About

Chittenden Brook Campground is nestled in a beautiful northern hardwoods forest within the Green Mountain National Forest, approximately seven miles from Rochester, Vermont. This small, semi-remote campground offers 17 irregularly spaced sites along a wooded loop, each equipped with a picnic table, fire ring with grill, parking spur for two vehicles, and a gravel tent pad. Two barrier-free vault toilets serve the campground, but no potable water is available. The campground serves as a gateway to extensive recreation opportunities. A 7.5-mile trail network designed for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing begins at the campground and connects to the Long Trail National Recreation Trail. The Chittenden Brook area offers mountain vistas, waterfalls, pristine streams, and opportunities for mountain biking, swimming, river tubing, and fishing. Wildlife in the area includes white-tailed deer, moose, and black bear. The campground is best suited for tent camping due to the narrow access road. Sites are available through Recreation.gov, with some first-come, first-served availability. Quiet hours are 10 PM to 6 AM, with a maximum 14-day stay within any 30-day period.
