road was pretty quiet with minimal traffic. It was interesting to see some of the Amish folk in the area.

This a beautiful & well cared for property of significant historic value. The tour is definitely worth taking and all staff were very friendly. There are several walking paths that connect to the camping area. Very quiet!

I loved camping here at the Museum. I was there during the week a few times and it was quiet and peaceful. The restroom was clean and there was water available by outdoor hose. Would definitely stay again!!

The museum was easy to find as there was signage throughout the area and the sites were clearly labeled which was helpful because we arrived after hours. We got there just in time to see a beautiful sunset over the surrounding fields and mountains. The sunrise was also incredible above the misty cow pastures. Staff was friendly and the surrounding area has a great deal to explore. Will definitely go back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Old Stone House village. The Amish farmers riding their carriages by made it seem like we were back in the day of Alexander Twilight! Yea - we saw a few side-by-side atv's but not a big deal like one review complained about. They were regular people getting about town - not local yahoos tearing up the roads. We highly recommend this quaint little historic village.

Site 2

15 ft travel trailer ·

It was a cute little spot with 3 sites spaced out just enough. Beautiful grounds to walk around and a field full of cows behind you for a great country setting. Few visitors during the day but after 4pm not a sole around. Not a lot of shade so would plan to have some cover on a hot day. But for the price definitely worth every penny!

Very peaceful stay in a gorgeous area of Vermont. If you’re a remote worker, the WiFi is a bonus! The official historic facilities are closed Mondays and Tuesdays so it’s extra peaceful those days. Staff were very kind.

A hidden gem

Our three-night stay at the grounds of the Old Stone House Vermont was a great experience. The historic charm of the Old Stone House added a unique dimension to our camp stay. We enjoyed exploring the grounds, marveling at the architecture and learning about the rich local history. During our stay, we took full advantage of the local activities. The nearby farmers market was a plus where we indulged in fresh produce and homemade treats. Just 15 minutes away lake Willoughby offered excellent swimming and hiking. We are definitely booking again for the future!

Absolutely gorgeous farmland setting in historic village. The Museum was fascinating and the staff super nice and welcoming. There are portable toilets on site, water and a picnic table. Very quiet at night. Would love to return.

The Old Stone House Museum was a beautiful place to camp. I enjoyed the viewing tower and being near a field of horses and cows. It wasn't too loud and was about 20 minutes from Lake Willoughby. Neat place.

Just imagine...

9 ft travel trailer ·

The horse and cow in a neighboring field, Amish families on foot or in buggies, historic buildings and generally quiet setting---there were moments when one could easily imagine being transported to a romantic version of life in an earlier time, even while knowing the reality was often quite different. And the guides and volunteers were all very nice. Highly recommend.

A relaxing site close to nature

The sites offered at the Old Stone House Museum are just perfect. Molly was available to answer our questions and the whole team is very friendly. We had the chance to enjoy two sunny days of hiking and museum visit.

Pure genuine camping experience

14 ft travel trailer ·

Molly is an perfect, incredible host, very fiendly, kind and generous. Guided tour of the museum and dormatory included but I recommend giving a donation. In my opinion, this is a pure genuine camping experience at its very best. We took Site 3 which is a nice quiet spot, on grass, in a field on a small hill with a view on the cow and horse fields below. No mosquitoes nor evil flies whatsoever. Access to good and fresh water (spigot) and dumpster. An easy nature trail (approx. 2-3km) surrounds the historic village. On Saturday, must go to the Miller's Amish baked food kiosk, 10 min from the campsite (for the strawberry pie and delicious goodies) and farmers market in Newport (delicious BBQ stand ). In Newport, the thai restaurant is very good. A free dump station is also located in Newport. The campsite gives you easy access to Willoughby forest trailheads (10-20 min). Great, great thank you to Molly and Tilly. We had such a fantastic time. I even recommended Old stone house to my co-workers

A beautiful spot to camp. There is a loosely fenced area that can be used for a tent. I chose to camp in the grass lot by my car. It looks like bathrooms are only accessible when the museum is open. It was closed the day I was there, but there's a Walmart about 20 minutes away. I enjoyed the walking path as well. There is a trash can by the trail, and I had decent mobile service (AT&T). The roads in Northern Vermont, though, leave much to be desired (not the host's fault of course).

This place is a hidden jem in the middle of the countryside. We were all alone, as the museum was closed at this time of year. We enjoyed the grounds all to ourselves. Peaceful with loads of history ! Our first night Rving with hipcamp. So far, so good…
