3700 Woodstock Road, White River Junction, VT 05001
Our campground is conveniently located on the Vermont/New Hampshire border and we are just a short trip to Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Canada. The local area has tons to do and see also. We welcome you to look at our website (http://koa.com/campgrounds/quechee/) for some photos and further information. We are a five star rated campground and a previous KOA Rising Star Award recipient, and we couldn't have accomplished any of it without great work campers. In addition, we have received KOA's Founder's and President's Awards for the past 13 seasons (every year that the current owners have owned the park).
