Camp Butz: Adventure VT Camping
Escape to 10 private acres of Vermont forest. Tucked at the end of a gravel drive, discover a luxurious 20′ white bell tent on a hand-built 22×32 platform. Enjoy hot showers, composting toilets, a fire pit, and multiple Adirondack chairs as you disconnect in nature's embrace.
About Camp Butz
The clearing is about a half acre, surrounded by untouched woods for a true off‑grid feel. Wake up to birdsong, spend your day exploring, biking, swimming, hiking or driving the beautiful Vermont roads, then return to your own secluded camp. The site is rustic, a work in progress, expect forest floor, rocky and rooty ground, and the sounds of nature all around. There are a few different woodpeckers around!
Perfectly positioned between Vermont's premier ski resorts: just 20 minutes to Mad River Glen, 25 minutes to Sugarbush, 45 minutes to Killington, and an hour to Stowe. Your ideal basecamp for year-round Vermont adventures.
We provide the essentials: a sturdy tent with a king bed and two twin beds, chairs, a hot shower, a composting toilet, potable filtered water, a picnic table, WiFi, and a fire ring with your first firewood bundle included. You bring your sleeping gear, food, and spirit of adventure. Perfect for couples, friends, or solo travelers looking to disconnect and recharge in nature.
Come experience simple Vermont glamping, private, peaceful, and close to the wild. Please note, this is our family's camp, and a work in progress, so feedback is very welcome and encouraged!

100% recommend from every Hipcamper who has stayed with us.
"Had a blast at Ryan's spot! My college friends and I do a camping trip every summer and this is one of the best spots we've stayed. It had everything - clean, spacious, secluded, stylish - it was perfect. The bell tent was super cute and spacious and there was still plenty of space to set up tents. This might be a bit of a weird comment but feel like most campers will appreciate - toilet set up was phenomenal! One of the cleanest, fanciest drop toilets I've come across (and I've come across many!) Ryan was a phenomenal host. Super responsive and accommodating. Highly highly recommend this spot!"
"We absolutely loved Camp Butz and Ryan and family have done an amazing job with the space. The tent and COMFY BEDS are just one of the great amenities. It's located in such a beautiful spot in Vermont - lots to do in the area. The space was totally private as well, not like a campground with people right next to you. We will be back! Absolute gem!! My whole family loved it!"
"Camp Butz was a great place for a quiet weekend in Vermont to see the fall colors. The tent, beds and deck were welcoming and comfortable. The site was private and peaceful with a great view of the stars."
