In search of a peaceful tourer site with a bit of history attached? Gus’s Gardens, just outside Wilmington in Vermont, might be the place for you. Here the handful of spacious, neatly mown sites are set in 10 acres of leafy grounds surrounding a handsome private homestead built in the 1860s.
The list of facilities is fairly minimal – there’s internet access, a barbecue and a few picnic tables scattered among the wildflowers – so you’ll need to be in a self-contained vehicle. Binney Brook runs past the pitches, and there are lots of walks for you – and any accompanying pets – to have a stretch of the legs. Please keep your dogs on a lead or under effective vocal control when on the property.
Downtown Wilmington is less than five minutes’ drive away, with its choice of fast-food stops, seafood restaurants and a couple of shops. Drive for 10 minutes in any direction, and you will find yourself in spectacular forested hiking country.
