Kinda out of the way, off the beaten path. All wooded/shaded park...nice once you're in place, but not very conducive to manuevering a 43' 5th wheel to/from your site. Very quiet, some amenities, showers clean.

We booked spontaneously a spot for tent camping at Crown Point with our toddler to visit Vermont over the weekend and we loved it. It's a peaceful, beautifully clean kept campground in the mountains overseeing a lake. Thank You for making us feel welcome. We enjoyed it and recommend this spot to friends and family.

Didn't stay here but the owner and family are fantastic people. Very clean and well kept campground. Quiet, peaceful, and family oriented.

We are very simple people, we just need a tent site in the woods, electricity and water not necessary--and the folks here not only came through, but we were impressed with the views from atop the boundary marker overlooking Stoughton Pond! Private, quiet--spacious. All of the neighbors (majority seasonal in RVs) also were super-friendly, sociable, good-natured people. Dog-friendly, kid-friendly...all you can hear at 10PM are the crickets and tree frogs. I love the history behind the Crown Point historical trail that stops up in Lake Champlain crossing into New York State as well, the cemetery across the street, and the picturesque views driving past on the way in of a local farm and meadow. Bathrooms are clean, showers are hot and free, WiFi is a cinch (though in a tent site we liked the off-the-grid feel). I cannot speak to going as an RV owner nor seasonal rate-holder, but as an old-school outdoorsy type like myself? It was perfect. My earliest memories are of this campground--In my fourth decade of life, it was so amazing to be back here after 36 years! Next time, we will save up and plan ahead to stay a week. We originally wanted to head to the shoreline and camp down Route 1, but--This was a much better choice, by far!

I wish this could have been different, the young lady at the desk was very nice when my wife and I got there. I got to the site and had no power, which I rented a site with power and water. I went back to the office to let someone know that I didn't have power and the owner was there, I waited patiently for her to get off the phone and explained my situation, I also said I checked the breakers and tried the resets, I was confronted with a "sucks being you". I was a little taken by surprise because I was not sure what was going on. it took me. second to respond and I said "well I guess so" and then she said she would send someone to look at. I left and went back to the site. no one came. luckily there was no on either camp sites around us and luckily I brought an extension cord. the next day no one came again, I live close so I drove home and grabbed a longer extension cord so it would reach our site. Never mind that the wood I bought was wet, so I grabbed my own wood from home, but that's not even a big deal either. I left Sunday with a bad feeling about what happened. My wife and I hadn't camped in 20+ yrs and thought we would give it shot again and this place was close and it looked nice. and this is how I confronted with a situation. the place is a clean place and very convenient but if you want to deal with someone like that, good luck.
