Erin was a great host! There was plenty of secluded space, and a fire ring! Erin was super accommodating and even supplied things like firewood and drinking water.

Erin and his family were outstanding hosts and were very kind and thoughtful. Erin responded quickly to any messages we had and provided us with a camp fire upon our arrival! The property is close to Montpelier but far away enough that you feel like you are in the wilderness! Would definitely recommend! ⛺️

Nice, quiet spot in the woods. Small hike up and down a hill to the site.

As soon as you pull into turtle hill, you can sense how deeply Erin and his family care for the land. We really appreciated how courteous and helpful he was when we arrived. The camping spot was perfect for our weekend visit to Vermont. There were lots of birds and small mushrooms all around.

I would recommend this place to anyone! Best location in town! My husband and I came into town later than expected and they were very accommodating to us even though we arrived 2 hours later than expected! It was everything we needed in a beautiful location :)

The camp site in Erin’s backyard is gorgeous! It is surrounded with amazing greenery and canopy of trees. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get away from all the crammed and busy campgrounds. It felt like we were camping out in middle of a state forest. And the best part is that it was just minutes away from town center.
