Camping in southwest VT
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/8/06
We were expecting the sites to be a bit larger & more spread out since it's a pretty large park, but a big tarp on a clothesline helps with unfriendly neighbors, which we were surprised to find quite a few of.
New bathroom & showers, very nice. Bathrooms are cleaned at least 3x a day if it's crowded, less when it empties out a bit. Showers are free & all tiled, you get your own room with a locking door - 2 handicapped & 2 regular. Very nice field - bring a frisbee. The hike to the Mt. Olga fire tower is nice, but very muddy if it's rained recently, & you can't see the view because the windows are filled with graffiti.
Easy to get to, nice shops down the road to the west. Firewood is $4 a bundle, but there's a place down the road that'll sell it - we got it for $50 for a medium sized pickup truck full. They are talking about outlawing bringing in firewood to any state park, so check first. In any case, it's hard to beat $14 a night.
