All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say the pitch is private.

Our HipCamp is set on a six-acre property featuring three acres of mature maple trees and a historic 200-year-old home that now operates as an inn. Campers are welcome to stop by in the morning for a cup of fresh, hot coffee or our inn's legendary breakfast for $15/person. As of 2025 we now include a full bath located in the building with direct access from an exterior door. This is a "shared" bathroom with any other hipcamper's but we super duper rarely have more than one hipcamp group at time so it's likely all yours. Located seven miles from Middlebury, the site offers both a quiet retreat and easy access to the town’s shops, restaurants, and cultural events. The surrounding area is rich in literary history—Robert Frost spent 39 summers nearby at the Bread Loaf Campus, drawing inspiration from the landscape. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty of opportunities for recreation. The Green Mountain National Forest trail system is nearby, offering biking, hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing. The Rikert Ski Touring Center and Middlebury College Snow Bowl provide additional options for winter activities. Per our town fire marshal, fires are only permitted when there is a full blanket of snow on the ground or with a permit with the Ripton fire department.This pull-in location is next to a small barn and our little inn. We have simple 20amp hook up. We don’t have a bathroom specifically for Hipcamp so you need to have a toilet in your RV. However, if we are not already fully booked at the inn, you can reserve one of the inn’s full baths if you’d like nice warm shower or bath during your stay. Just inquire in a direct message and we can work it out.

Great little spot to camp for the night in an adorable village with a lot of history and very cool 100-year old general store across the street. Drove up to the Robert Frost trail which was amazing. Appreciated having an electrical hookup too.

Perfect spot for accessing trails in the Green Mountains and local restaurants and amenities. Communications with Elizabeth were easy and helpful. She was incredibly welcoming and made our short stay enjoyable.

It’s a lovely spot, easy to find and perfectly flat for any RV / Camper. Elizabeth is a gracious host that went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The breakfast and cozy atmosphere in the morning was so very lovely. Even our toddler thought it was the best morning EVER. The well-preserved historic inn is quite charming. We had a truly wonderful time and expect we will make this a go-to spot when we visit this part of Vermont.

Lovely visit! :)

25 ft Class B · With pets

Elizabeth's RV spot, next to her historic B&B, was perfect: great location to attend a nearby writing conference, right across the street from the country store, great walking, hiking, and cycling nearby, an easy stroll to the river. Elizabeth and her family were so accommodating and friendly, yet allowed us all the privacy we wanted. We even had the option to join other guests for breakfast with a minimal fee. We had several nearby options to dump our tanks. A lovely stay! Will definitely stay here again.

Elizabeth runs a beautiful historic inn on this property as well as having two sites. We stayed for 3 days and absolutely enjoyed ourselves. Elizabeth was super accommodating and answered all of her questions about things to do locally as well as what's going on in the area. I absolutely would recommend staying here to anyone.
