SUMMER HOURS


Q: Can you accommodate a 40 ft camper?
A:  No we cannot.  We have 4 sites that can fit campers up to 35 ft.  We do like to let folks know that the roads within the campground are dirt and that you the layout of the campground requires folks to make a few turns.  We respect that folks have varying degrees of comfort navigating campgrounds with their large campers and are happy to answer your specific questions about parking your campers within the campground.  We want your stay at Tree Farm Campground to be enjoyable and your vacation in Vermont to be memorable from the start.  We will be open and honest with you about our sites and respect your decision to camp elsewhere if you feel uncomfortable navigating your 35ft  campers within our grounds.

Q: Do you have onsite laundry facilities?
A: sorry, we do not. However, we have two laundromats in town less than 2.5 miles from the campground.
​
Q: What happens if i want to check-in after 8 p.m.?
A:  You must call the office during office hours to make arrangements. If you did not make a reservation, or arrangements for a later a arrival, prior to 8pm you will not be able to stay that evening and will have to wait till 8 a.m. the following morning to make arrangements. 

Q: Do you have a pool or water for swimming, fishing or boating in your campground?
A: We do not have water on our campground for swimming, fishing or boating but we do know where some of the best local spots are within a 10 to 45 minute drive from the campground.  We are also within a mile hike to the new Muckross State Park that has a large 10 acre pond open to the public.

Q: Do you allow pets?
A: Yes we do!  we love animals.  Campers are allowed to bring no more than 3 animals.  All animals must be up-to-date with their immunizations, not excessive barkers, and good tempered.  Dogs may not be left alone at a campsite for more than a hour and must be in the camper if you do leave them behind.  You must leave us with a phone number to call you if your animal becomes distressed and we need you to return to the park. All animals must be leashed when outside.  We will ask you to leash your animal if we see them wondering the campground loose.   Please pick-up after your pet, this includes cleaning up waste and filling in holes.

Q: Do you have a space where dogs can run free?
A: Yes we do! we built a fenced in dog park! We try to keep dog waste bags supplied for folks  and we have a trash can right in side to make clean-up easy.  We even put a bench in the park so that folks can relax while their pooch runs around.  Full rules for the dog park can be found attached to the fence in the park.

A: Yes we do!  Visa or Mastercard.  If you are making a reservation online we will e-mail you an invoice that you can pay with credit card.
