Texas Hill Brook Campsite
What a gem! This spot was excellent and suited me just fine. Nearby to trails and city. Great views, I loved falling asleep to the sound of the brook. The land was well kept and provided more than enough space for one. Julia and Jeff were excellent hosts; friendly and accommodating. I hope this land treats future campers as well as it did me.

What a gem! Such a lovely spot. Quiet, safe, and perfectly located nearby trails and city. Land is well kept and provided everything a camper needs. Julia and Jeff were excellent hosts. Super nice and communicative. I loved everything so much, I ended up extending my stay and the hosts were flexible. Hope this land is as good to fellow campers as it was to me!

Texas Hill Brook Campsite
This was my first time using Hipcamp and Julia made it super memorable and easy. I would definitely camp here again, Julia and her husband were such great hosts. They lit up the fire pit for us before we arrived. They provided us with everything we needed especially camping in the winter time. Also communication 10/10, it was hard trying to find the site at first, I texted Julia and she guided how to get there.

Great quiet spot on the river with a large fire pit.
We slept to the sounds of the river, perfect! And there’s an electrical outlet to use!

The hike to the cabin is formidable, about 45min, and was quite challenging while carrying your belongings. We came 40min before sunset and HIGHLY recommend coming way sooner to make the journey as painless as possible.
That being said once you arrive the cabin is absolutely stunning! They have provided you with just about anything you could need and we absolutely enjoyed every second of our stay. As mentioned before there is another yurt a few hundred feet away but far enough to still feel private. If you’re looking for an authentic cabin experience you can’t do much better than this!

It's a nice spot. Never did meet the hosts but they were responsive to my questions via text for the most part. Nice quiet private spot by a stream with electric hookup.

Super chill place between Burlington and camels hump. Pleasantly fell asleep to the sound of the water running adjacent to the site both nights

This is a beautiful, large campsite with many great amenities. < 30 mins from Camel Hump and < 1 hr from Stowe. The hosts went out of their way to ensure our large group had a comfortable stay.

Loved staying here and catching the fall foliage. Super peaceful and cozy and had lots of nice homey touches- you can tell the hosts put a lot of thought and love into the cabin :) the walk in was easy, although you’ll definitely want to do it in daylight. There are some really nice hiking trails right around the cabin and it’s easy to get some good views of the leaves and nearby camels hump. Will definitely be back

Great spot! My friend appreciated the tent platform and the site felt private/tucked away, while being conveniently located close to the road. The adjacent brook made for a peaceful nights sleep and the picnic table was a nice touch.

This campsite was awesome— easily one of my favorite of all time. The stream is really wonderful and peaceful. Driveway is marked with a camping sign and had gravel most of the way down. Slightly muddy at the end but i didnt have any issues getting out. I didn’t meet julia but Jeff was super accommodating, and the dog, nikki, is very fluffy and sweet. I wasn’t able to make a fire during my stay but they had wood, kindling, and a torch for me to usez electric was convenient. Even in winter site feels private and cozy. I would stay there again for sure.

Always a pleasure to see Julia and Jeff!!!
The place is so perfect for us around mountain.
After an hike, you camp near a fire and relaxe with sound of the river and the sound of few owls.
See you soon!!!

This cabin was magical! We loved the space and the wood fired sauna. I will say we didn't know it was shared with another Yurt, which I'm not sure was mentioned in the listing. Luckily no one was at the other spot until the second night so we got to enjoy some privacy. Regardless we highly recommend, very special place.

My husband and I had a lovely two days here. What an absolutely beautiful and brilliant space. I was lulled to sleep with the sounds of the river. We were very appreciative of the well equipped outdoor tent commode. It was close to Burlington which is what we were looking for. Easy to get there and back without issue. Thank you so much Julia and Jeff!

Texas Hill Brook Campsite
Great location! We stayed only one night as we were travelling through but would definitely come back to stay longer. Jeff was VERY helpful and super friendly. Almost as soon as we got to the land he treated us with his super friendly and adorable dog Nikki. He had also started the fire at our camping location prior to our arrival. We had a big fifth wheel which made it impossible in the weather (A LOT) of rain to get down to the location safely but no worries to Jeff as he helped us stay closer to the home in order to sleep the night. I’d recommend you chat with Jeff and Julia if you have a big fifth wheel or RV prior to booking but other than that we had a lovely stay and will be back with maybe just tents or stay in their other location (the cabin).

Great campsite. Had my jeep and 16 foot pop-up camper- fit great. electric hookup was awesome since I usually go without. Though it is close to the road, only occasional passing cars and any noise is covered by the stream right behind the campsite. I camp for quiet and solitude- that is exactly what I got.

We loved everything about our stay at Dark Star Cabin... Julia and Jeff thought of everything so you don't have to. Solid hike in, beautiful place, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. We hope we left it better than we found it!

Dark Star Cabin & Sauna
This was a fantastic spot for a weekend trip, we hope to stay again! The hike in is not to be underestimated, but the had the poor timing of pouring rain, once there the yurt has a peaceful resort feel, and the sauna made for a perfect end to the day.

Awesome stay in Vermont woods!
13 ft travel trailer ·
Texas Hill Brook Campsite
Such a great place to stay in the woods of Vermont! Two words that get us excited about a campsite more than any other is running water, and not the kind out of a tap! Texas hill creek was so nice to have just feet from our camper. We loved listening to it running over rocks all night long.
Jeff and Julia were awesome camp host. Really enjoyed talking with them. Nikki is a incredible pup and we really enjoyed her visits as much as she enjoyed the smoke salmon treats we got for her!
Julia let us know that there were ripe blueberries on the bush behind their house and for us to help ourselves. We picked a bowl for in minutes and enjoyed them for the rest of our trip. So nice of them to share.
With all the rain Vermont had got before we arrived and while we were there the site was wet, just like every other campsite in Vermont. We tried our best not to leave tracks but after 4 inches of rain in 2 nights it was hard not to.
We would love to come back someday and stay with Jeff and Julia again. We really enjoyed the solitude and puppy visits!

Texas Hill campsite - SUPER!
18 ft travel trailer · With pets ·
Texas Hill Brook Campsite
I picked a great place for my first Hipcamp experience - Julia, our host, was great. We had plenty of space to set up! Having electric service was a huge plus. Of the 8 days we stayed, it rained nearly constantly for 4 of those days. Only problem we had was due to us setting up the trailer and the gazebo in the lowest area - lots of puddles and mushy ground. Recycling was encouraged - Leave No Trace principles were encouraged. I did clean up lots of things left by previous campers, even found a discarded (or lost) brand-new tire iron. All in all, an excellent experience in the beautiful mountains of Vermont.

We had a cozy and relaxing weekend at the Dark Star Cabin. The land is so expansive and offers so many opportunities for recreation and or simply connecting with the rhythms of nature - the hike in is glorious but good footwear required due to mud! It felt like stepping into the PNW but right here in our own backyard. We weren’t expecting to use the sauna in late-July but when a sudden rainstorm brought with it temperatures in the 50s, we were grateful for its warm refuge. This spot is truly magical and we can’t wait to come back in the winter to enjoy the network of ski trails.

We love camping out right next to the stream. The site was really well kept. Would definitely recommend to any one looking for a peaceful get-away.

The hosts were wonderful and inviting. There was a tent pad, room for a small RV, free firewood, kindling, paper, and a fire starter. Even though the site is somewhat remote, the hosts offered water and an electric hookup. They also offered a laundry line, lighting, fire pit, grill top, and much more. We felt very welcomed, safe, and had a great stay by the creek. Our kids and dog loved it, and so did we. We would definitely stay here again!
