Bryant Camp | Camp Reservations

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.

COVID-19 Camps Policy

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, GMC is taking the following measures to follow the State of Vermont guidelines and promote renter safety.

  1. Guests who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 should not stay at the camp and may cancel their reservation and receive a full refund from GMC.
  2. Renters are responsible for cleaning all touch surfaces at the cabin and outhouse before and after their stay at the camp. Guests acknowledge that they are staying at a remote cabin that is not serviced or cleaned by GMC on a daily or weekly basis. GMC will make every effort to stock the camp with hand sanitizer, cleaning agents, and disposable gloves. However, guests should bring these items as well in case of an unexpected shortage.
  3. GMC reserves the ability to cancel reservations in the interest of public health. All cancelations made due to COVID-19 will be fully refunded.
