Quarry Brook

4 sites · Lodging, Tents100 acres · Putney, VT

It all started on a first date in Boston....Nick had to excuse himself to take a phone call. His cow had fled its pasture. Much to Tara's surprise in that moment, this man she had just met was finishing his engineering degree at Northeastern, but was simultaneously building a homestead in Vermont. Fast forward 7 years, and here we are, building the life we only dreamed of. We yearned for simplicity. Deeper connections to our surroundings and mother nature. A calmer sense of place. The satisfaction that comes from growing food. Creating with our hands. We're a working farm and homestead. Every day at Quarry Brook is a new adventure, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re incredibly excited to share our little corner of southern Vermont and what we’re up to with you!

The best camping near Jamaica State Park guide

Overview

About

Despite its name, Jamaica State Park is not located on the island in the Caribbean. Damn! It’s actually on the eastern edge of Vermont’s Green Mountain National Forest. Sweet! Spanning 772 acres on a bend of the West River, it’s about a half-mile from the center of the town of Jamaica (ah, now it makes sense). And though it’s most known for its paddling pastimes, Jamaica offers a host of other activities including hiking, fishing and camping. Scattered about the park you'll find tent, RV, and lean-to sites.

Just outside the campground there are some stunning sights. If you’re willing to wander due north, the West River Trail eventually branches off toward the must-see Hamilton Falls. The falls are a breathtaking geological feature, definitely snapshot- (or at least selfie) worthy. Following the trail south, you’ll come upon The Dumplings. Again, don’t be confused. These dumplings are actually glacial erratics (AKA large boulders) in the river. They’re a favorite playground for whitewater boaters and a scenic view for the rest of us!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Jamaica State Park is during the summer months, from late May to early September, when the weather is warm and the park is fully accessible. Winter brings a quiet beauty, but be prepared for cold temperatures and limited access due to snow.

Know before you go

Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Be aware of park hours, which typically run from 8:30am to 5pm, to plan your activities accordingly.
Remember to pack essentials like water, snacks, and a first-aid kit for your outdoor adventures.
Stay informed about any trail closures or area restrictions that may be in effect during your visit.
Take advantage of the available amenities, including picnic areas and restrooms, to enhance your day out.
