Getaway Mountain & Campground - One of the owners took it upon themselves to throw dog feces to our front door

Getaway Mountain & Campground

I strongly urge anyone considering Getaway Mountain Campground to stay far away. Our experience…read morehere was nothing short of appalling. From the moment we checked in, the owners were extremely rude and unwelcoming. After staying for the weekend, we extended our stay due to the campground's cleanliness, thinking it would be perfect for our family, including our three children with special needs and our service animals. Unfortunately, the owner's behavior quickly escalated. One day, the man running the office drove by on his golf cart and began yelling and swearing at me, accusing us of not picking up after our dogs. I explained that we always clean up after them, but he refused to listen. We decided to leave for the weekend to avoid further conflict, but when we returned, we found piles of dog poop deliberately placed near our motorhome. Things worsened when one of our children, who is nonverbal, picked up a pile of the mess. When we addressed the issue with the office, the owner's wife not only refused to acknowledge their behavior but also accused us of lying. The man's hostile behavior escalated again, yelling and swearing at us in front of our children. He threatened to have us thrown out by the police, which he followed through on. The officers who responded could see that this was a personal issue and were baffled as to why they had been called. We were told to leave, but not before being denied a refund for the remaining days we had already paid for. To make matters worse, we've since learned that the owners of Getaway Mountain Campground have been actively calling around to other campgrounds, slandering our name. They falsely claim we don't pick up after our dogs and that my husband chased the owner with a 2x4--an outright lie. The current campground we're staying at informed us of this and has stated that they've seen no issues with us or our pets. In fact, the surrounding campers have no complaints, and the campground owner is willing to write a statement about the situation, including notifying the authorities of this baseless harassment. The entire experience left us feeling targeted and mistreated. We have traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and have never encountered anything like this. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this campground at all costs. Verdict: AVOID Getaway Mountain Campground.

The staff were very friendly, the site was great, close to the office, shower, pool, and laundry…read more All areas were very clean. Great setting, stars were very visible at night, and the camp was super quiet and clean. Definitely planning on going back next summer.

When we go camping, we like to escape from everything. We have been to a lot of campgrounds where…read morethe campsites are packed in and the park is crowded. Coolidge is nice and quiet, and if you reserve a prime leanto, you'll be rewarded with gorgeous views out over the mountain too. This park is located near Ludlow, VT - we always stop at Tacos Tacos and also the Green Mountain Sugar House (for maple creemees). The park is located up a steep road, and you check in at the ranger station. We usually rent a prime leanto (plan on booking far ahead of time), but we have also stayed at a regular campsite too. The prime leantos are nice, because they have nice privacy and a gorgeous view. The leantos are great in case of inclement weather. Bathrooms are about typical for a VT state park. The usual bathrooms, sinks, and showers. Sometimes these are a walk from the campsite, so plan accordingly if you have kids. There isn't a whole lot to do within the park, other than hiking (which is nice). There is a small playground and nature center on site. If you want to go to a beach, you can use Camp Plymouth State Park free with your car hang tag from Coolidge. I believe it takes just over 10 minutes to get to Camp Plymouth, so it isn't far. We love how nice this park is and how quiet it is, plus it is beautiful and you can enjoy nice hiking trails.

This is a no frills campground, but I have to honestly say that we had a great stay this past…read moreweekend. Pros 1. The campground is very inexpensive, $35 a night with water and electric. 2. Beautiful sites available right on the water. Other site away from the water area available too. 3. SUPER easy check-in. 4. Not a ton of rules/regulations like most campgrounds and there didn't need to be as everyone is very respectful there, like it should be! 5. Dogs allowed as long as they are on a leash at all times. Again, not a lot of red tape, paperwork and rules to bring your dog camping which is so nice! 6. Campground and facilities are well maintained and clean. 7. Great location with lots to do nearby. 8. Wood for campfires available for $4 a bundle. Cons 1. We picked a site #56 because it was on the water and close to one of the bathroom locations listed on their map. While they were certainly close, they were actually porta pottys, not actual bathrooms with running water. Not a huge deal ,but had we know this, we probably would've picked a site closer to one of the real bathrooms with running water. 2. No central location to wash dishes other than your campsite. 3. Some of the sites along the water are very narrow and close together. We could actually hear the couple in the site next to us talking every morning when they woke up and it was not because they were loud. 4. No campground store so if you forgot something, you're going to have to venture out in the surrounding area to find what you need. There is plenty nearby, but it's always nice if you can just get it from the campground store. Your best options are site 61 if you want a nice, large site on the water (not a lot of privacy) or site 65 for a nice, large site, but very private with only one site next to you and the other side is trees. If you like camping in an open field with other campers and don't mind the lack of privacy, they have that option too. Really something for everyone. One last note, showers are 50 cents for 6 minutes. Not a pro or con in my opinion, but certainly worth mentioning so you are prepared when you get there!

We reserved our spot way in advance, as we always do because we prefer sites that are on the end…read morebecause they generally offer a little more room and privacy. We used their website to reserve site 14, which showed it was on the end. We arrived after a long day of driving our Class A and towing a trailer. After checking in, a very grumpy man 'escorted' us to our spot. He showed us the wrong spot and we said we need to speak to someone. We had to go back to the front and my husband spoke to a very snotty young lady and tried to sort it out. He showed her on his phone the spot on their reservation site that we reserved and she agreed, but needed to call the owner. At this point I came to the office to try to reason with them. After awhile, an extremely rude man came in with a terrible attitude. He was constantly on his phone; either pretending to be busy or recording me. Who knows. When we tried to rationally talk to him and show him the site we reserved on their website, he laughed and said, "I don't have to do anything. I'm the owner and I can do whatever I want." He refused to even look at our phone to show him that their reservation website is wrong. We paid an extra $25 to lock this site. He said both sites were patio sites, but one is on the end with more separation and some trees blocking the site next to it, while the other has another site right on top of them. The sites here are the closest I have seen in four months of traveling full time. And just to add, the road noise is pretty bad, and what is the deal with the resort fee? So overpriced for what you are getting. Never was there an apology. Their solution was for us to move on the day the others arrived. No other option. We spent almost $1,000 there for eight nights. he obviously did not care about our business. What a way to run a place. We only stayed one night because it was late and there was nowhere else to go. We left the next day and they charged us for two nights and refunded the rest. This place was a terrible experience that literally left me in tears in how we were treated. Highly recommend skipping this overpriced joke of a place.
