Do not use Vermont Exit 3 this year.
Normally, you would take Vermont Exit 3 and cross the North Royalton bridge by the Fox Stand Inn / Roma's Butchery. Because of bridge construction, use I-89 Vermont Exit 2 and go through Sharon instead.
Google Maps should route you through Sharon to the Center Royalton bridge, then up Back River Road, turning at Standing Stone Perennial Farm onto Johnson Hill Road.
Before You Head Out
📱 Cell service can become spotty as you get close to camp. Download offline maps if you can.
⛽ West Lebanon is still the best place for cheaper gas and major last-minute shopping.
🛒 Forgot something? There is now a Dollar General in South Royalton, about 4.8 miles from camp. It carries food, ice, drinks, and basic supplies, and is open 8:00 AM–10:00 PM, 7 days a week.
🧊 Buy ice before leaving town, or use Dollar General as a close backup.
🚗 The last ¼ mile is a gravel driveway. Ordinary passenger cars should be fine in normal conditions.
🌧 If the weather is unusually bad, check for any last-minute driving updates before you leave.
