“Camp with your Steed!”

Welcome to New Discovery State Park. As early as 1704, Native Americans and the French were using routes through Groton to reach Canada and Massachusetts. Colonists settled this area of Vermont slightly earlier than the rest of the State through the accessible network of waterways. The rocky, tree covered hillsides were originally cloaked with white pine, spruce, hemlock, beech, maple and birch. These were logged by local farmers for lumber, fuel and potash. The logging industry was large-scale for almost 100 years while the railroad was operating. Today, logging is still a vital industry in the area, but has lost some of its dominance in favor of modern society’s leisure time movement - private cottages/seasonal homes and a variety of outdoor recreation activities. The campground has 46 tent/trailer sites and 15 lean-to sites. Seven of the sites are designed to accomodate horse campers. All restrooms include hot showers ($). A sanitary dump station is available, but there are no hook ups. There is a play area, horseshoe pits, a picnic pavilion, a pond for fishing and access to miles of hiking trails.

Pre-checked in -- host was very helpful with directions and suggestions. We were there after school began so there were not too many campers. This park is less popular with those who have motorboats and jet skis since Osmore Pond is paddling only -- which makes it great.

Online site is fairly restrictive as to size limits - give the host a call if you are running into problems since they often can ignore those restrictions and get you in a site, which will have plenty of room, that fits your rig.

There is no ATT coverage nor camp wifi. I suspect that Verizon is also limited. There is a good number of volunteers who keep the grass mowed and the place spotless. Rent a kayak or canoe if you are without one and give Osmore Pond a try -- it's quintessential Vermont.

There are no hookups but a number of places to get fresh water -- and a dump station. Showers for 50 cents are fine and the facilities are kept spotless.

If you like quiet camping where you can read, hike, cycle, and paddle this could be a good spot. You can use your pass to visit Boulder Beach for swimming or to check out the many other state parks close by. Weekends get crazy in the summer so make sure to make reservations well in advance.

It was quiet and the restrooms/showers are are very clean. There are several trails, and also a small lake where you can rent canoes or kayaks. No power, water or sewer hookups but there is a dump station. There are several places to access water. There are shelters if you do not have a tent and also tent sites. There are more shelter and tent sites than rv sites.

I love this park. Staff was great.
I stayed in the tent loop in my minivan. There is a lovely tent loop, which also has lean-tos in nice shady spots. In the middle of the loop is a large grass area with some nice trees. The grass area is where I would park a TT or Class C.

The park - like most Vermont State Parks - has no hookups, but each loop has a couple water spigots and a nice bathroom. Showers take quarters for hot water.

There is a small pond great for paddling which has remote leanto sites around it.

I loved my stay here.
