This campsite offers a serene and historically rich setting, perfect for those looking to unwind amidst open fields, historic buildings, and charming countryside views. Visitors appreciate the peace and quiet, with only the occasional sound of farm trucks or buggies adding to the rural charm. The museum and nearby Amish community provide unique cultural experiences and the staff are noted for their friendliness. While there is some mention of limited shade and occasional vehicle traffic, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive with breathtaking views and well-maintained facilities.

Lovely location and setting - open fields, the museum and surrounded by farms. Some road noise from local farm trucks, but quiet at night time. Great opportunity to visit the museum and stay in a classic VT setting.

A nice place to stay besides historic buildings with adjoining orchard and garden. The place is on a quiet remote country road. We were the only ones on the site for the night. You can have a guided tour of the premises during the day (11 to 4). I learned after the fact that the village is the only Amish settlement in Vermont. There is also an Amish baked goods store nearby but only opened on Saturday if you happen to be there on that day.

What a beautiful, peaceful and interesting spot. We were the only ones there and truly enjoyed the peace and quiet. Other than an occasional truck or buggy going down the road we just heard cows and chickens! The history here is worth the stop alone but we also enjoyed easy walks and just taking it all in. I am an artist so I particularly found the scenery inspiring!

This was my second stay at the campground at the Old Stone House and Historic Village. I stayed here at the end of May and enjoyed it so much that I booked another trip just two weeks later and brought my family along to experience it too. The campsite has an amazing view that makes it so peaceful to wake up each morning. The restrooms are always very clean and well maintained, and everyone on the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. It is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and explore the history of the area. I highly recommend staying here, and I am sure I will be back again.

An amazing spot! A wonderful view, fairly private with some cars during the day but mainly stay in the lot close to the visitor building. Cows were adorable to wake up to in the field. Friendly staff, clean handicap sized porta potty. already booked my return. 10/10

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!

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.

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.

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!
