    This campsite offers a serene and picturesque setting, nestled in a charming orchard. Guests consistently mention the warm hospitality of the owner, Dan, who enhances the experience with thoughtful gestures like cider and donuts. While most reviews highlight the peacefulness and beauty of the site, a few note some navigational challenges and the basic nature of the facilities. Overall, it seems like a great spot for those looking to unwind and enjoy simple pleasures in a beautiful Vermont landscape.

    The site was great! It was fairly easy to get to, and was a beautiful place. Sadly, it rained so we ended up car camping. Next time I would love to actually make a fire and enjoy the scenery more. It was still lovely!! Thank you Dan! -Molly and John

    Very Nice
    The owners were super friendly and the site was perfect, right next to the orchard and a small pond. Very clean and well maintained, plus there’s apple cider and donuts for sale in the morning.

    We had such a good time! The land was beautiful and we loved being able to pick the apples. If you are looking for a calm place to rest- this is it! Dan was so kind and hospitable as well, and we loved chatting with him. We will definitely be back next time we are in Vermont!

    Cozy orchard corner
    Tent
    We loved camping in the orchard! Dan has an awesome spot in such a gorgeous part of Vermont! The site is large and clear, easy to drive right into, and he and his family were very welcoming. We arrived during live music so we got to enjoy the beautiful Vermont afternoon walking around to the music playing, enjoyed literally the best cider donuts we've ever had, and finished the day around the campfire. It was very fun to have the lively scene when we got there, and in the evening when people had gone it was so quiet and peaceful, and you could hear coyotes in the distance. The dewy morning in the orchard was breathtaking. We'd definitely come back!

    The campsite at the bottom of the orchard is absolutely gorgeous!! I will say though that the directions currently saying to turn North and go 200 feet to the campsite. Would have been nice to be told turn right then go 200 feet to the campsite,as I don't know my north from my south in the dark from a hat on the wall. But that is the only thing I would change as the view In The Morning was spectacular
