Horseshoe Acres Campground

Andover, Vermont

28 RV Sites

Deep in the Green Mountains of southern Vermont, Horseshoe Acres Campground sits in the kind of quiet, forested valley that draws people back year after year. Located near the small town of Andover, the campground blends an easy-going family atmosphere with a well-rounded lineup of on-site recreation, making it well suited to campers who want more than a patch of grass and a fire ring. The surrounding Green Mountain National Forest adds millions of acres of hiking, wildlife watching, and scenic exploration to whatever you haven't already scheduled within the campground itself. The recreation options at Horseshoe Acres keep guests entertained without requiring a car. A swimming pool handles the hottest summer afternoons, while mini golf and a games room give families a change of pace between swims. Horseshoes, shuffleboard, volleyball, and badminton spread the competition across the property, and paddle boats let guests take a slow turn on the water at their own pace. Anglers can fish for trout in the area surrounding the campground, and the hillsides offer enough hiking terrain to fill several days of half-day walks. Live music events bring the campground together on select evenings throughout the season, and a popular trout fishing derby draws participants from well beyond the property each year. The Green Mountain landscape surrounding Andover is among Vermont's most rewarding. Forested hillsides rise steeply from narrow valleys, and the light through the hardwood canopy—especially during the golden weeks of September and October—is the kind of thing that makes Vermonters insufferably fond of where they live. Wildlife is a regular presence: white-tailed deer move through in the early mornings, wild turkeys work the forest edges, and the brooks threading through the property hold native trout. The whole area has the unhurried pace of a place that doesn't feel the need to compete with anywhere else. Southern Vermont puts some genuinely excellent destinations within striking range. The Weston Playhouse, one of the oldest and most beloved summer theaters in New England, is about ten minutes away and stages professional productions through the season. Bromley Mountain Adventure Park transforms into a warm-weather attraction with zip lines, an alpine slide, and a sky ride that offers long views across the Green Mountains. The Green Mountain National Forest trail network is directly accessible for day hikes ranging from easy ridge walks to more challenging summit scrambles. The charming village of Weston itself, with its general store, town common, and independent shops, makes for an easy and genuinely pleasant afternoon excursion. Horseshoe Acres Campground shines brightest during Vermont's summer and fall, when the recreation, the foliage, and the mountain air all converge to make a compelling case for staying longer than planned. Reservations are recommended for peak summer weekends and especially for the spectacular fall foliage season, which draws visitors from across the Northeast to the Green Mountains. Whether you're here for a hiking trip, a family summer getaway, or simply to sit beside a Vermont brook and let the season unfold at its own pace, Horseshoe Acres is a well-rounded campground in a setting that earns every return visit. Book early and let southern Vermont's mountains set the tone.
