Camping site in our yard or in the 50 acre woods. Simply pitch your own tent and enjoy nature at it's finest. FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN, OTHER GUESTS, AND NEIGHBORS, WE ARE OPEN TO VACCINATED GUESTS ONLY. This is a campsite in a rural Vermont hamlet. Bring your own tent and bedding or see below for tent rental info. This place is ONLY SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE COMFORTABLE WITH LARGE DOGS, CATS, and CHICKENS. There are plenty. When I was younger and more carefree, I traveled around Europe with nothing much more than a backpack on my back and a Eurorail pass. Backyard campgrounds were plentiful there, and cheap. I have always found it to be disappointing that the US is not as amenable to backpack travelers. Camping is often expensive, crowded, loud, and uncomfortable. Sometimes campsite are located near to RV''s with noisy generators. As a tribute to the old days and European ways, we would like to offer inexpensive, no thrills camping on our property for the backpacker on a budget. Camp anywhere on our nearly 50 wooded acres of land. We'll give you directions to trails and sights, and you take care of the rest. You can also camp on the lawn behind the house if you want something easy and near to the bathroom. Of course there is always the great outdoors for that sort of thing as well.... If you do want a bathroom, the only bathroom that comes with this camping rate is the bathroom in the barn. It includes a toilet and a cold water tap. (If the barn is being rented out you may use the downstairs bathroom of the house.) We are currently working on an outdoor solar shower, but unless that is finished, it is a shower-free camp zone. Camping rates do not include use of kitchen so for meals you are on your own with that. We do recommend keeping food items in the house or barn and not the tent - as not to attract bears into your outside bedroom. Our property is at the end of a dead-end dirt road with many acres of undeveloped land surrounding it. It is very hilly with streams, boulders, and trails. The house is situated in a hamlet of four farm-y houses. It is fairly private and laid back, You are not likely to encounter any one else if you wander away from the houses and into the woods. What you will likely experience is a variety of soothing woods sounds which range from the hooting of owls to the chirping of frogs and the occasional distant howling of coyotes in the distance. The coyotes, by the way, are actually small animals, on average about 30 lbs and are not going to come near you.) There are bears around but seeing one is about as rare as seeing a moose. They are most likely to be seen in the fall when the apple trees and blueberry bushes are full of fruit. Lemony (our dog) will likely inform us all if one should wander nearby. They are unlikely to want to go near humans as they are black bears, the less aggressive cousins of the grizzlies. My family lives in the house and includes me, my husband, our young child, our dog Maggie, and our cats Trouble and Zagglepuss. We have a variety of free-range chickens running around (none of which will hurt you either! Please no campfires $5.00 extra per person after 2 people. Children under 16 are free.
