About

Winhall Brook Camping Area is a US Army Corps of Engineers facility located in the Green Mountains of Vermont along Winhall Brook and its confluence with the West River. The campground consists of broad grassy meadows surrounded by northern hardwood forest, providing excellent fall colors and wildlife habitat. Visitors may encounter moose, white-tailed deer, black bear, bald eagles, owls, osprey, and various songbirds. The campground offers 111 campsites split between north and south camping areas on either side of Winhall River. Sites include 74 standard non-electric sites, 14 non-electric sites with lean-to shelters, and 23 sites with water and 50-amp electric hookups. During normal operations, three restroom facilities provide flush toilets, showers, drinking water, and dish washing stations. Dump stations are available on both sides of the campground. Day-use amenities include playgrounds, picnic sites, basketball and volleyball courts, and a picnic shelter. The West River Trail, built along an abandoned railroad grade, stretches 16 miles through the area connecting South Londonderry, Jamaica, and Townshend. The trail provides hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing opportunities with access to Angel Falls and Hamilton Falls. Ball Mountain Lake offers a car-top boat launch, shore fishing, and swimming. The West River is known for controlled whitewater releases from Ball Mountain Dam, typically scheduled for the first weekend in May and last weekend in September, attracting rafting and kayaking enthusiasts from across New England.
