I was so excited for the weekend that my boyfriend and I booked. We booked T03 for 3 nights and from the pictures it looked like a secluded kingdom.
Once we arrived we were met with the reality that the campsites T01-T03 were 20 steps from the parking lot where other campers parked and hikers would park before the Mt. Mansfield hike. We could also see the neighbors on each side us, the campsites are very close to each other. We were met with loud campers, constant noise of people unlocking their cars, turning their lights on and hikers coming early to hike. It was 4:17am and our tent was met with LED high beams and someone’s mini van playing a podcast loud enough I could hear it clear as day (that says something since I’m partially deaf).
The website and campground certainly makes the campground look further away and more secluded from the other campgrounds which we found to be the opposite.
Overall I can say we didn’t get a decent camping experience. Upon walking around the campground if you pick something further away from the parking lot you might get a better experience than us (we mainly picked our spot so we could be in close proximity to our vehicle). The bathrooms were super clean. I just suggest to everyone to be courteous to the campers in T01-T03.
