Autumn foliage across the hills of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom

Derby, Vermont · Northeast Kingdom

A little corner of Vermont where the view goes all the way around.

Welcome

Camping where the air is purer and the grass is a wee bit greener

We invite you to spend time in the clean, unspoiled beauty of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

Roam our woods, explore our country roads, and fish in the area’s many streams and lakes. Then return to our grounds to marvel at a true 360° panoramic view of the lakes and mountains … maybe even from your campsite itself!

We would love to share our little corner of Vermont with you. Put some time aside to come and enjoy your stay with us, just shy of the Canadian border, where the air is purer and the grass and trees are just a wee bit greener … until, of course, when they explode into the colors of autumn.

For the kids

Fun taken seriously

Between the pool, the playground, the inflatables and a season’s worth of planned activities, the hard part is getting them to sit still long enough for supper.
