Confirmed by 1 users | Last reported on October 03, 2022We have stayed here several times since the fall of 2014. Our favorite sites are #2, #4, and #5. The campground is still fairlly new, only in their 5th year I believe. Located in the college town of Johnson, VT, the town offers several restaurants, access to the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, hiking trails, (the Long Trail passes through town) and more. The campground is clean and modern, with a pool, a well stocked store, two bath houses, one with laundry. A pavillion is planned for next season (2017 ?). There are seasonal sites here as well, and the seasonal campers make passers through feel welcomed. The view of the mountains is amazing. The owners are easy to work with. We would be seasonal here if it were a little closer to our business in NH.
Full hookups, plus several tenting sites.

Johnson is a quaint small town. This park closes mid-October for the season. 20 - 30 min drive to Stowe. Great place to stay to explore small town Vermont.

Rate reflects their weekly rate for all, 6 nights gets you the seventh night free. Friendly staff. Hard packed gravel roads & sites, sites level and spacious, facilities very clean including pool. Only issue was the showers are coin operated. Beautiful valley views. We did have minor issues with the 50A power when our residential fridge & microwave both went out. No breaker issues, I am furthest from any knowledge of electricity, but I did get sufficient power back by starting the bus again, basically maybe a reboot of the rig's system. This is a majority seasonal residents park.

The thing we care about most, when it comes to campgrounds, is having a sense of privacy and not being packed in like sardines. As private campgrounds go, this one was pretty good. We had a lot of space between us and our neighbors. A few more trees would have been nice, but overall, we were happy with our site. Some of the sites in other loops had less space, but none were particularly terrible. Compared to a lot of the commercial parks we've stayed at, this one was really pretty decent.
We loved the location. It was about 25 minutes north of Stowe, and one hour east of Burlington, right in the middle of one of the most scenic areas of Vermont. There are definitely a limited number of conveniences in the area, but that's just Vermont. Everything we really needed, we could find. If you're looking to stay in a lovely location in a particularly beautiful state, this is a great choice.
Other things worth noting: We did have to do a bit of work to get level, and some sites were even less level than ours, but again, we've seen much worse. Wifi was not available at the campsites, but our Verizon hotspot worked well. This was especially impressive since there were large areas of Vermont that we drove through which had no cell coverage at all. We also appreciated that they offered recycling.
All in all, we were very happy with this place and would definitely stay here again.

Our site had:
• insufficient electrical power to run both of our air conditioners at most times, at all times we had to watch what electrical items were simultaneously turned “on”;
• no visual privacy between sites; however there was
• nice spacing (wider sites than a typical commercial campground).
In general:
• the view from the campground is pretty (i.e., hay field and mountains in the distance), a small number of sites have that view;
• the campground was typically quiet;
• roads and sites are packed dirt, with some gravel, causing a lot of dust in the air.
We had numerous undesirable surprises upon our arrival:
• they tried to charge us a higher site cost, beyond what they quoted us for our specific site;
• we learned about surcharges (e.g., $3 daily charge to use AC or heat) and they not only charge for their wifi, but it is only available within 300 feet of their office building; and
• our bill was incorrect and it took MANY conversations for them to realize they made an error (i.e., on our bill, they applied the 6% sales tax to the site rate and then additionally applied the 6% sales tax again to the total bill).
None of the information that surprised us was:
• available on their website;
• shared verbally (even when relevant questions were asked, such as confirming that electric usage was included in the site cost); nor was
• the information included when they sent us our reservation confirmation.
Note: Our Verizon and AT&T data and cell coverage was weak at times and sometimes non-existent. AT&T’s data coverage was typically a little better, when Verizon’s coverage was weak or non-existent.

We used the park as a jumping point to Stowe and Smugglers Notch State Park. The hill going into the park is quite steep so be prepared. Once up on the park plateau, the views are great. The sites were nice and all well-kept grass. The pool was nice and so was the staff. They gave us advice on local things to do and good restaurants in Stowe. Stowe, VT is a must see and I encourage you to spend as much time as you can there. We took our bikes on the Stowe bike path which is known globally as one of the best. It was clean and the locals were quite pleasant.
If you go to Smuggler's Notch, be prepared to bring your mirrors in because the road gets tight, steep, and narrow.

Sites are well spaced, bath house is super nice, salt water pool is a bonus!
The hillside at the park entrance is a great space for Dark Sky viewing, something near to impossible anywhere else.
Decent Wifi throughout the park.

Very nice campground just 8 miles from Stowe, VT. Friendly office stocked with souvenirs and also ice cream. Site 10 is pull-through and on the end of row with a beautiful view of trees and mountains. It has no shade. Sites are not cramped. Sites 1-5 overlook the hillside and have the best views. Cable TV is provided but spotty during rain. Didn’t use the pool. Very nice and spacious showers. Laundry facilities $2-3 per load-2 washers, 3 dryers. Extra charge for WiFi and A/C or space heater use ($3) per day.

Very clean and the office was very friendly and helpful, giving places to eat, roads to drive, and things to do in the area. I was impressed that after checking Robin remembered my name, site and where I was from. Moderately stocked store with camping goods and Vermont goods. It was either rainy or cold most of the time we were there so there was no noise (everyone stayed inside) but it seems to be a very quiet campground.
We were here for leaf-peeping, so it was a perfect place to stay and watch the leaves change. It's located up a bit on the hillside so from many sites you get a beautiful view of the hills on the other side. There are too many backroads and scenic routes to mention. Close to Stowe, Jacksonville and Waterbury so there are lots of cute little towns to explore and walk around. Stowe had various activities going on every weekend and lots of really nice little restaurants, Waterbury is much more touristy and has good places to visit and by Vermont goods.
