About
Bingo Brook Campground is a primitive dispersed camping area located along Forest Road 42 in the Green Mountain National Forest's Rochester Ranger District. The campground features 10 designated campsites spread along Bingo Brook, a mountain stream that provides a scenic backdrop for camping. Sites are situated in a northern hardwoods forest with some shaded and some sunny areas, offering easy access to the brook for wading and cooling off. This is a true backcountry experience with minimal amenities. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations required. There are no fees to camp here. A basic pit toilet is available, but there is no potable water or trash service. Campers must treat or filter water from the brook and pack out all trash. Cell phone service is not available. Access is via Vermont Route 73 to Forest Road 42 near Rochester. The road is not plowed in winter, making the campground difficult to access during snow season, though it remains officially open year-round. This campground is best suited for tent camping and smaller vehicles; it is not recommended for RVs or large trailers due to the forest road conditions and primitive site design.
Directions
From Rochester, take Vermont Route 73 west to Forest Road 42. The campground sites are located along Forest Road 42 alongside Bingo Brook.
