After 45 minutes of driving, we decided to call it a lost cause, and set our GPS for home, however, several hundred feet ahead we saw a hand painted sign (!) for a state park. We had found it, albeit nearly impossible to find. The park we visited was the Zen Garden. A really nice little place with pools, bridges, a ladder, chairs and a great view. It was worth the effort to find, because we de-stressed and relaxed in the near perfect silence. We also saw plenty of wildlife ranging from frogs and tadpoles to chipmunks and dragonflies. A nice break and escape from civilization.

Vermont is gorgeous, and this is one of the best places to camp…read more I recommend one of the sites on the south side of the pond - there are other sites that are right on the shore of the pond but they are more cramped. we stayed at Aspen and it was very spacious, complete with a large lean-to which proved very important during the wild summer thunderstorm. you can buy ice and firewood at the ranger station and rent boats to paddle around the pond. There is a strict Quiet Rule in effect after 10 pm, guaranteeing a good nights sleep. There is a 5 mile, well-marked trail from the campsite leading to nearby Lake Bomoseen. if the park staff had refilled the soap dispenser in the bathroom, it would have really been a 5 star camping experience.

First time to half moon state park, but certainly not my first to Vermont state parks…read more My mom and I went to half moon for our annual girls weekend. We got a nice big campsite that had a basic picnic table and a nice fire pit. A little too close to the neighbors and they had a dog that barked at us constantly and once the dog got loose and made a run for us. It was just a pug and not intimidating at all, plus I love animals so it really didn't bother me much. The park itself is very nice, the bathrooms are top notch for a state park, I was very impressed with them! One of the stalls was out of TP the first day that we were there and on the second day the middle stall was out of order. The park is nice and quiet at night despite there being quite a number of people, I think 10 pm is reasonable time to ask people to be quiet past. If anything that's a generous time, 9:30 would have been alright too! I'm happy to hear they reenforce the quiet time rules because some people like a good night sleep and if your coming here to party, go else where. The pond is small but a interesting ecosystem, we rented two kayaks and floated around the lake for about a half hour before heading back in. The Lilies were beautiful! At the beach some people must have been feeding the fish because they were grouped up close to shore and when i stepped into the water, they seemed very interested in me to the point of following me around like little water bound dogs. It was really remarkable and for some reason or another I really enjoyed them. Glen lake is just up black pond road, huge lake with clear, clean water and it would make a really good place to go boating. There is a trail that is probably around 3-4 miles, pretty easy and has a lot of nice views of the lake especially up on the vista which is a slightly more difficult hike up, hiking shoes would be useful here because its a little steep and rocky in places. Very quiet trails, we only saw 2 different groups of people. If you find you need some supplies, go right on to route 30, will go down to lake bomoseen and castleton area. There is a nice general store that actually accepts credit cards! We picked up some cabot american cheese for our burgers and gram crackers for s'mores. Penny candies (5 -25 cents) too, I couldn't resist! All and all it was a wonderful weekend.

If you seek unspoiled, rustic camping, here you go. There are 17 sites, first come first serve but…read moresome can be pre reserved. There are two vault toilets and no running water. We stayed at site 6 and were lulled to sleep by the sound of the babbling stream. The setting is stunning in regards to silence and solitude. On arrival, we met the surly hostess who later in our stay, revealed her true self; a sweet and helpful support. Our last night, around 9 PM, two super charged Rubicon's from New Jersey, rolled in, all lit up with LEDs. The loud Millennials put on their bright LED headlamps and bright LED lanterns and set up camp. What ensued was door slamming and at times, loud convo. This went on until past 2 AM. Truly, this crowd was in the wrong campground. Otherwise, we loved hiking around the area. We loved the proximity to Rochester. We loved off the grid camping. We left a bit tired from lack of sleep, last night but otherwise, Chittenden was close to camping heaven.

If you're looking to get away from RVs and have a real rustic experience - this is your place. The…read morecampground is located about 2.5 miles down a dirt road, which means RVs and trailers might have a hard time accessing it. There are 17 spaces in total and the cost is $10/night. There are outhouses but no potable water. I recommend bringing at least one gallon per person, you can get water from the creek to wash your dishes with, just boil it first. In fact, you should stock up on everything before coming here because there are no towns nearby and the campground host does not sell firewood. There is an oddball couple that sells wood, they're just a few miles west on the highway. Be careful of their dogs and get ready for some weird stories. Most of the sites are good and spaced apart enough to give a moderate sense of privacy. A few of them are fairly close, maybe 25 yards apart. So you're going to hear what your neighbors are doing. Each site has a fire ring, picnic table, tent pad, and parking for at least one car. The campground is shrouded by trees, so you'll feel like you're in the wilderness (which you are), but won't be able to see much of the stars at night. There always seems to be vacancies, but you'll want to make a reservation to get a site along the creek, which sounds so peaceful at night. Most of the other campers were respectful, except for one group that was playing some lousy music. I've stayed here twice and will probably do so again. Moosalamoo is nearby, but I found it to have zero privacy and there's no creek to fall asleep to. Chittendon Brook also has some trails nearby, the campground trail only takes about an hour and you can go to Beaver Pond and soak in the absolute silence of the place. Chittendon Brook is where it's at.

The rest rooms and showers are clean and easily accessible, however, the motion lights are only on for a couple of minutes, so you have to move around if you want the lights to stay on. Also, kinda weird, but one of the showers in the men's room is coin-operated, but not the other shower. Come to find out the coin thing doesn't work, but you wouldn't know that because there's no sign to say so. It was fine, though, because the other shower was working with no problems. The pool is EXCELLENT and well-maintained. You can see that the owner takes great care of the pool, and given that the weather was quite hot and humid, the pool was a godsend! On the minus side, the office was always locked when I went there. You can call the owner's number, but that gets to be a pain. They mention a camp store, but I suppose that's in the office, which, of course, was locked. I just went into Brandon to buy what I needed which is only three miles from the campground. The owner charges for each bag of trash which he says is one of his biggest expenses, but I don't know why he just doesn't simply bake in the cost of trash in his rate to camp there. The biggest pain was the dumping station. For whatever reason, the dumping station is roped off with posts in the way so I couldn't drive my camper close to dump my black and grey water. I didn't have a long enough hose to reach, so what I had to do is use my black/grey water portable tank to dump from the camper and then dump in the dumping station. This delayed our departure by a good 45 minutes to an hour. All in all, though, I would recommend Country View Campground.

All the sites located in the very front of the park were on grass by a pond, which meant no dust and not having to wash the coach or car after our stay. This park is located across the road from the lake which made for a beautiful view from our site. We were in the site closest to the front and the road, but traffic was minimal and we found it peaceful enough to sit outside and enjoy the sound of the pond frogs and the view. Too many large trees here for satellite reception. Almost the whole park (in the back) consists of long term residents but their sites were all clean and well kept.

We reserved our spot way in advance, as we always do because we prefer sites that are on the end…read morebecause they generally offer a little more room and privacy. We used their website to reserve site 14, which showed it was on the end. We arrived after a long day of driving our Class A and towing a trailer. After checking in, a very grumpy man 'escorted' us to our spot. He showed us the wrong spot and we said we need to speak to someone. We had to go back to the front and my husband spoke to a very snotty young lady and tried to sort it out. He showed her on his phone the spot on their reservation site that we reserved and she agreed, but needed to call the owner. At this point I came to the office to try to reason with them. After awhile, an extremely rude man came in with a terrible attitude. He was constantly on his phone; either pretending to be busy or recording me. Who knows. When we tried to rationally talk to him and show him the site we reserved on their website, he laughed and said, "I don't have to do anything. I'm the owner and I can do whatever I want." He refused to even look at our phone to show him that their reservation website is wrong. We paid an extra $25 to lock this site. He said both sites were patio sites, but one is on the end with more separation and some trees blocking the site next to it, while the other has another site right on top of them. The sites here are the closest I have seen in four months of traveling full time. And just to add, the road noise is pretty bad, and what is the deal with the resort fee? So overpriced for what you are getting. Never was there an apology. Their solution was for us to move on the day the others arrived. No other option. We spent almost $1,000 there for eight nights. he obviously did not care about our business. What a way to run a place. We only stayed one night because it was late and there was nowhere else to go. We left the next day and they charged us for two nights and refunded the rest. This place was a terrible experience that literally left me in tears in how we were treated. Highly recommend skipping this overpriced joke of a place.

The park hosts 4 cabins, 22 tent/RV sites, and 21 lean-to sites located around two paved/well-maintained dirt roads on the premises. It appears to be open Memorial Day weekend to late October. It is a breeze to find, easily located just off Route 100. The Appalachian Trail runs right through the park so you may catch a glimpse of some thru-hikers on their journey between Maine and Georgia! The park is very well-maintained! The campsite was neatly raked, the fire pit cleaned out for use. I stayed at campsite #1 and it was quite spacious...a bit further removed from the road than the other campsites. The whole site was marked out with a fine gravel, plenty of room for parking and maneuvering the car. Each road loop contains modern bathrooms and coin-operated hot showers. There are areas for picnicking, volleyball, horseshoes, trash/recycling, and drinking water. Kent Pond is just across the way complete with boat launch and fishing! Booking and check-in were a breeze for this location. I called 10 days before our intended arrival and got a site no problem. On arrival, the ranger at the park office was very friendly and sold us firewood and ice straight from there. If you need any assistance during off-hours, the ranger lives in a cute house attached to the park office. They encouraged us to knock on the door at any time if we needed help. The campsite is pet-friendly and I came across quite a few well-behaved dogs during my stay. Quiet hours are from 10pm-7am. The park itself is pretty quiet all day long... I heard nothing but birds chirping, trees rustling, and a bit less-welcoming: the traffic from Route 100. This didn't bother me so much since I generally wear earplugs to sleep but something to consider if you prefer a more rustic atmosphere when camping. Tent sites are between $20-$22/night, $27-$29 for a lean-to site, and $50 for cabins. There is a 2-night minimum for reservations. Affordable, clean, convenient... I would definitely stay here again!

It's a shame they don't pay any attention to the onsite facilities.

The showers come with guests, plenty of spiders and a nasty ass curtain to greet you.
