Our family recently ventured out to Vermont to enjoy some new camping adventures after seeing a post on Facebook about openings here during Labor Day weekend. It was not in our original plans to travel during that weekend but we decided to go for it anyway and WOW, are we glad we did! Tree Farm Campground stands out from other campgrounds today because of the genuine family-owned feel that you simply do not get at other campgrounds, even the ones that are still family-owned. Elizabeth and Ben are great people who are knowledgeable and passionate about the outdoors. They are not running a campground to take your money or push events on anyone. When you come here, you are family and immediately taken care of. They bring you and any firewood you order down to your site to ensure you get into your spot okay. I was so delighted to see the folks who came in before us were helped with their camper to get into their site. Not many campgrounds still do that.
Bathrooms are exceptionally clean and stocked often. Because it is family-owned and operated, there are not many staff. If the store is closed, you can text directly or use their radio system located at the store and they will come right up. They have some ready-to-eat snacks and basic camping necessities for sale in their camp store as well as general camping shirts, Tree Farm Campground apparel, magnets, and handmade jewelry.
They do have events like cornhole and bingo but they have a home-like feel to them and are not resort-like, unlike many places. The bingo crowd consisted of mostly seasonals, who were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. For the kids, they have a duck hunt and a picture scavenger hunt. There is a room that has games for all and a spot to sit and relax.
Our favorite thing was the peace that came with camping here. Everyone was respectful and quiet. Not a peep was heard at night and no one was walking around visibly impaired. In addition to everything mentioned above, another big thing for us is that we only saw staff on golf carts. We cannot express enough how pleasant it was to not have to see and hear packs of golf carts by seasonals or weekend travelers. Just happy people walking and enjoying the view. Too many campgrounds with an overwhelming amount of golf carts but you will not find that to be an issue here at all. Just truly a gem of a family campground.
For us, we would love to come back several times over. We love to camp and travel whenever life allows it and so far, Tree Farm Campground is our favorite place in all of New England. We just purchased a newer truck to haul a small camper and we cannot wait to be back.
