This was our first time staying here, on our way home from Acadia NP in an RV. We were in site 1 and had no issues. The staff was welcoming, the campsite was clean and flat & fit our 27' RV. The bathrooms were typical campground bathrooms; except this campground uses tokens instead of quarters. A 50 cent token gets you 5 minutes of showering (buy tokens at the checkin station). The showers get HOT (thankfully!) with great water pressure. We enjoyed the slate quarry and sunrise trail. Unfortunately the mosquitoes were bad this time of year (June), but it's nothing the park can change. We would definitely come back again!

It’s a well managed and clean camp ground. Tad smaller than usual but works ok for one big tent. Got more than usual noisy after quiet time for one night. Close to the town and has access to groceries if you need to. There are 3 trails with one ending in a swimming hole (stream)

This is a great state park. The camping sites are great and mostly level, though most are also really shady, so if you want a sunny site, be aware that there are only a few here that would fit that requirement. We were here over the Independence Day holiday and it was not really full. We like the peaceful atmosphere and that it’s easy to travel to local attractions from here.

Fort Dummer in Brattleboro, VT is our go to camp site when we visit Vermont. We love that it is secluded enough to give us a nice peaceful outdoor setting but close enough that we are not traveling miles out of the way for quick visits to town. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive and we appreciate them. The campsites are well maintained and restroom and shower areas are clean, brightly lit and bug free. I was especially happy for the bug free part. Bring quarters for the showers. I was surprised that despite being in the forest I was rarely bit my mosquitoes or flies. I recommend this place 10/10 for every campsite visit when in Brattleboro, VT.

One of my favorite places to be. Convenient to the highway, close to a store, dog friendly. Well maintained sites and facilities.

The check in was easy, I was fortunate to be in an empty part of the park so it was nice and quiet. Site was clean, no complaints. Would camp again.

We found Fort Dummer to be a very cute and quiet campground, there are many different campsite depending on your wants . They have lean-to where you can took your self in and feel alone.the campground was over very quiet . They did seem to have a couple of people living there, which freaked me out . I understand the times but I can not vacation and have a good time if I see that .we were right near the bathroom and a 5pm on Sunday they closed it and at 7 it was still not open . I'm not sure why ? The bathrooms on the side that we stayed were not easy walk to get to either. You have to go uphill or downhill, depending on your site .

Nice enough park, but really only 2 small loop trails, sunset and sunrise. Each trail is about 1 mile and each has one Scenic view about half way in. The sunset trail starts at the end of the play field and there is no sign for it until you walk to the end of that field. Easy to miss. There is a third small trail that goes to a pond. I didn't take it, but it's supposed to have a bit of an incline on the way back. The park has camp sites. Day access is $4 per person.

Well-maintained and pretty campground but the noise from surrounding traffic is absolutely audible and prevents sleep and quiet moments. This campground is a very good jumping off point to explore other areas in Vermont. The staff was very kind and helpful at check in.

I stayed here for a night with some friends (who were staying longer than I was) - it's a very clean feeling campground. The bathrooms were well maintained (also I would hope this would be the baseline for bathroom cleanliness in the times of Covid), the sites are big and flat, and there's a swimming hole you can walk down to! The campsites are close together, and I could see all my neighbors, but everyone was respectful and it was very quiet at night. The only minor downside is that I could hear the occasional passing car on 91 at night, otherwise this was a great campground (it also has accessible campsites!) for a chill night with some pals.

This park is good for a quick weekend getaway with friends for drinking and talking. It reminds me of the commercial campgrounds we went to when I was a kid. The sites are fairly close to each other and I'm glad we were on the outside of the loop, because the bathrooms are at the very center of the interior facing side loop and there are multiple paths going into them, making the sites not very private. All of the sites are very close to the road and the neighbors are mostly visible. There doesn't seem to be much hiking and the park has I-91 on two sides. It is great that town is really close and the highway is good in that it makes the park super convenient to get to.

I spent most of my time in the campground, which was gorgeous. The sites were the biggest I have ever, ever seen. Wow. Flat, private. Showers weren't too bad, typical state park esque. We took a short walk on the trails abutting the campground, which provided nice views of the green mountains. Also, this campground is dirt cheap, something like $14/night.
