Bryant Camp | Camp Reservations - Green Mountain Club

Bolton, VT

Built around 1930 and restored in 2016, Bryant Camp offers renters rustic accommodations in the backwoods of Bolton Valley, Vermont. Located in Mount Mansfield State Forest, the camp is within Bolton Valley Resort’s network of cross country ski and snowshoe trails. Starting at Bolton’s Nordic and Sports Center, renters can enjoy a mile hike or ski via the Bryant Trail (part of the Catamount Trail) in order to reach the camp. Accommodations include an unfurnished sleeping loft for up to eight guests, woodstove, firewood, and composting privy. There is no electricity or running water.

Please be aware, the cabin is not insulated and will never get as warm as your home. When spending a night at Bryant Camp, come prepared with the gear and sleeping bags to keep you warm as if you were camping.

Rates: $97 per night Friday through Sunday. $77 per night Monday through Thursday.
Current Green Mountain Club Members: During checkout, please use the discount code member20 for 20% off. If you are interested in becoming a member or renewing your membership, Join / Renew Membership.

At GMC's discretion, a facility cleanup/repair fee of up to $200 may be charged to the reservation's credit card if the facility requires cleaning or repairs after rental.

Bryant Camp is rented August 1st through March 31st. The cabin is closed from April 1st through July 31st each year to protect the excessively wet site. For reservations, please use the reservation system below. You can call the Green Mountain Club at (802) 241-8210 for any questions about the cabin. GMC does not offer a waitlist for reservations. Due to the camp’s high winter demand, renters are encouraged to book the cabin on the day reservations become available for the following winter season or visit this site periodically to check on camp availability.

GMC members may take advantage of a 24-hour early reservation period when reservations open for each season in the spring. Reservations for August 2023 through March 2024 will open up May 15th at 10 AM for GMC members and May 16th at 10 AM for the general public.
