Grout Pond Campground

The site I reserved was absolutely inadequate for camping. Luckily there was a nearby first come first serve campsite available. Site 15 is a table and fire pit on rocks recently laid as a driveway. There is no area for a tent and no shade. When I first saw the site I thought I had mistaken it for a truck turn around area. Being nosy I did check out the campsites along the pond itself which looked incredible.

Very peaceful and beautiful. Located at the far south of the green mountains, it feels remote without having to make the drive. The weekend I was there all the trails around the pond were being widened or something so trucks had torn everything up making it super muddy.

Great site. Reserve well in advance since it's super popular and goes quickly.

False advertising!!! When we were looking to camp we wanted things to do while we were there and when we saw that Grout Pond said under activities that there was canoeing and kayaking we were excited! But when we showed up there was absolute nothing there and only could do those activities if you bring your own kayak or canoe. There were many signs about bears but no service to call anyone. If we were attacked there would’ve been no way to contact emergency services. There was no running water whatsoever. When we got there, there were signs that said handicap accessible but yet nothing was really all that accessible. Would never come back because of these reasons.

Very beautiful and quiet. 16$ honor system fee per night

Honest and helpful staff

After 10 years of camping at site 9 I won’t be going back. The site renovations have completely removed all privacy screening between the site and the trail. It doesn’t appear that there was any thought to drainage as the new 20x30 crushed stone platform essentially dammed the water flow through the site and results in swampy ground adjacent to three sides of the platform. There was puddles of standing water all around the platform. The trees removed to make room for the platform resulted in far greater sun exposure and thus made it extremely difficult to hang a tarp. For some reason the fire pit was located on the uphill side next to the trail instead of down by the water.

The site photo is wildly inaccurate - it's barely a wide spot in the road, no flat place for a tent, and the fire ring is in the parking space. It's a long way to the pond, no view, no coverage, with a broken toliet sorta nearby. I left early.

The campsites are beautifully done and the view over the water was breathtaking! We’ll be coming back again. This is a wonderful place to camp!

Wonderful, secluded campsite (site #1). It's close enough to walk from the parking lot (5 min walk), but bringing most of the gear in your kayak is the best way to go since it's a bit much to carry on foot. It took us three kayak trips to get our gear to the site. But enjoyed them all! Beautiful lake, very calm. Great to swim in! And the site has an area for children to play. We also walked the whole loop around the lake with our 4-year-old.... who grumbled a little, but later said the loop was the best part of the trip! I highly recommend this campground.
