Moosalamoo Campground

About

Moosalamoo Campground sits at the base of Mt. Moosalamoo within the 16,000-acre Moosalamoo National Recreation Area in Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest. The 19 irregularly spaced sites occupy a pleasant stand of northern hardwoods including sugar maple, American beech, and yellow birch. Ferns and wildflowers carpet the understory, providing shade and privacy between sites. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring with grill, and a parking spur that accommodates two vehicles. The campground serves as a basecamp for over 70 miles of multi-use trails managed for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and snowmobiling. The Mt. Moosalamoo and Voter Brook trails connect directly to the campground loop. Less than a mile down Forest Road 24, Voter Brook Overlook offers a picnic area and an accessible path to a western vista. Swimming, kayaking, and fishing opportunities are available at nearby Silver Lake and Branbury State Park. Facilities include six vault toilets (three are accessible) and potable water from a hand pump. There are no showers, hookups, or dump station. Trash and recycling service is provided. A large mowed grass field in the center of the loop accommodates games and group activities. The nearest supplies are in Ripton, 4 miles away; more extensive shopping and dining are in Middlebury or Brandon, each about 12 miles out.
