Crown Point Camping Area is located just south of Ludlow Vermont. It’s an older campground that has seen better days. A first look on their website looked good… a level pine plantation setting, full hookups, cable tv, mini-golf, playground, and more so we decided to check them out…

Upon entering the campground one of the first things you see is the “mini-golf”. It looked like it hadn’t been used in years. Very depressing. We looked for a decent pull-thru site for our larger class A, and there was nothing. Interior roads were in tough shape too.

The facilities (there were three bathhouses) were old and poorly maintained. The only plus about this campground from our perspective was the staff… they were friendly and helpful. But that’s about it.

We would not recommend this campground.

The unhappy camper should have gone to Crown Point in October. It has undergone an amazing transformation. Us old-time seasonals are very proud of the new owners & the work they did & are doing still. Check the campground out on facebook & you’ll see all the latest photos that everyone has posted & how beautiful & clean it is now.

As all above CPCA campers have noted tragic lose of Paul (owner and operator) plus a good friend of all. We did have a tough time and all worked to carry on. Now with the new owners (Sean and Bonnie) we are back and will be better than ever! As a 39 year camper at Crown Point. Can’t find a better place in New England. Try us, if you don’t. your lose!

The new owners are putting their heart and soul into this campground, just like the previous owners did before they had a family tragedy. It is a great area with loads of great people and gets better everyday. Try it!

I have been a “seasonal” camper at Crown Point for nearly 11 years. While the campground has been in transition following the death of the previous owner we have new owners and great improvements are happening! Pot luck dinners, Silpada jewelry parties, Ice Cream Socials to name a few.
Crown Point Campground is situated in a pine forest that allows for camping in a quiet, peaceful environment and is situated on Stoughton Pond which provides for activities such as swimming, canoeing, fishing, etc.
Obviously, after 11 years, there is no campground I’d rather be at!

Dear Unhappy Camper and to the one that posted that it was a depressing trailer park and not a campground. You need to just stop and talk to the seasonal campers, many of who have been there up to 43yrs. They would tell you that the seasonal campers are family. It’s our home, and don’t take kindly to people who don’t take the time to get to know us and see who we really are. Maybe things looked depressing. If you had gotten to know any of us we would have told you that we lost our beloved owner very suddenly. We along with his 80 yr old father did what we could to keep our home going. We are very happy that we have new owners, ones that took the time to get to know us and know that we think of Crown Point as home and who do what we needed to help them. They are wonderful people and people need to realize good things take time. Come and enjoy a week-end with us, you’ll see we are kind people and will make your stay a good one. Give us a chance, you’ll be glad you did.

I have been to crown point this year and it is under new ownership. The new owners have cleaned up the bathhouses, the mini golf is looking good and overall they are cleaning the place up. Great staff and very friendly campers. Activities on the weekend. We had a great time. Would love to go every weekend.

It’s tough to believe the staff was all that was ok. You have to find one to prove this. In my opinion, it is a very depressing trailer park and not a campground.
