We have a small dog, so the pet friendly part was a big plus! I desperately wanted to go camping this past weekend because we didn't get a chance to go as much this summer as intended. It was about a 2 hour drive from home so it was a nice little road trip. I would have to recommend getting everything you need food and camp site wise before you reach the grounds. We had to leave a couple times for firewood ($3 bundles of dry wood that burns great, about a 20 minute drive from camp though, but half the price.) We stayed at site #18 at the end of the horse shoe. Although there are other campsites close by in that loop, I still felt like we had adequate privacy and for majority of the time were not disturbed by noise from other campers. This park seems to be a good one night stop for other campers heading farther up north. There are a lot of families, but there are also a lot of couples, and groups of twenty something's out to have a good time. Basically, whatever reason you are looking to go camping, this place will accommodate you well. I could see where the bathrooms were at the top of the hill from our campsite, so night time trips to and from were easy and I felt safe. The bathrooms are also very well kept for just a toilet and a urinal. There are plenty of hiking trails, and some people even spotted a Moose as well as some young Bears. The women that work the registration office were very helpful and pleasant, and let us know where we could find anything we needed. We actually stayed while there was a blood moon and we didn't even know it! It was crazy beautiful and so close it felt like we could reach out and touch it. Overall, great find and we already are talking about next year :)

Also known as Recreational Area Otter Brook Lake, this picturesque park was a perfect hike to enjoy…read morethe fall foliage. Technically, the park is closed for the season, but foot traffic is allowed. There is a small amount of parking near the entrance and we walked into the park from there. A map shows the layout of the park and where dogs can roam on and off leash. Otter Brook is lovely with babbling water flowing over large rocks. The leaves on the trees were brilliant shades of red and yellow. White bark of the birch trees framed the forest. There is a bridge over and along the Brook. Picnic tables, grills and pavilions are available when the park is open for the season. Further back, we found Otter Brook Lake, created by the Army Corps of Engineers. The lake is sparklingly with reflections of the trees. There is a beach on the lake, but swimming is not currently allowed. There are two restroom facilities and more parking, that were closed for the season. Paved and unpaved trails wind around the lake. There was no charge to enter the park (10/24). Lovely and quiet make the park a win in my book.

This is my first time on an alpine slide and I am older and the two people on 2 chairs ahead of me pushed through the opening to get on the lift and I was with my 12-year-old grandson and that's what I thought you were supposed to do so I did that because 2 othe chairs had done pushed the little gate through. The lift operator allowed them to do that without stopping them or saying anything to them. When we did it, unknowingly, and we have plenty of time to get on the ride and we're on the line to sit on the left, he made a spectacle out of us and stopped the ride and made us turn around and go back around to the little green gate thing even though we are already at the line and had plenty of time to get on the next lift chair. He did not do that with the first two people that did it, however he did it with us. We're standing at the line to sit, he shuts the ride down with all the people on it to make a spectacle out of us and prove a point. He makes us walk around to the beginning gate and says he's skipping every third chair. Then when we get on the ride and I look back, he didn't skip any chair or 3rd chair and everybody was getting on every chair. And then we went on at one more time and he again stared us down and skipped a chair before putting us on the lift and had kind of a smirk on his face. I was apologetic the first time but then seeing that he wasn't putting people on every third chair, I knew he was just being a little jerk about it. And then he remembered us the second time too and made sure that I felt uncomfortable then as well. So he made us uncomfortable the first time by making a spectacle out of us, stopping the lift making us go back and start a new at the gate even though we're already at the line and had plenty of time to get on the chairlift and then also the second time making us feel uncomfortable. The date that we went was August 5th and it was thr exact guy/ teenager that puts you in the seat. That was fully and wholly disappointing and made both my grandson and I feel completely uncomfortable which was what he wanted to do for some reason. You might want to speak with him. Disappointed

Not sure of his name but one man in particular was extremely condescending, arrogant, and rude. My fiancé lost his chair lift pass after one run and he didn't have the ticket stub so there was no way for them to look it up. Unfortunate situation but it is what it is. The front desk staff led by a Mr. Roger's look-alike handled the situation so poorly. We walked out of the office after being talked over for 3 mins straight and spoken to like we were 5 years old by that guy. This was my first time coming here but I won't be returning. I'd urge the company to make sure their customer service agents are actually willing to serve customers, not belittle them. If that guy wasn't a complete jerk, we probably would have bought another day pass because the conditions were perfect and we really enjoyed the one run we got in.

It's fairly easy to get to - there aren't all that many roads in Vermont, so as long as you try and stay on the main ones, you'll get to the Outdoor Center eventually. It's that place right next to the cheese factory (!!!) with all of the cross-country skiers milling about. The lodge at the bottom is charming, complete with snack bar, rentail center, and crackling fire in the fireplace. The woman at the front desk and all the staff at Grafton Ponds (actually...pretty much everyone we encountered throughout the day), were so friendly. I saw a sign for a student discount after I had paid, and she refunded the difference in price to my entire group right there, on the spot. Our ski and boot rentals looked brand-spanking new, and trails were maintained beautifully. Speaking of the trails...a great combination of terrain. The trails were equally divided between flat, open-field skiing and winding, rolling, throw-yourself-downhill-and-hope-you-don't-hit-a-tree skiing (my favorite). The map is clearly marked, and trails are well-labeled. There's even an adorably rustic warming hut at the highest point - it has an old woodstove, some benches, and a lovely view. Grafton Ponds is lots of wholesome, outdoor fun for all ages and abilities.

I only give 4 stars because I feel this place could do a little better with more in-wood trail and fun stuff. We already look forward to come back to the area just for this.
