No complaints! The owners were very nice (this is their last year here and selling the property, so can’t say much about future owners). We stayed for a little over a week and had no issues (The first night we couldn’t get the power on, but all they needed to do was flip the breaker). Our spot didn’t have a campfire and was close to the neighbors, but the neighbors were never home (I think they just rented the spot to store their RV). There are spots that have more room and fire pits by the river though. It was quiet at night. The owner had daily activities. A good central spot to everywhere we wanted to go (no more than a 2hr drive)- White mountains NH, Stowe, Woodstock, etc. I would definitely stay here again. Signal was 2 or 3 bars LTE

The campground is nice, with great access to the calm, and relatively shallow, Israel River. Very well located near the White Mountain National Forest, with just a 30-min drive to either Mt. Washington or the Flume Gorge.

We booked based upon Campendium recommendations but were very disapppointed. Unless you are a tent camper the Onion River is not in view and campground has not groomed along the shoreline or removed dead trees; thus it is hard to see the river unless you access it thru one of the tent sites. The biggest issue was loud traffic noise from US 2. I should have anticipated this by looking at a map, but missed it entirely. We found our close neighbors to be very nice young people. Park has so much potential but needs work. Too many campers for the little washroom/showers, in my opinion.

We stayed here 2 nights in July and it was absolutely beautiful wish we could come back in the fall. The people are amazingly friendly, not just the staff but everyone we saw. They had blueberries you could pick (if ripe) and we saw a small apple orchard that were not ripe. Wonderful trails through the meadows, and a lovely “creek” with access for fishing. My kids had a blast exploring this campground. We had water and electric in a large grass site. With the Passport America discount it was $20 a night. They have a dump station that was easy to use. We did not use the showers so I can’t comment on them other than they were there. Side note this is about 30 min from the first Ben and Jerry’s factory (make sure to schedule a tour online) and 20 minutes from Montpellier.

Passport America good for any stay, making this the best deal in Vermont. We almost turned around and looked for some place else, but found a spot with 30 amp and sewer and decided we'd try it for a night. Most sites that aren't seasonals are only 20 amp. The two men who own it are wonderful, delightful, friendly, so happy to have people stay with them. Had to stay a few more nights even without WiFi or cell service at all. We would have extended our stay if we'd had either one. Satellite (Direct TV) connected. Power and water pressure worked great. Showerhouse a bit iffy. I think there's a hostel by the office, or just a lot of young people renting the building. All very nice. Entrance road is rough and narrow and some sites look very uneven. Our site however was completely level. The river runs behind the sites and some campers were catching good size trout. Large space behind sites with fire rings under the trees. I'm very glad we didn't give up on this little park and we'd stay here again when in the area.
