I'm looking for a place to car camp near Killington for a night or two where we won't get in trouble and it won't be sketchy. any ideas?
Answer
If you are crashing in the bed of a pick-up with a cap or in a van there are several options.
On Route 4 between the Killington access road and Pico, directly across from the Inn at The Long Trail is a parking area for the Pico trail. It's pretty big and cars park there all the time overnight. Similarly just downhill from the entrance to Pico is the parking area for the LT/AT. Neither are private or good for tents, but a vehicle parked there overnight usually won't draw too much attention from the Rutland Co. Sheriff or the VT State Police.
Another option is the parking area for Kent Pond just north of the Route 4/100 intersection. There are signs there saying no overnight parking, but I've seen cars there overnight in winter. The parking area is on the west side of Route 100. Go in late and get out early.
If you want some more info, email me with a way to contact you. Since you don't allow e-mail through Y! Answers, I can't drop you a line. I lived in the area for over 6 years and know a ton of other places you could crash and I'd give you some more info, but I'm not about to post names and phone numbers in an open forum.
If you TRUELY want an adventure, consider loading your backpack with winter gear and taking the last chair ride to spend the night at Cooper Lodge. You can ski into the shelter and ski out for first tracks in the morning. This requires some planning and some prep, and I'd be happy to give you the beta on how to do this too.

Where is a good place to go camping for groups of people?(england)?
Mia
I want to have a camping party this weekend, if not the weekend after, with roughly 15 people including boys & girls. But a lot of camping sites only take caravans,couples, ar families. does anyone know a place that takes groups of people? preferably not too expensive to book.
It needs to be within an hour and a half train journey from london.
If anyone could help me that would be amazing
thank you x
