Secluded Camp Spot
Beautiful camp spot in a private section of the property surrounded by conifer forest and ferns Good setup for the outhouse and composting toilet Steep path down to the area with the camp spot so be prepared for a short hike. Erin and Lindsay were very helpful and provided water and fire wood and kindling for the fire circle area. I had a wonderful stay at this site and would happily recommend turtle hill to other Hip Campers.

Secret oasis in Mont pelier
An exceptionally beautiful site, we arrived late from Canada so we had no phone service to contact the hosts, regardless of the late hour of our arrival they were more than welcoming and helped us bring our kit down to the site. The site is gorgeous and tranquil, we even saw a family of black bears! Erin and her partner made sure we had enough water and we were never worried about contacting them for recommendations, advice, or help with our stay (although none was required) I highly recommend this beautiful yet fantastically accessible site

Quiet and tucked away right in Montpelier. Just stayed the night and left early so did not use the amenities but there was an outhouse setup and campfire.

Erin created a very well thought out camping spot that has everything you need while still retaining a feel of being completely in nature. There is running and drinking water and soap, which is so useful. The privy is a nice distance away from the camp spot while still being very convenient. The privy is not a port a potty, which is great, His property is beautiful and well maintained and he is conscientious about bear care. Erin is a very welcoming and kind host. I couldn’t be happier with my stay!
