The campsite offers a mixed experience with a touch of both serenity and challenges. While many guests appreciate the seclusion, beautiful surroundings, and friendly hosts, others have faced issues with maintenance and accessibility. The trail to the site can be tricky due to overgrown paths and construction materials around the parking area, which some found unsettling. Despite these challenges, the natural beauty of the quarry and the provision of essentials like firewood and water are commonly praised.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
Overall I had a nice experience and the site is secluded and private once you get there . Tara was friendly & the family honored the privacy of guests .
Cons:
The haul from the car to the site was challenging during unloading & loading. Having expected to use my car during camping, this made it very challenging .
The trail to the site was not completely obvious needing grooming and removal of debris. A wagon is highly recommended
Parked, you are in a cluster of construction material, a hitched SUV, and another site/cabin. Walking past all of this each car trip was not enjoyable and a concern for car tires near the construction material as some of the boards on the ground showed nail holes.
Driveway was very rutty, especially after the rains - potholes were deep & full. Smaller cars not advised.
Trail to the quarry was not tended. the quarry itself was lovely, but shoreline was littered with neglected boats, knee high grass, & abandoned beachside things.
I wish this was a better review but it’s an honest one. I’d guess the care for this property was demoted in priority, as it does w/ a small family.
Tara was quick to respond to texts & her husband returned my cooler to the car that I gave up trying to carry mid way since I’d need to return it for night time/bears.
I think if a little more attention was given this could be an ideal spot with lovely hosts

We unfortunately had a very disappointing experience that we feel compelled to share.
We booked based on the photos and reviews, expecting a relaxing glamping getaway. However, the condition of the site was far from what was portrayed:
- The tent had visible mold and dirt, and we found trash behind the bed, which we moved just to avoid the mold.
- The steps were unsafe — the last step is broken, and my wife twisted her ankle walking to the bathroom at night.
- There was animal feces on the top step entering the tent.
- The entire site was overgrown — including the picnic table, which was unusable, and the fire pit area, where ticks dropped onto us from the surrounding brush.
- The skylight was patched with duct tape, so we couldn’t see the stars — one of the key reasons we booked this site.
- The kitchen gear was dirty, and the entry path was a muddy mess, with the side trail nearly impassable.
- The furniture inside was damaged, and a few of our personal items even broke when it collapsed.
We understand camping comes with a level of ruggedness, but at $250 for one night and with the site advertised as a more polished “glamping” experience, this felt extremely misleading.
I reached out to see if they were open to discussing that this experience did not reflect the listing or justify the cost. We did not receive any response.

Cool spot, great hosts. Set us up with a bunch of firewood and told us exactly where to go. Private campsite, felt secluded and natural. Nice spot with everything we needed.

My wife and I enjoyed the Cabin @ Quarry Brook. The cabin was well maintained and equipped with everything we needed. Lots to do nearby in VT.

Geodesic Dome at Quarry Brook
We had a great time at the dome. It was easy to access nearby trails and the town of Putney was fun. The site itself was comfortable, clean, and very relaxing. Plenty of necessities provided along with helpful small touches like the wagon to get your items to and from your car. Would definitely stay again.

Camp at Quarry Brook
Had a great time! Didn’t even realize they had an outhouse for the tent site when I booked it - and that made our experience way more comfortable. Felt very private from any other site, and is a beautiful place with nice fire cooking gear (grill to put over flames, nice non stick pan for searing). Nick was very nice!

The dome was the perfect relaxing getaway we needed. The land & quarry were a treat for us & our pup to enjoy… we really enjoyed the privacy of the dome, enjoyed our evenings by the fire pit, & even with a rainy night, the wood stove & cozy dome made for a wonderful way to enjoy. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality!

Great spot! Dome is spacious and comfortable. Cleanest outhouse I've ever seen. Site is private and only about a one minute walk from where you park. Host provides big wagon to haul your gear in and out.
The quarry/swimming area is by far the best part of this property! Absolutely gorgeous little spot. Clean water and super easy to access.
Highly recommend this spot

Loved camping here, felt secluded and scenic. Campsite was well cleared out with a functional fire pit and picnic table. A little over a half mile hike to the quarry which was very fun.

We had a great time camping at quarry brook. We stayed 2 nights on the tent site. The site was secluded and the Hosts were super accommodating when we needed water and firewood. We packed a little heavy but they provided us with a wagon to get our heavy cooler down to the site. East putney falls was about a 10 minute drive and an awesome little swimming hole. Perfect spot to getaway for a weekend.

Beautiful, peaceful spot only about a half mile hike to the quarry for swimming. Overall the area was perfectly shaded and secluded, the only thing we heard was the occasional dog barking. Potable water and firewood were provided when I got there which was really nice. Definitely will plan another stay in the future.

Really awesome private campsite tucked away from the rest of the property. Very simple, easygoing check in and we greatly appreciated there being firewood and a large container of water at the site when we arrived. Perfect, simple campsite, would recommend.

Camp at Quarry Brook
Great little spot to go tenting. We easily got three tents in the camping spot and enjoyed the hike to the quarry and even did some fishing there. Wood and water was provided and even though you have to make a small walk to the site from your parked car it is worth it! Very private and we enjoyed the location.

We enjoyed the location but were disappointed in the lack of communication. We had requested the add ons and did not receive a response until after the weekend had occurred. This was also true for a second question that was also not answered prior to our stay. We were happy chairs were provided and enjoyed the hike to the quarry.
Additionally there was lack of instructions, the fan was on at arrival so we assumed that it was used to vent. We built a fire and upon going to sleep woke up freezing. We later determined with the fan off it was indeed toasty, but were thoroughly disappointed this was at the expense of our comfort the first night.
Lastly we had expected to be able to see through the skylight like sleeping under the stars, however it was not clear and you could not see out at all. The window on the side had a great view which we enjoyed.

I loved camping here! Beautiful land and perfect amount of privacy to hammock/tent camp. Access to hike the land down to the quarry was such a cool experience. Would camp here again.

This place is PERFECT!! We went for New Year’s Eve with our kids and dog and we had the best time!! It was between 20-30 degrees outside but the dome stayed between 60-65 degrees the whole time with the wood stove going! The hosts provided linens, cookware, towels and a camping stove. The electricity was a huge bonus and the twinkling lights made it all so cozy. We all did not want to leave!

Cabin Retreat at Quarry Brook
Great cozy little cabin with a nice homey feel. Love that its accomodating for dogs and even has water/food bowls :) Be careful on the road to get there its muddy(at least for us) and even with 4wd we were slipping a little. Also be careful on the stairs to the loft, very steep but nothing to complain about. Really loved the stay and the nice warm wood stove. There was also everything you needed to cook and have coffee, minus the coffee grounds. Would highly recommend :)

What an awesome weekend! As soon as we drove into the neighborhood we were surrounded by beauty! There property was stunning and exactly what we were looking for. After a short walk down a small hill we were in the beautiful wilderness at our campsite. There was a wheel barrel to help lug in our gear and Nate delivered a fresh pile of dried wood we ordered through our hosts for a cozy fire. The first morning we woke up and hiked to the quarry. With clear instructions from Tara and very well marked trails it was only a short 20 minute nature walk. The Quarry was more than I expected. An awesome little tuck away in the woods with chairs a volley ball net on the beach canoes and a dock in the middle to swim out to. We had a blast and enjoyed a polar plunge! We then hiked to the view on the top of the Quarry. We ventured out later that day into town and there is so much to do in this cute little community. We will definitely be back. AND THE FARMERS MARKET ON SUNDAY WAS DELIGHTFUL. 10/10 recommend. there were four adults and a dog. The campsite was plenty big for comfort.
