South Hero, VT · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Conserved by the South Hero Land Trust, the historic Sawyer Bay Farm on the Island of South Hero was converted to grazing beef cattle.
Our farm name is Health Hero Farm.
We practice intensive planned grazing, moving the cattle daily to fresh grass. The herd may be near the campsites or completely out of sight, somewhere on our 180 acres.
While we were building a house, we camped in the equipment shed during the summer and grew to value its convenience.
Joan's enjoyment of cycling inspired her to designate the farm stand as a "bike stop" where visitors could buy a snack, get water, fix their bikes and use the unique islands amenity of a composing toilet in a converted ice fishing shack.
South Hero is an agricultural island, as well as a summer tourist destination with numerous outdoor activities.
It is also only a half-hour away from Burlington, and the drive is pleasurable.
Pitch your tent, stow your gear under cover and explore all the islands have to offer. Yes, this is a summer destination, with great cycling, boating and swimming. We are a grass-fed beef operation, Health Hero Farm, on the island of South Hero.
(You can read more about us on our farm website. )
Our farm is on the bike route around the islands, with access to many other vacation activities.
Pitch your tent in the farmstead or in half of our empty equipment shed 30' x 60'. Or tool on down the farm road and be alone with the cattle and grass. In the shed, which is open on the north side, you have shelter from the rain, sun and wind. We have two campsites that can share a microwave, hot plate, refrigerator, camp sink and coffee maker in the barn. Lots of storage under roof for bikes and luggage. Our composting toilet (from Natures Head Composting Toilet) is a unique amenity -- installed in a retired ice-fishing shack (on skis).
During the busy summer months, we may have a port-o-let (a.k.a. port-a-potty) with professional service.
In the winter, the equipment shed not available. We rent out vehicle and boat storage in the equipment shed and cannot accommodate camping there. However, we have ample parking for RVs at any time of the year. And if you are an experienced snow camper, we have several locations to choose from.
We have a farm stand where you can buy a few snacks.
If you want to try our beef, we'll be happy to show you our freezers.
We are 2 miles from a convenience store that packs an amazing array of products into a small space. We are close to a gem of a public beach, a winery (Snow Farm Vineyard), apple orchards, a public school playground,
and miles of scenic driving.
Local farmers markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays offer some of the best produce from these agricultural islands. We also own 1000' frontage on Lake Champlain, which you may enjoy. It is difficult to access, but affords privacy and serenity.
We allow campfires on the gravel areas of the farm and on the beach, where you can gather dead wood.
If you want to host a large group, you will need to reserve both campsites and rent a port-o-let (Vermont's lingo for porta-potty) if we don't already have one. Additional fees might apply. There is no RV electrical hookup; however, the equipment shed has electric outlets for your use. Additional fees apply for energy intensive appliances, such as heaters or air conditioners.
There is no water hookup; however, we can fill your tanks with a hose from a potable water supply. Generators are not allowed, unless you are sufficiently distanced from other campers and our neighbors. Other accommodations may be available. Just ask!
We have many resources, and want you to have a great visit.

“Ubuntu”
Def: An ancient African word meaning “Humanity to others”. It is a reminder of “I am what I am because of who we all are.” We do our best to bring the spirit of Ubuntu to our lives and property that we have been graced with.
We hope your visit to Ubuntu will be peaceful and rejuvenating.
Ubuntu was the PERFECT place to observe the Northern Lights on Friday and Saturday (May 10-11).
Campers at Ubuntu found the perfect spot to observe the April 8th TOTAL solar eclipse. There are no lights, no neighbors in sight, and they had the freedom to choose their campsite or observation point, whether it was on the flat, nestled in the trees, or on top of Carney Mountain. RV’s also easily found a spot to camp. New friends were made as everyone observed the eclipse. It was totally awe inspiring in so many ways!!
The open areas and the top of Carney Mountain, which is a short hike with panoramic views of the area, were perfect spots to experience the solar eclipse, Northern Lights, sunrises and sunsets. The 115 acres of Ubuntu offer many opportunities for camping, hiking and enjoying the abundant wildlife. There is a wet area that sometimes becomes several ponds if the beavers have been at work. There is a path leading to the ponds and also one that runs through the woods to the right of the ponds.
The location is private and quiet but still very accessible (only 10 minutes from Exit 34 off the Northway) to all the Adirondacks has to offer, such as biking, jogging, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and hiking. Ubuntu is located only 45 minutes from Lake Placid and the high peaks areas, Saranac Lake is about one hour away, Lake Champlain is 20 minutes away, and Montreal is one hour away. The ferry to Vermont if you wish to cross over the pond (Lake Champlain) is about 45 minutes away. And Exit 34 off the Northway is only 10 minutes from Ubuntu.
And if you love equestrian sports, the Willow Hill Equestrian Center is less than 1.5 miles away. Bring your horse and stable your buddy at the Willow Hill Farm, or sign up for a lesson with one of their accomplished instructors.
Your furry pets are welcome, but we ask that you keep them on a leash if they tend to chase game or do not have a reliable recall. Please use good judgment. There are many deer on the property, so yes we do have ticks. Please take the necessary precautions.
Generators are allowed but in keeping with the peace and tranquility of Ubuntu, please run them only between the hours of 12:00 - 2 PM, especially if other campers are present.. If there are no other campers then use at your own discretion.
We hope that your visit to Ubuntu will be a great experience that you will enjoy and treasure!
In Peace,
Aisha and Moussa

Weekend Trip to Camp TedRock Adirondack Retreat
Found this spot doing some last minute planning for the fourth of July. The property is secluded yet still a short drive into town. There is a cabin for sleeping and a separate cabin for cooking with ladies bathroom. The host has another building in progress for a shower! Great basecamp for hiking trips, nearby swimming holes and the Chestertown challenge trails.

The Pump House is a perfect camping site. Perched above a cove, the site offers a peaceful spot to gaze out over the lake. We enjoyed watching the Osprey that dove into the water many times each day. There were turtles to watch too. The view of sailboats docked just off the site has the picturesque quality you'd see on a puzzle box. The site is definitely removed and quiet from any action at the marina. The main part of the marina is not visible from the site. We were not there on a Friday, but it sure appears that the site is prime seating for the summer Friday night concerts. The marina has an immaculately clean and charmingly decorated bath house with plenty of hot water. We hope to have the opportunity to visit here again!
A few things to note: The site is high above the water, maybe about 15 feet. From the site there is a straight drop off to the water that appears to be the old Pump House wall. Because of this, I wouldn't recommend the site for children. Also, because it is a former industrial site, there are some metal and concrete remnants surrounding the area, so it is important to not walk around barefoot. Finally, there is a fair amount of Poison Ivy around the site's perimeter. It's less Poison Ivy than in my yard at home, but you do need to keep an eye out for it.

This location was a lovely place to stay. The hosts are very detailed and make sure all the basics are taken care of. The surrounding land is beautiful and the beach is close by. A very convenient location.

Loved the location on the banks of the east branch, we didn’t have any neighbors during our stay but the sites were fairly spread out anyway. Portapotty was very clean. Only thing that wasn’t perfect was the road noise but it did die down by the evening. Great base camp!

The Plateau at the Bridgeview Harbour Marina in Port Henry, NY, is an idyllic site and truly our most favorite HipCamp site EVER!!! There are many things that make this so: Firstly, it has not only a breathtaking view of Lake Champlain’s Vermont shore—which is largely undeveloped and green and natural!—but the Bridgeview Harbour Marina itself is charmingly picturesque. Secondly, The Plateau is amazingly spacious; so large, that if one sets up at the lakeside edge of the site, it actually feels rather secluded. It is a great space for a large group, which can include dogs! [Even the Dockside Cafe allows pups on the shaded outside dining deck!] Our camping gear included a truck tent, two additional tents, a Clam kitchen shelter, a “privacy” tent, a badminton set and a SlumberJack tarp and we barely took up a third of The Plateau’s land. Pro tip for this site: Definitely bring your own shade! The Plateau is entirely exposed and our SlumberJack truck tarp provided us protection from the sun. Another great positive of this HipCamp site is that it includes a quaint and very clean trailer set up with a men’s shower and bathroom, a laundry room with child changing station, and a women’s shower and bathroom. Also, ice can be purchased onsite at the marina. We visited the weekend before July 4th and were blown away by how largely quiet the marina was all weekend. Our wonderful hosts warned us that it was a “working marina” and, therefore might be busy, but it was relatively tranquil.

This is my third time visiting Ubuntu, and won’t be my last. The tent sites are spaced out well and very well kept. Our first day was heavy with rain, but our location was easy to set up and dried quickly. You are so close to some amazing things, we visited Plattsburgh during a rainy day and had a great lunch and walking around downtown. The Ausable River is one of the most beautiful sites I’ve laid my eyes on, if you go to town of Jay they have a covered bridge and easy access to the river below, locals and tourist both go down to swim, relax, and if your like me look at all the blue shiny labradorite the sun can reflect on the river bed.
Moussa was a great host, responsive and extremely friendly, thank you Moussa for opening up this space for people to enjoy.
Lastly, seeing the night sky from here is beyond words, we came at the full strawberry moon and it was breathtaking!

Blueberry Hill is such a great spot. Very quiet, dark skies, and close to many fantastic outdoor activities. Sheri even had some high quality firewood ready to go at the site. Could not have been better. You have easy access to very clean restrooms and fantastic outdoor showers! This is Vermont!

Beautiful set of campsites each separated by a small wooded area and sharing a common large open space with a larger fire pit. Without other campers we placed our tent near the water at the common area. Very nice host who we met several times. Their house is barely visible through the tree line. Very nice outdoor shower set up!

We had a wonderful stay! The location is unique. Although the campsite is close to the road, the soothing sound of the creek close by made it feel peaceful and completely secluded. The surrounding forest is magical, with moss-covered rocks, fresh mountain streams, and was beautiful to explore. It was the perfect place to relax, we would absolutely stay again!
