The owner, camp hosts, and guests were accommodating and friendly. I booked the reservation blind and could not have been happier with the location, amenities, and company. Highly recommend!

Will was so nice and accommodating. He knew so much about the area, and even emailed several guides and recommendations so we could make the most of our time. We will definitely be returning, and recommending to all!

Great campground. Centrally located in northern Vermont. Close to Stowe. We even made a side trip to Montreal.
Will was awesome! Asked what we were interested in and sent us several emails with links to restaurants, things to do, hiking trails, etc. Top notch!

Incredible spot! Great park, superb amenities, great location. Will and crew at Smugglers Notch RV Village were incredible to us. Even before we arrived, they helped us with a booking question, getting us info on the area etc. Our stay felt more like staying on family property than an RV park. Truly made us feel welcome and honestly didn't want to leave after our 10 day stay. We cannot recommend this place highly enough. P.S. location in relations to the notch and Stowe is super convenient. Right in the heart of a ton of stuff to do. Don't skip this place if you plan to stay in the area. A+++

(Translated by Google) I really appreciated the availability and cleanliness of the facilities and outdoor play equipment; Will provides everything we need
for our enjoyment. The eucalyptus scent in the bathroom was a pleasant surprise. It confirms that the hosts are very attentive to their guests. I highly recommend it! (Original)
J'ai beaucoup aimé la disponibilité et la propreté des lieux et des équipements de jeux extérieurs; Will met tout le nécessaire
à notre disposition pour notre plus grand plaisir. L'odeur d'eucalyptus dans la salle de bain m'a agréablement surpris. Confirmation que les hôtes sont aux petits soins pour les passants. Je recommande vivement!

(Translated by Google) What more can I say that hasn't already been mentioned? The pickleball court and equipment are brand new! We were the first to use it, much to our delight. Maple, our canine host, would have loved to play with us. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Will, the owner, was quick to respond to our every need. The showers are well-maintained with eucalyptus-scented products that remind me of a spa. I'll definitely be back! (Original)
Quoi ajouté de plus qui n'a pas déjà été mentionné. Le terrain de pickleball et l'équipement sont tout neuf! Nous avons été les premiers a l'utiliser pour notre plus grand bonheur. Maple, notre hôte canin, aurait bien voulu jouer avec nous. Nous nous y sommes senti à la maison des notre arrivée. Will, le propriétaire, était prompt à répondre à chacun de nos besoins. Les douches sont bien entretenues avec des produits à l'eucalyptus qui me rappelle l'ambiance des spas. J'y retournerai sans hésiter!
