Site 5 - Birds Eye View Vermont

Nice view, quiet, and peaceful spot. David was ready to greet us when we arrived, he had fire wood available and brought it up to our site. The wood was wet and we had a hard time getting it to burn, the site has a slight downhill slope so we had to work to level things out. Also, make sure to bring your own toilet paper, there was none in the outhouse. We had a great day at Silver Lake State Park. Overall we would comeback and stay again.

Site 2 - Birds Eye View Vermont

This is definitely the best camp ground I’ve been to. Very spacious and the view at night is spectacular.

Site 7 - Birds Eye View Vermont

Great Views; Okay Campsite

We stayed at Campsite 7. There are 7 campsites on this property, we went on a busy weekend. All of the campsites were booked. The toilet was a 3 minute walk. Pros: - no light pollution; amazing star gazing - no cell phone signal if you want to get away - Mountain View’s - clean bathroom (bring own toilet paper) Cons: - close to other campsites. We were approximately 15 feet away from campsite 6. We could hear their conversation at normal voice levels. - Weird Campsite Layout U shape w/ two big trees in the middle dividing the site into two areas that made it feel isolated from each other. Not good for big groups (we had 3 tents) - On a Hillside; not level We kept sliding in the middle of the night because the ground was uneven. There is not a single flat surface for tents. - Host sold us wet firewood (Buy your own wood)

Site 4 - Birds Eye View Vermont

Best view around!

Site 4 is the best view, by far! Nothing fancy. Just a pull up spot on som mulch with a fire ring. There’s a fantastic watering hole about a mile down the road for proper washing. I had some decent trouble starting a fire due to mostly wet wood and no kindling. Overall, great place!

Site 2 - Birds Eye View Vermont

A Perfect Campsite for Some People

Not exactly what we were personally expecting. There were lots of pros and cons personally for us about this campsite. Pros: The host was so incredibly kind, the stargazing was absolutely breathtaking and the area was lovely. Cons: This campsite wasn’t what we were personally expecting. It is not private at all. We stayed at Site 2 and you are in a meadow surrounded by other campers, there isn’t a single tree so you are basking in the sun with no shade and no privacy at all. The only shrubbery around you, is thorn bushes; so be careful if you have a dog or little child. If you are looking for kind hosts, beautiful stargazing and communal camping, site 2 is for you!! But if you are looking for a quiet, secluded, woodsy campsite that’s private with just you and your companions where you can just be in nature, I wouldn’t recommend site 2. Wasn’t what we were hoping for but we still had fun! Thank you for having us nonetheless!!
