Running Bear Camping Area has a mix of shaded and open, sunny sites nestled under the shadow of Mt. Ascutney in the southern Vermont Village of Ascutney. For our guests that are looking to get back to nature, Ascutney State Park, our neighbor to the north, offers hiking on wooded trails to the summit of the mountain.

Two miles south is Wilgus State Park which offers, for a small day fee, a canoe launch to the Connecticut River. We can also recommend several free and easy points of entry on both sides of the River. Don't forget, if you just want to relax, we offer weekend activities for the children, quiet time at your site or a dip in our HEATED pool.

The campground is located close to the Connecticut River, allowing our visitors the opportunity to enjoy attractions in Vermont and New Hampshire!

We're even open year round for those who are interested in "winter type" camping activities! Our roads are maintained and we have several full hookup sites that are winter ready. Some restrictions do apply for winter stays.
