Was R6921LMandream at Common Grounds a mag?
We were placed in a zone with lots of folks who appear to be staying longer-term (furnishings and decorations out, etc. . Didn't see much of them, as we were out most of the day doing stuff, and crashed out later in the day. Hookups are conveniently along the side, where it's easy to connect, and the restrooms are nicely kept up and in working order. We were grateful for the wifi (which has several sub-networks throu...

My husand and I started camping in a tent when we had no money for big vacations. We loved that we could get these fantastic family friendly resort like feeling vacations within our means. Camping is for everyone!!! As we have aged and our paychecks have grown we have up graded to pop ups and travel trailers and some day, maybe even a Class A bus. We continue to love our local campground in VT, NY and NH where we can get away for a time and connect as a family. Large family meals, walks and bike rides, swimming and fun events that campground do for their guests. I love that my child has grown up in campgrounds where she is safe to wander (and if she gets lost people are always willing to help). I love the people we meet, the friends and experience we get have because we camp. I love the safety and calm I feel at a campground knowing that all those around me are feeling the same things. I am not saying we haven 't had our fair share of people that have drank a little too much, or a smoker in the capsite over that smokes like a chimney, a camper that plays their music too loud, but NEVER in all my years at any campground I have been to have I felt so disrespected, unsafe and down right horrified at the behavior of a group of campers at Maplewood Campground in Johnson, VT. Members of this large group were intentionally walking through our sites in an effort to intimidate us even after we asked them politely to walk around. When we got the campground staff involved, several members of this group became enraged. To have a man point at me and my 10 year old daughter and tell me you just wait, I am going to lay that guy out after the camground owner and his group had already pulled him away from hitting my husband and threatening my brother in law and my Father in law is unbelievably disturbing. While I am being threatened to the point my child crying and thinking this man was out to get her. The group of women were laughing, taunting and telling us that we are getting what we deserve. This is the 1st time my daughter has ever seen violence and truly horrendous adult behavior in her 10 years and I am truly sorry she had to witness this in a place we have always told her is safe. Her eyes are open to world and I feel her innocent is shattered due to this place. When a campground has rules and all parties are NOT following the rules chaos ensues and that was what this was. True calamity. And the heart break is this owners of the campground sided with the bullies and chaos over rules and family values. We were forced out of my happy place by thugs and bullies. I try not to bad mouth businesses but when their job is to keep us safe and they fail in that job, I feel the need to speak up. Maplewood Campground Step up and do better. Sincerely a very disappointed mother, camper and human.
We’ve camped all across the US and rarely see campsites this large. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. The staff are accommodating and pleasant. The views of the mountains are breathtaking (especially in the Fall. The out buildings are always super clean and have the typical pay showers if you need them. The salt water pool is divine with an incredible view of the mountains. The camp store/office is a beautiful building and nicely stocked. Prices are reasonable (including ice, wood and a yummy ice cream shop! and it can usually get you out of a pinch for camper supplies or grocery items, but there’s also large stores within 10 minutes. Their entertainment pavilion is lovely and they have fun activities for the family and music some weekends. Maplewoods is a great place to just relax and enjoy the outdoors and those around you... but if you’re looking for things to do there is a recreation path (Rail Trail for biking/walking and a river for tubing just a few miles away and many lakes/ponds and hiking trails within a 10-15 minute drive. This is a quiet, tucked away destination with so much to offer (almost hate sharing. ?
The Iced Chai Lattes here are the BEST I 've ever had! Also, order some goop huge, soft chocolate chip or M&M cookies that are perfect for a late night snack. The only thing they 're missing are To Go vegan lunch options; but you can get veggie stick snack cups to hold you over...
