Quechee State Park

5800 Woodstock Road
Hartford, VT 05047

802-295-2990

The park's location along US Route 4, and its proximity to many upper-valley attractions make it a popular tourist destination. Hundreds of thousands of visitors stop each year to take in the breathtaking views of the Quechee Gorge. Other visitors seeking an overnight stay enjoy the easy access to the park’s spacious campsites.

The focal point of the park is Vermont’s deepest gorge, formed by glacial activity approximately 13,000 years ago. Visitors can look down at the Ottauquechee River, flowing 165 feet below viewing points along Route 4.

Facilities / Amenities

The park contains 45 tent/RV sites and 7 lean-to sites which are located in the camping area. Two restrooms with flush toilets, hot and cold running water, and coin-operated hot showers serve the campground. Most sites are large enough to accommodate large RVs. There is a sanitary dump station, but there are no hookups. A large field and play area are also in the campground. Located next to Quechee Gorge is a picnic area with a pit toilet and a hiking trail along the gorge.
