"We Still Have Cabin Availability For Memorial Day Weekend ..Don't Delay!"

Meet Your Hosts

Open April 27 - October 21

This KOA welcomes vacationers exploring the multitude of area attractions as well as weary travelers needing a convenient overnight stop.

Mention the Gateway to New England and the Quechee KOA comes to mind. Otherwise known as the "Gateway KOA" we are nestled in the breathtaking Upper Valley of Central Vermont. With spacious, level Big Rig friendly pull thru's and beautiful deluxe cabins, it's easy to stretch out, unwind and create your base camp to explore New England. We are an award winning, highly rated KOA within an hour's drive of a multitude of destinations and serve as home base for travelers exploring all of New England.

Not only are we famous for our Quechee Gorge, "The Little Grand Canyon of New England," we are also famous for our annual Quechee Balloon Festival which takes place every June on Father's Day Weekend. Thrill seekers can catch a ride on a hot air balloon in scenic Quechee or if museums are your desire the Billings Farm & Museum and the Marsh Billings Rockefeller National Historic Park are in nearby historic Woodstock. The Montshire Museum of Science rated one of the top 25 science centers in the country by Parent Magazine is a neighbor, as well as the Vermont Institute of Natural Science which has a fantastic Raptor Exhibit featuring the Northeast's largest collection of birds of prey.

Numerous food destinations abound, including the notorious Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory, and King Arthur Flour which has an onsite factory, café, baker's store and baking education center. Local breweries, Long Trail and Harpoon, are "adult destination" favorites.

Want to stretch your legs? The Appalachian Trail and the renowned Long Trail of VT will keep the novice as well as the avid hiker busy. Of course, you can always relax back at camp in one of our sparkling new cabins, or take a swim in the heated pool, fish in our trout pond or just sit and enjoy the shaded breeze from the trees. Make us your home base to see New England and it won't take long to realize why visitors call us the "Gateway KOA!"

Michael and Cindy Scruggs, owners of the Quechee/Pine Valley KOA, did what many of us want to do: changed their lives from the hectic pace of corporate America to a nature-based lifestyle. “Now we have the hectic life of operating a campground, which we much prefer,” says Cindy.

Michael and Cindy have been avid RVers for years, as Michael spent 30 years as an executive in the marine industry and Cindy was employed as a licensed real estate agent in Florida. As business professionals, they know what it means to provide exceptional customer service. “We want to exceed our customers’ expectations. Our goal is to make the Quechee/Pine Valley KOA one of the top mid-sized KOAs in the country, by providing great customer service and a top-notch facility. We would like our campers to tell their friends that this is one of the finest campgrounds they've stayed at and recommend us to all their friends,” says Michael.

The Scruggs certainly are achieving their goals: their campground was awarded KOA’s highest award – the Founder’s Award – every year since they've owned the campground. The reason? They treat their campers with the utmost care. “We were one site short of being sold out a particular weekend last year when we received a phone call from a previous customer. Her husband had to go in to a hospital near us and she wanted to stay at our campground. She wasn't comfortable driving their rig but wanted to stay with us because she didn't want to leave her pets behind. Since our cabins were all booked, we thought we were unable to accommodate her. However, after racking our brains, we came up with a plan to convert one of our motor home only drive in sites to a travel trailer "friendly" site and put her in one of our rental travel trailers. She was so grateful that after she and her husband returned home, she wrote us a wonderful thank you note and sent us a lovely gift,” says Cindy.

When they do find spare time, Michael and Cindy enjoy travelling, boating, scuba diving and motorcycling.

Our Newest Deluxe Cabin Has Arrived! Due to the overwhelming popularity of our cabins we are adding another deluxe cabin which we are now taking reservations for. This new cabin sleeps four with a queen size bed and a set of bunk beds. Wonderful half bath with toilet and sink. New bathhouse and sparkling showers are just steps away. Reserve Now!

Prestigious KOA Founders Award & Presidents Award Winner The Quechee Pine Valley KOA was proud to receive the KOA Founders Award and the Presidents Award once again. Given only to select KOA's with high standards of cleanliness and top notch customer service. We are especially grateful to our top notch staff and our outstanding customers who come back time and time again! Thank you for your business. We are now accepting reservations for the 2012 season, call today!

Total Distance: 2.5 Miles
Hiking Time: 2.0 Hours
Vertical Rise: 1340 ft.
Rating: Moderate-Difficult

From Woodstock town center, cross the Mountain Avenue covered bridge past River Street following around a left curve to the prominent rock wall where you turn left up a paved path that leads to the trail head at Faulkner Park.
The trail leads to the 1,340 foot summit overlooking the village of Woodstock, the Billings Farm and the Ottauquechee River. Your return hike follows the same trail back to the parking area.

Mount Peg Trail (Mt. Peg) - Woodstock, Vermont
Total Distance: 2.0 Miles
Hiking Time: 2.0 Hours
Vertical Rise: 1200 ft.
Rating: Moderate-Difficult
From the Woodstock Village Green, take Cross Street to High Street and turn right going over the bridge where you turn right again onto Golf Avenue. A sign on the left marks the trial head consisting of a system of groomed ski trails leading from an open field on the northern hill to benches where you can view Mount Tom across the valley and take in some of the best views of Woodstock Village. Your return hike follows the same trail back to the parking area.

Mount Tom Trail (Mt. Tom) - Woodstock, Vermont
Total Distance:
Hiking Time: 30 minutes
Vertical Rise: .1250 feet
Rating:
Access the trails at the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Site on Route 12, north of Woodstock village. The historic carriage trails lead to a loop of the Pogue, a 14-acre pond on top of Mount Tom. The climb is gradual and beautiful.

Mount Tom dominates the center of Woodstock. It's 1,250'. If you are fit, it will take you about 30 minutes to reach the top. It is well worth the trip.
There are two ways up, an easy way from behind the mountain, and faster one from the center of town.
The easy and longer way is to drive out of Woodstock on Route 4 and turn right just after the Woodstock Farmer's Market. Follow the road up and over a hill and you will come to a parking lot on your right.
The fastest way is to set out from the park on Mountain Avenue, behind the covered bridge. The ascent will take about 30 minutes depending on your level of fitness. The climb is easy and well worn. Near the summit, the going gets a little tricky but there is a guide wire to hold on to as you negotiate your way over some rocks. Wear a good pair of boots.
Once you are on the summit, you will see most of the village laid out before you.
