Peaceful Pondside Retreat
This is a nice little place to spend the night if you’re going through the area. This little spot is private, has a nice clear pond, full of frogs and ducks and red wing blackbirds. Also has a nice little stream running behind it. You can take a little bit of a walk on a short trail.
There’s a little bit of shade and a little bit of sun, depending on where you park.
You may want to bring mosquito repellent once the mosquitoes are active. I stayed at the spot mid May and there were no mosquitoes. I also stayed at it at the end of June and there were plenty of them!
It’s a nice quiet spot.
Gus answered all my questions and was very easy to work with.

Hidden gem! Surprisingly incredibly private being just off the main road. I had such a great time and can’t wait to stay again.

Wonderful spot! Very flat, right next to a gorgeous pond with birds and croaking bullfrogs. Great fire pit. Pretty river with a bridge on over it nearby as well. Plenty of room, and an easy stroll into the village to grab a meal if you want to. Very kind hospitable host. It’s a really great place

Thank you Gus for having us stay on your property. We found it to be very relaxing and would highly recommend it. Access to trails and falling asleep to the sound of nature was so nice. We brought our dog and of course kept her on leash as they require that you do. My dog loves being out doors and she loves the hiking and all of the different scents. We will definitely go back again.

Such a beautiful site! Very peaceful with lots of frog song in a small pond and a stream flowing next to the site.
I would definitely come back!

Privacy moments away from town

Peaceful Pondside Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our short time here, very private, quiet and tranquil. It was my first time in Vermont and definitely not my last. The views and hiking trails will for sure call us back next year, hopefully we can time the foliage a little better, but the views did not disappoint. Gus and his son were super helpful, and the property was beautiful. Thanks!!

Gus was a great host and the site was beautiful, we could not keep the kids off the dock as they were catching fish all day long. Short trip to town and beautiful scenic views everywhere. I would definitely stay here again.

What an awesome spot!! The fall foliage, the pond, the privacy, the trails, the stars, the town, the incredibly reasonable price - all make a wonderful stay and experience! 5 stars.

This pond side camp is conveniently located in southern VT. It's a private, spacious, grass covered level site with views. We noticed a bit of road noise early in the evening but not enough to keep us awake. Definitely worth returning!

This is a sweet spot! We stayed here after a wedding in our Dodge Ram 3500 EXT camper van. There was plenty of room to easily turn the van around. The grounds were packed enough so there was no issue with getting stuck. As a courtesy, I texted Augustus to let him know we were arriving very late after the wedding and despite being at a concert, he got right back to me. I'm grateful for people like Augustus who so graciously share their land for others to enjoy. We will stay here again next time we're in the area.
On a funny and informative side note, the neighbor's property also has a picnic table that could easily be confused as Augustus' spot when it's pitch black outside. The neighbors home and picnic table is close to the road. You know you are in Augustus' spot when you have driven down a short driveway/road and the picnic table is in front of you with the small pond and dock to your left. :)

What a beautiful site in a super convenient location! There is a definite feeling of privacy despite being right off VT-9. We took advantage of being on the walking trail that takes you right to downtown Wilmington. It was so nice to not have to walk down the busy road. Between the pond (with ducks, don't feed them!) and the firepit, the space had everything you would want for a chill weekend away.

Awesome site just off route 9. Quick drive to down town Wilmington.
Super easy pull through parking setup. Tons of room! We had two smaller campers ~24' with room to spare.
Dogs loved the small pond, and easy hiking trails access.
Definitely a great stop if you get the chance.

I loved camping next to the pond! It was peaceful. We saw ducks, crane and a few fish. The hiking trails were nice as well. We would stay here again.

Gus was very friendly. He met me at the entrance and directed me to the campsite.
There is stream near the pond and a trail that leads into town. I highly recommend this site if you are looking to stay near Wilmington.

Private with nicely mowed area and trails to exercise my dogs. Blue heron, ducks and a nighttime bullfrog serenade. Great breakfast and coffee at the village roost 😊. Enjoyed my stay even with some rain.

This was an amazing camping spot, beautiful lush greenery surrounds you as you chill by the fire over looking the pond making for a super private and peaceful experience. Gus was super responsive and easy to work with 100% will book again.

My husband and I so much needed a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle … and that’s just what we got here at this property! Bullfrogs to lull us to sleep at night and birds tweeting good morning … the cold mountain brook for taking a dip and a shaded spot to park our rig was a godsend during this intense hot spell. It was also nice to be able to enjoy walking trails out our backdoor for some exploration! And Augustus was so caring to send us a text to warn us of a severe thunderstorm approaching! Above and beyond happy with our time spent here and hope to come back again!

We highly recommend this beautiful, private property, with the picturesque pond and just a short, lovely walk to the charming town of Wilmington. It is our second time camping on Gus' spectacularly maintained property and we hope to be back again soon!

Beautiful quiet location. Loved the fact that the public walking trail was accessible from the yard- nice to be able to walk to the center of town rather than drive. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great place. I needed a quiet spot to park my Go Fast Camper for the night before starting a section of the nearby Appalachian Trail early the next morning and Gus's place hit the mark. He was great at communicating and I will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in the area.
