For the past three years I've gone up to Hill Farmstead in the fall with friends and camped in the nearby Oregon Brook campgrounds. Unfortunately it looks like the campground won't be open this summer/fall, so I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for another top-notch nearby campground. Thanks!
Not sure how close you want it, but there are a lot of options at the Groton State Forrest. It is a little less than 30 miles. http://fpr.vermont.gov/recreation I have enjoyed the remote sites on Osmore Pond on a few occasions: https://www.vtstateparks.com/newdiscovery.html
Osmore pond/Groton is really nice There is Belview campground next to Crystal Lake which is probably just about the same distance from HF as Oregon Brook
Yah too bad about Oregon brook we always stayed there when biking kingdom trails. Perfectly located half way between biking and hillfarm. Hopefully they will be back next year. long Live Ed.
