     Over 200 years ago, our ancestors established the Peck Farm to sustain their families and build a community.  Eight generations later, we strive towards the same goals. Our farm is conserved through Vermont Land Trust and is an active farm featuring cropland, maple sugar woods, and apple orchard. Learn more about this land: Your camp site is a flat mowed lawn next to our orchard irrigation pond. The pond is fed via solar pump which is located in the wetland cow pasture just beyond the site. The camp site is situated between 2 woods a wetland and our pick your own apple orchard. A variety of bird species can be seen and heard throughout the day and in the evening. The area is a well used animal transition zone with deer, black bear, bobcats, turkey and many others. A fire pit is available, swimming in the pond is allowed. There is a traditional 2-hole outhouse 600ft from the campsite. Power hookup for charging is available on the property as well. Fall campers will have full access to our corn maze, apples, apple cider, cider donuts, dry hard cider and hay rides. The site is 6.5 miles from the capitol of Montpelier.

Stay in Vermont

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
