This is a large clearing at the entrance to a forest road in Green Mountain National Forest, near Pittsfield, Vermont. Not a proper campsite. Likely a snowmobile staging area. Winter maintenance ends at this point, and there is a farmhouse within eyeshot a short distance down the road. Supposedly more campsites down the forest road accessible during the warm season. No cell service. Felt safe. Only recommended if necessary.

This is a discreet clearing right off of a paved road, at the entrance of a Class IV road between Grafton and Chester, Vermont.

Not recommended, except out of necessity.

This is the parking lot behind MKT in Grafton, Vermont. I spent the night here with express permission from Ali who runs MKT. It is immediately next to private residences. While it was nice to be in town for wifi and cell service, this location is not recommended. Private property. Very little space. Do not stay here without express permission!

This is not a campsite. It is an improvised camping location off the side of a four-wheel drive accessible forest road. It is a wooded area, it's discreet, and cell service is good. Location is suitable for only 1 vehicle, and is not recommended at all. I spent the night here out of necessity.
