Camp Jomo

For those living in or visiting the Green Mountain State, the quest for a truly authentic outdoor experience often leads to the quiet corners of Windsor and Rutland Counties. Camp Jomo, situated in the picturesque village of Belmont within the town of Mount Holly, represents the quintessential Vermont "camping farm." This unique destination offers more than just a place to pitch a tent; it provides a sanctuary where the "Joy of Missing Out" (Jomo) is not just a name, but a philosophy. Surrounded by the rolling hills and dense forests that define the Vermont landscape, Camp Jomo invites visitors to slow down and reconnect with the land. As a camping farm, it blends the rugged appeal of traditional campsites with the pastoral beauty of a working Vermont property, offering a glimpse into the rural lifestyle that makes our state so special.

The atmosphere at Camp Jomo is one of intentional simplicity and natural elegance. Located at 315 Maple Hill Road, the site is designed for those who appreciate the finer details of the wilderness—the sound of the wind through the hardwoods, the clarity of the night sky, and the quiet rhythm of farm life. Whether you are a local Vermonter looking for a weekend "staycation" or a traveler seeking a basecamp for exploring nearby attractions like Okemo Mountain or the Healdville Trail, Camp Jomo offers a professional yet friendly environment. The property is managed with a deep respect for the environment, ensuring that every guest can enjoy the pristine beauty of Belmont in a sustainable and peaceful manner.

Location and accessibility are key components of the Camp Jomo experience. Belmont is often described as one of Vermont’s "hidden gems," situated at a higher elevation that provides cooler temperatures in the summer and breathtaking foliage in the autumn. The campground is located on Maple Hill Road, a classic Vermont backroad that is easily navigable during the camping season but offers the secluded feel that modern campers crave. For those traveling from within the state, it is a convenient drive from Ludlow, Rutland, or Manchester. The village center of Belmont, with its historic charm and the beautiful Star Lake, is just a short distance away, allowing guests to enjoy local swimming or a visit to the general store while still feeling world's away from the hustle of more commercialized tourist hubs.

While the focus is on a rustic farm experience, accessibility remains a priority. The site features organized paths and clear signage to help guests navigate the farm terrain. Parking is conveniently located on-site, designed to accommodate standard vehicles and small trailers while preserving the integrity of the meadows and pastures. For residents of Vermont who are familiar with the state’s winding topography, the approach to Camp Jomo offers a scenic introduction to the mountain views that await at the summit of the property. The layout is thoughtfully arranged to provide privacy between sites, ensuring that each camper has their own personal "slice of the woods" during their stay.
