BREWSTER RIVER CAMPGROUND
Jeffersonville, Vermont

If you are seeking a quiet and beautiful corner of Vermont for relaxation or great outdoor recreation, bring your tent or small trailer/RV to our campground. With only 20 sites on 20 acres, you won’t be dealing with crowds of people. Our “no pets allowed” policy ensures you safer, quieter, and cleaner camping. We enforce reasonable quiet hours and other regulations so that everyone will enjoy their stay, respect their fellow campers, and protect the environment.

2008 SEASON - The campground will open May 16 this year.

VEHICLE RESTRICTIONS!

The access road is NOT suitable for vehicles over 19' in length or those towing a trailer over 14' long. The turning radius off and onto VT 108 makes entry and exit unsafe for longer vehicles and we CANNOT accommodate such vehicles. Since we provide neither sewer hook-ups nor a dumping station, camping units with interior plumbing cannot be accepted, in accordance with state regulations.

Our location off the scenic highway through Smugglers’ Notch provides an ideal base camp for outdoor recreation. We can direct you to great hiking in the area, arrange for guided canoe trips, put you in touch with fishing outfitters, and you can rent bicycles in the village.

The Campground

At the campground itself, we offer panning for gold and other opportunities to study nature and enjoy the outdoors. There is fishing on the property and beyond; licenses for varying period can be purchased in the village.

Relax alongside or in the river; most of it is ankle to knee deep, but there are some larger “swimming holes” as well. The biggest is just below the 40-foot waterfall — you are expected to add some rocks to the dam each time you visit, though.

We offer 20 tent sites. The sites along the river have trees and 50-foot frontage, but no hook-ups. There is a large field for group camping. We also accommodate up to three trailer/RV sites that have water and electric hook-ups (sorry, no sewer hook-ups). These are about 50 feet back from the river.

There are two special riverside sites - a lean-to (three-sided shelter 8 X 16 feet, open on the river side) and a 19-foot tipi with its own swimming hole. Each can comfortably sleep a family of six. There is room for a tent on each of these sites as well.

All of our sites are about 2,500 square feet in size and provided with a non-tipping picnic table and a metal fire-ring with grill or a rock fireplace. There is parking for at least one car at each site.


If you listen to music or the radio while staying here, we request that you use earphones to avoid disturbing your fellow campers.





The Rates

The base rate per night is $20 for a tent site and $25 for a site with hook-ups, both including tax. The lean-to and the tipi each rent for $30 per night ($31.50 with tax) for 2 adults and up to 3 children. There is a charge for additional persons, usually $5 per adult, $2 per child. Group camping, which must be arranged beforehand, is on a per person basis.

NOTE! GROUPS, other than families, CAN CAMP ONLY WITH PRIOR APPROVAL to ensure that the type of camping we offer is appropriate for the group.

The bathhouse has flush toilets, free hot showers, a dishwashing station outside, and even wallpaper border and fresh flowers in the ladies’ room! We pride ourselves on keeping the rest rooms clean and encourage campers to help keep them pleasant for everyone.

We practice “green” camping and try to reduce the impact of our visitors on the environment. You will be expected to help protect the environment by:

Camping supplies, including ice and food, are available at a convenience store 2 miles south and at a traditional Vermont general store or the hardware store in the village of Jeffersonville, 3 miles north of the campground. The village also has a bank with ATM, a coin-operated laundry, restaurants, and shops.

Directions

DIRECTIONS: There is no public transportation serving the area, so you will have to get here by vehicle, bicycle, or on foot. The campground entrance is on VT 108, two miles north of the Smugglers’ Notch resort and three miles south of Jeffersonville. The northern access point for VT 108 is from VT 15 at Jeffersonville and the southern access is from VT 100 in Stowe. The drive from Stowe through Smugglers’ Notch is best made during daylight as the seasonal road passes between towering cliffs, well worth a visit in themselves.
