Peaceful and well-maintained, however, over half of the park are mobile homes and seasonals which leaves only a handful of spots for overnighters. There are two rental cabins on site.

The park is spotless and provides a gathering place for morning coffee. Check in was efficient. Small laundry with two washers and one dryer. There is a grassy area in the middle of the campground with horseshoes and a shady picnic/reading spot. We enjoyed the opportunity to allow our dog a leash-free run in the woods.

There are a couple of good restaurants nearby (Longboards and Cuccia's). Golf and hiking are abundant. Cell service is good. $46/night includes 9% local bed tax.

Open Memorial Day weekend through the end of October, this small state park is a popular gem! We arrived on June 21 and had our choice of spots, but the upcoming weekend through the summer months are booked. Call (802.775.5354) or reserve ahead (www.vtstateparks.com).The park's 22 tent/trailer sites, 21 lean-to shelters and 4 rental cabins are all well cared for along with the restrooms. Firewood and ice are available. I gave this campground an overall 5-star rating but we found a couple of sites with less-than-easy access for a 30' trailer. This park is not equipped for large motorhomes (30'+).

Established in 1931, the ranger's house was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. Over time, acreage was added to its current size of 285 acres. You may see through-hikers on their Appalachian Trail journey which travels from Georgia to Maine.

Things to do in the area include great hiking trails and the nearby ski town of Killington which offers family fun, golf, mountain biking and gondola rides. Rutland, a larger town with all the amenities, is a 12-mile drive away.

Traveling in a 30' Airstream, we would definitely camp here again!
