Tree Farm Campground: Vermont Camping the Way It Should Be

Tree Farm Campground
Just minutes from downtown Springfield but a world away from the hustle and noise, Tree Farm Campground is a 140-acre woodland escape nestled beneath towering white pines. Family-owned and beloved for over 50 years, this peaceful retreat invites campers to slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy all the comfort and charm Vermont has to offer.

A Place with Roots—and Heart

Since its founding over half a century ago, Tree Farm Campground has earned a reputation for hospitality that runs deep. Current owners Liz and Ben greet guests like old friends and have cultivated a welcoming community that draws families, road trippers, and seasonal campers year after year. As one camper put it, “The sites are spacious and private, and the vibe is calm and friendly.”

Spacious Sites, Honest Rates

With 73 sites designed for both tents and RVs (up to 35 feet), every campsite comes equipped with full hookups; water, electric (30 & 50 amp), and septic. One of the campground’s most appreciated features is its simple and fair pricing:
  • RV Sites: $58/night

  • Tent Sites: $37/night

  • Weekly & Monthly Rates Available
No seasonal upcharges, no hidden fees, just clear, affordable pricing that reflects the campground’s down-to-earth approach.
