Welcome to our small and secluded island getaway located on the charming Isle La Motte, the smallest of the Champlain islands. Our site offers a fire pit, an outhouse, and a charcoal grill, all available for you to use and enjoy during your stay. Should you need anything, the Isle La Motte store is conveniently located less than a quarter-mile away. Explore the natural beauty of the island by visiting the Fisk Quarry preserve, the Goodsil Ridge preserve, and St. Anne's Shrine. Take short hikes and discover fossils from one of the oldest reefs on the planet. You can also take a short ride to the local orchard or visit St. Anne's shrine for a refreshing swim. Don't miss the island winery, where you can indulge in local wine and enjoy a delicious snack. The Champlain islands have so much to offer, and we can't wait for you to experience it all!

The Clearing
The Clearing at Small Island Stays offers a perfect, peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. The spacious, grassy area is ideal for pitching a tent, with plenty of room for multiple campers. The large fire pit and grill make it easy to enjoy outdoor cooking, and the host generously provides a free bundle of wood for your first night. A hammock is also set up for guests to relax and take in the serene atmosphere. Set back from the house, the site feels completely private, and the well-marked path makes it easy to find. Isle La Motte is a charming spot, with beautiful views of Lake Champlain and plenty of local attractions nearby for exploring. A wonderful escape for anyone looking to unwind in nature!

Very nice stay
This camping site was perfect for our stay at Isle la motte. It is very well located on the island. Central to all sights. I have to also recommend Kraemer & Kin which is just a jump away for a nice view on the lake and rolling greens of the golf course. Host was welcoming and gave a lot of privacy. The clearing was larger than what was expected. We had enough space for two tents, two cars and a washer game and we still had lots of space. 10/10 recommend

Perfectly private spot! It is a great size for our sprinter van and pup. Luscious trees kept another near by camp spot out of site in August. Located on an interesting island with lots of history. A great place to walk or bike around, while also just an easy hour drive into the city of Burlington if you're staying stateside. We would absolutely book again if we are in the area.

Very private and Wade’s direction made it easy to find. Island and lake are beautiful. Site is very large and secluded. I would recommend a tarp as very little shade in the afternoon. We used insect repellent all day long because of mosquitoes but they left us alone once we were covered and I imagine the time of year we were there impacts as prolific they were.

We had a quick one night stay at the property, it went super well, the spot was nice and private, and we had a nice fire. We would stay again for sure.
