Meadows! Frogs! Cows! What’s Not to
This was my first Hipcamp experience & solo camping trip. I could not have chosen any better than the orchard at Peck Farm. The site was newly mowed when I arrived, and everything was true to the description on the Hipcamp app. Vermont in general is beautiful, but East Montpelier is truly a little slice of heaven. Rolling hills, meadows and 100-plus-year-old barns. Dan’s site was easy to find and just the right combination of comfort & off-the-grid feeling. There are a couple rural dirt roads nearby, but almost no traffic. And there are also a couple farmhouses within sight of the campsite, but if you’ve chosen Vermont as a destination, then you know that is a big part of the charm. The location is both remote but intimate. There is a small pond with tons of merrymaking frogs, and cows grazing in a nearby field. I wasn’t visiting during apple picking season, but I imagine that camping at Peck Farm Orchards is even more fun when cider & doughnuts are available! Dan was communicative & stopped by briefly to make sure I was comfortable, but in true Vermont fashion, he was also very respectful of my privacy. If all my future camping experiences with Hipcamp are similar to five days at Peck Farm Orchards, I will indeed be a very happy camper.
