About
Chittenden Brook Campground offers a peaceful camping experience in a beautiful northern hardwoods forest approximately seven miles from Rochester, Vermont. The campground's 17 sites are situated along Chittenden Brook, a pristine mountain stream that feeds into the White River, making it ideal for tent campers seeking a more tranquil setting. The campground serves as a trailhead for the Chittenden Brook trail system, which meanders through mature hardwood forest, passes a beaver pond, and connects to the Long Trail National Recreation Trail. The area provides abundant recreation opportunities including hiking, mountain biking, swimming, river tubing, and fishing. A 7.5-mile trail network designed for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing is open to summer hiking and serves as a connector to the Brandon Gap Backcountry Recreation Area. Wildlife in the area includes white-tailed deer, moose, and black bear. Note that the access road cannot accommodate trailers over 18 feet, and the campground is best suited for tent camping.
