Report: Hapgood Pond Campground, Vermont



Hapgood Pond was a pleasant surprise. A little gem hidden away in the mountains of Vermont. I arrived not knowing what I would find or if I would find a campsite. My call to the Forest Service in order to ask about the place was not returned. When I got there I found a small campground, just 28 sites, in a woodsy setting adjacent to Hapgood Pond, of course, and some lovely picnic areas. All for the bargain price of $10, or for those with an Interagency Pass, just $5 a night! It was Friday morning when I arrived and there were plenty of sites available. It's all first-come-first-served, 14 day limit.

The full report is too long with too many photos to post here but it's available on my free blog HERE. Like it? Look for the Follow Russ text entry field to sign up for free email notices when I make new posts.

    I haven't been to this Lake since 1962. I bet there has been a lot of changes since I last saw it. I was living on a dairy farm with my parents not very fat away.


    I wonder what it was like back then... If the trees are much bigger now...


    The trees are the same height, you got taller.
