Sherman Ridge, named after Captain Sherman, who was at the forefront of the world’s steamboat revolution. After running a steamboat on the Hudson in competition with Robert Fulton, Sherman moved to Vergennes in 1813 to oversee construction and operations of six Lake Champlain Steamboats.  Sited at the highest northern-most area of Vergennes, you can hear the lulling sounds of the Vergennes Waterfalls in the distance and views beyond to Adirondack Mountains of New York.

Remote lot but city accessible
At first I was worried I would have trouble finding it from the directions but it was very easy to find even at night. We set up and had a fire and enjoyed the night and next morning woke up, took a nice walk and explored the property. Would have loved to stay here another night but next time!

Scott's land is a great Hipcamp.
Beautiful spot overlooking an old orchard. Evenings by the fire and morning coffee in the swing, were our favorites. Easy walk down the road to restaurants and shops. Spot is doable with back in (or out) for any sized or type of rig.

Nice quiet spot. Nicely mowed, and easily accessible from the main road.

Great site for dry camping! It was private and quiet, but easily accessible. Also close to town. Would definitely recommend!

A perfect gem of a place.
What an absolutely wonderful place. Perfect isolated solitude with a charming 12min walk into a quaint little city. It’s everything the description and reviews say it is. If you find yourself in the area, stay here! You will NOT be disappointed. One of the best Hipcamp spots we’ve ever stayed at. We spent a week here in our class A motorhome and had an incredible time. The fire pit, the swing, the view, the sunsets(!!!) A+ and exactly the kind of place Hipcamp is best for. A perfect gem of a place. (And to speak on several comments on the grasses not being mowed, they were perfectly curated when we arrived and did not have the same issues others did. Scott was a great host who took great care in his wonderful little slice of heaven.)
