The property was beautiful. No one was there when we arrived but a quick phone call got us settled in. Loved the horses and the view.

Camping at Melinda & Dan's place was great! The space was beautiful with excellent mountain views. There was awesome kayaking and hiking super close to the site as well as easily accessible breweries, wineries, and restaurants in nearby towns. Melinda & Dan are kind and gracious hosts with a really lovely piece of property to enjoy!

Beautiful spot, lush and lovely!
Awesome spot! I made a last minute booking here and Melinda was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Dan was helpful with finding a spot on the property and dropping off a fire ring.
The property was beautiful and quiet. I didn’t have any insects bothering me (mosquitos and ticks are usually the culprits) and it was just an overall good safe vibe.
This was my first time staying at a hip camp after a recent horrible experience with another host. Melinda and Dan have restored my faith in Hipcamp hosts!

Nice backwoods camping
Loved the private spot up the woods trail. Dan was very kind and brought me up to the site with my things in his ATV, and Melinda and Dan showed up later with a little burn pit that produced a fantastic hot fire. Overall nice spot, you can hear the train off in the distance but it is not loud enough to be a hinderance. I suggest taking the woods spot tucked up farther as Dan had showed me!

This is a private, perfect spot in a breathtakingly beautiful piece of land. It didn’t hurt that I arrived after a short, heavy rain to a double rainbow and spectacular sunset, followed by a full moon and night of meteor showers. Sometimes you get lucky! Melinda is a great host. She and her family have the kind of easy, genuine friendliness that makes you feel like you’ve known them for years. I’m glad I found this place. I’ll be back.

Pretty, mowed campsite with a view!
This was an amazing site and the host was very welcoming! We stayed at the main site which was mowed grass and flat. There was a table and fire pit facing beautiful views over a farm. There is also a beautiful river right outside the property. The area around this property is also incredible with multiple rivers, swimming holes, cute towns, and lots of hiking! Hoping to come back soon!

Gorgeous setting, peaceful and quiet. Melinda gave clear directions to a second spot that was perfect and had a great view. We wish we had more time to spend in this gorgeous place!

Nice flat gravel/grassy space across from a horse pasture. Up the hill from Otter Creek where you could fish or kayak.

Outstanding Camp Site
Definitely one of my favorite spots I've camped at so far ! Melinda is extremely helpful and responsive and there aren't enough good things to say about the site. The site is flat with plenty of room for an easy set up, with amazing views of a meadow, mountains, and the horses! Very quiet throughout the entire stay and I slept like a rock, it was glorious. I will be booking this site again in the future, for certain. The directions were easy to follow and found the spot with no issues. There's a cell phone dead spot for a pretty good distance, so I recommend downloading the directions to use offline if you can, but had plenty of service at the spot itself. Can't wait to go back !

Beautiful and quiet
The hosts were sure to make me feel comfortable and the scenery was beautiful! My puppy and I had a nice quiet stay and enjoyed the fireflies :)

Excellent Camping Spot - Great view
I loved staying at Melinda’s farm. Excellent location close to Middlebury and Lake Champlain. The camping spot is well mowed and level (especially important for tents) and the view is beautiful. There is a picnic table and a fire pit near the field location (not the woods) and makes this spot super convenient to use. Melinda was highly responsive and has a lovely spot for campers. Our dogs had a great time smelling horses for the first time too! Great spot.

Great, easy camping spot! Host accepted our last-minute request as we rolled into town for a nearby event. Beautiful views, peaceful field and adorable horses nearby.

This is now my "favorite" camp site ever! Can't wait to go back and enjoy more of the mountain views! Melinda and her family were so welcoming and wonderful.

It was a quick trip. Pretty much pulled in and went to sleep and was gone before sunrise, but it was a great location and beautiful setting.

Great Host, Great Site!
I needed an affordable place to stay for an overnight job with less than 12 hours notice. Melinda was very quick to accept my request, and answered all my messages immediately. I chose to stay near the horse field rather than the woods, which was a nice open spot overlooking the mountains.
Although I only wanted to spend one night, I so wished I could have stayed longer. The roads would be great for road biking, there's easy access to state parks, and you're only a few short minutes to the Middlebury and Vergennes.
Overall, it was a great bare-bones site by a great host. Would absolutely recommend!

This was a very unique and beautiful site. To access the site, you pull into a grassy road in between the family farm and the neighboring meadow. My boyfriend and I were having difficulty understanding where to park our rv (the first portion of the road is the host's property) but with Melinda's help via text and over the phone, we were able to find a great spot. Melinda and her husband were extremely welcoming hosts who were kind enough to bring us out a fire ring (and wood because we forgot to bring our own). We had a great night and have never before been able to see so many stars!!

Beautiful overnight near Middlebury
Beautiful stars and sky at night, and sunrise in the morning, parked next to a beautiful meadow field. Great location with very easy access to Middlebury. Breakfast in Vergennes is just a few minutes away, and a beautiful drive. Melinda stayed in touch with directions, and marked our overnight parking spot with a fire ring all set up for a campfire. A good spot for an overnight stay between Middlebury and Burlington.

Pleasant, Quiet Rural Camping
Melinda was super kind and helped us find our site at night. The spot was quiet, cool, and dark, a roughly cleared area where our car could park conveniently nearby. The property was really beautiful and seemed fun to explore if we'd stayed longer.
