Winhall Brook

About

Winhall Brook Camping Area is nestled in the Green Mountains of Vermont along Winhall Brook and the West River, seven miles from Ball Mountain Lake. The campground sits among broad grassy meadows surrounded by heavily wooded northern hardwood forest, providing outstanding fall color and diverse wildlife habitat including moose, white-tailed deer, black bear, bald eagles, and various songbirds. The campground offers 111 campsites within North and South camping areas, separated by the Winhall River and connected by a one-lane bridge with a 42-foot length limit and 16-ton weight restriction. Site options include 74 standard non-electric sites, 14 sites with lean-to shelters, and 23 sites with water and 50-amp electric hookups. Three restroom facilities provide flush toilets, showers, drinking water, and dish washing stations. Dump stations are available on both sides of the campground. Recreation opportunities abound with fishing for brook, rainbow, and brown trout in the West River and Winhall Brook. The 16-mile West River Trail connects to nearby villages and offers hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. Ball Mountain Lake provides boating, fishing, and scenic overlooks. Whitewater releases from the dam create rafting and kayaking opportunities the first weekend of May and last weekend of September.
