A private logging-era building at the Buck Job lumbering center near Manchester, Vermont, fitted with bunks and a stove by the Green Mountain Club around 1923. Named after Christopher Swezey, who owned or operated the Buck Job, it served as an overnight shelter on the southern Long Trail from 1923–1927. Damaged by lumbermen and hunters during winter 1926–27, it was replaced by a nearby building the Club purchased. The camp no longer stands.
Abandoned lumber camp operational 1917-1932 located at south end of Long Hole, a marshy deadwater on Roaring Brook north of Griffith Lake at 2,530 feet elevation. Multiple camp structures once provided shelter for hikers on the Long Trail through central Vermont. Listed as offering some shelter in 1920 guide but dropped from shelter listings by 1932 as its utility declined.
White Crow Camps was a private shelter located in Hell Hollow, Woodford, Vermont, approximately one mile south of GMC Camp and just north of Route 9. It appeared on the 1917 Long Trail Guide Book's Bennington Section map but received no textual mention. The camp operated during the logging era near an abandoned railroad grade. Its owners, operational dates, and fate remain unknown. The structure no longer stands.
A wooden cabin at 1,820 feet elevation near the deserted town of Griffith, built around 1920. Originally one of three logging shanties from 19th-century operations, it evolved into a furnished shelter with stove, bunks, and domestic comforts. Private owners allowed Long Trail hikers to use it with permission from at least 1920 until circa 1928, when the GMC's new Griffith Camp made it obsolete. No longer standing.
Abandoned logging camp on the north slope of Camel's Hump, 3.7 miles south of Bolton, consisting of deteriorated wooden buildings. Served as the Long Trail's first shelter from 1911-1917. By 1917, only an ox stable with a functional stove remained usable. Built by Randall & Roberts lumber operation; never formally constructed as a GMC facility but provided crucial overnight accommodation for early Long Trail hikers. Structure no longer standing.
Little Rock Pond Camp was a private lumber camp on the west shore of Little Rock Pond that operated from 1928 to 1931. Built during Vermont's active logging era, it provided simple shelter to Long Trail hikers passing through the scenic pond area. The structure no longer stands, replaced by modern USFS facilities.
Grout Job was an informal Long Trail shelter occupying an abandoned logging camp on the East Branch of the Deerfield River near Stratton, Vermont. Originally developed by the Grout family around 1880, the site featured a boarding house, mill, barns, and school. Early Long Trail hikers used remaining buildings for emergency refuge between 1917 and 1930, though it was never an official Green Mountain Club shelter. By 1930, the buildings had deteriorated beyond use and the site was abandoned.
Abandoned industrial village shelter used by early Long Trail hikers from 1920-1924. Located in Peru, Vermont along Black Branch, Griffith Camp consisted of surviving buildings from a company town established in 1888 by lumber magnate Silas Lapham Griffith. The settlement once employed 300 workers with sawmill, charcoal kilns, boarding house, school, and homes. Timber exhaustion led to abandonment by 1912. When the Long Trail repurposed the old town road in 1917, hikers found the empty structures still standing and began sheltering in them. No longer standing.
Dufresne Job was an abandoned logging camp on Stratton's northwest slopes, operated by Louis Dufresne from 1886 until sale in 1903, remaining active through the 1920s. By the 1920s, it served as a Long Trail waypoint with deteriorating shelter in old buildings. The site no longer stands; the trail now passes through its remains between Stratton Mountain and Stratton Pond.
Camp 4 was an early logging camp repurposed by the Green Mountain Club to shelter Long Trail travelers from 1910-1926. Located two miles down from Bolton Brook along the trail toward the Winooski River, it offered basic shelter before being abandoned. The lumber mill and company buildings stood two miles further downstream. The camp no longer stands, leaving no physical remains.
Camp Eleven was a small logging camp cabin located southeast of Glastenbury Mountain along Vermont's Long Trail. Operating from 1917 to 1926, it provided shelter for hikers with bunks for three to four people, a stove, and basic cooking utensils. The unlocked cabin deteriorated over time and was later described as barely habitable. It no longer stands.
Camp Lizzie was a logging camp established around 1921-1922 east of Buck Job on the Long Trail. By the early 1920s, one repaired cabin remained open to hikers at the confluence of two streams, offering beds, bedding, a stove, and cooking utensils. Though used as a waypoint for travelers and a gathering place for medicinal herb collectors, it was never officially maintained as a Green Mountain Club shelter. The site has since deteriorated and no longer stands.
