The camping season is mid May to mid October. We typically close for the season on the second Monday of October. We do not offer any winter camping. Deluxe Cabin Rentals are available in winter time – see more info here.
The town of Stowe is about a 20 min drive from the campground. It is a must see destination and we definitely recommend spending some time there! But also keep in mind, the town of Morrisville is very close, only about 5 min away and offers just about anything you could need during your stay – grocery stores, gas stations, shopping, restaurants & breweries!
No, we do not offer any RV storage services at any time of year. Only our current seasonal campers are permitted to store their RV on site during the winter months.
We offer a limited number of seasonal/extended stay RV site rentals on specific (Standard) sites only.
We do not offer a monthly rate. All other RV sites are transient and have a 14-28 night max depending on the site at a weekly rate. Tent sites have a 7 night max.
Traveling health care workers are welcome to contact us for possible extended stays (RV sites only).

The site lock/pick your site feature IS OPTIONAL and allows guests to select and guarantee a specific site number from our camp map. This optional feature incurs a $20 fee per reservation and is NON-REFUNDABLE in the event of cancellation. If you have a favorite site or a group that would like to be guaranteed to be all together, this may be for you! If not, you can just book the type of site and the site number will be assigned to you at check-in.
Please note that this is OPTIONAL! You may also reserve by site type (Basic, Deluxe, etc.) and you are still guaranteed that type of site but the specific site number will be assigned at check-in.
Reservations open to book online in early January for that years camping season. Specific date will be posted on the website each year in October.
