A canvas teepee shelter located at Sucker Pond, built around 1917-1918 as part of the Long Trail's Bennington Section facilities. The structure contained only a stove and was accessible via an optional 1½-mile route from Hell Hollow following Glastenbury Stream. Listed in the first Long Trail Guide Book but rarely documented afterward, it remains standing today as one of the trail system's oldest surviving structures from its foundational era.
Tall Timber Camp in Mendon, Vermont, operated from 1958 as a tenting area with platforms, cabins, and a farmhouse. It served as an overflow facility for major functions at Long Trail Lodge. Members gathered for intersectionals, annual meetings, and winter weekends featuring hiking, snowshoeing, and skiing. The property is no longer actively used by the club.
Twin Brooks Tenting Area sits in a wooded clearing at 2,300 feet on Mount Mansfield's western slope between Taylor and Butler lodges. Built by the GMC in 1976 to reduce overuse at nearby shelters, it features tent platforms, an outhouse, and water from a nearby brook. Extensively rebuilt in 1997, it now offers proper trail access and expanded capacity. Dedicated in 1996 to Roland Boucher, a devoted Long Trail maintainer, it has become the premier tenting option on Mansfield.
Stratton View Campsite was a tent-platform tenting area on Stratton Pond operated by the Green Mountain Club from 1985 to 2023. Located near the dismantled Stratton View Shelter, it was established to concentrate use on durable surfaces and protect the fragile shoreline from environmental damage. The facility was decommissioned in 2023 due to proximity to shore and inadequate facilities for the heavily-used Long Trail location.
Little Rock Pond Group Tenting Area, established by the GMC around 1977, featured tent platforms and toilet facilities on a rise 100 feet east of the pond. A caretaker stationed during hiking season managed the popular, fragile site through overnight fees. Hurricane Floyd's 1999 damage forced closure, and the facility ceased regular overnight operation by the early 2000s, though day-use access continues.
Hump Brook Tenting Area, established in the mid-1970s, is Camel's Hump's largest dedicated tent camping facility with 30 platforms and campsites on a forested bench beside Hump Brook. Built and maintained by the Green Mountain Club, it features raised wooden tent platforms, water access, seasonal caretaker, and a bear box installed in 2015. Located 1.5 miles from the trailhead via the Dean Trail, it remains the primary managed alternative to dispersed camping on the mountain.
Griffith Lake Tenting Area is a GMC-built facility established in 1996 featuring designated tent platforms rather than traditional shelters. Relocated eastward in 1998 with new platforms built by volunteers, the site includes a composting toilet installed in 2001. A resident caretaker maintains trails and campsites. Overnight camping is restricted to platforms to protect the fragile shoreline. A fee is charged for use.
Honey Hollow Tenting Area was a Long Trail tent site in the Camel's Hump region featuring tent platforms, an outhouse, and a communal fireplace. Located 0.2 miles off the main trail at 2,450 feet elevation, it operated from 1983 to 1996. Built by the Green Mountain Club, it served as a temporary routing solution after trail closings over Robbins Mountain in 1987. The site was maintained through the Adopt-a-Shelter Program until 1996, when the Long Trail was relocated back to the original Bamforth Ridge route, and the tenting area was eliminated.
Wood-frame shelters built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1939 at Gifford Woods State Park near Killington, Vermont. The campground features twenty-one lean-to shelters, twenty-two tent sites, and four rental cabins, all reservable through Vermont state parks. Located on the Appalachian Trail corridor, the park serves as a developed overnight facility for through-hikers. The shelters are maintained as part of the park's infrastructure, which also protects a seven-acre old-growth northern hardwood forest designated a National Natural Landmark in 1980.
Bromley Tenting Area was a Green Mountain Club overnight site established in 1985 on the former Bromley Camp location. Located near the road and directly on Bromley Brook, the site had environmental limitations. By the mid-1990s, the GMC recognized these constraints and planned improvements. The tenting area was dismantled in 2003 to allow re-vegetation, replaced by the new Bromley Shelter and tent platforms.
Primitive tenting area established in 1983 by the GMC to replace North Bourn Pond Shelter. Three dispersed sites on the pond's north, south, and west shores feature stone fire rings and moldering privies only. Designed for low-impact camping to address shoreline erosion and vegetation loss from heavy visitation.
