The towering, straight-trunked pines and mossy forest floor make Fisher Scott a quiet spot for forest and macro photography. Soft morning and late afternoon light filtering through the high canopy is especially photogenic.

Great experience, clean RV. Brandon was great and very easy going.
Mike R. - Nov 2024
Brandon was an exceptional host. Everything was ready to go and he explained the rental thoroughly as it was my first time renting. Very professional and a pleasure to work with. If you're looking to rent a camper, Brandon is the one to see.

Arrived at the campsite, and was completely amazed at the setup. Griddle, two burner camper stove, two portable tables with table tops, cooking accessories, plastic ware, coffee pot (with coffee), two chairs and table by the campfire. Absolutely amazing! All my family members staying at the campsite were just as amazed and commented on the setup. Michele & Will completely knocked it out of the ballpark. It was in even the smallest of details. Campfire color packets, marshmallow toasting forks, and table top candles. That was just on the outside. Inside the camper was clean & spacious. Beds were ready to sleep on. 100% percent setup inside and out. They even coordinated with the campground to set everything up the day prior to my arrival! Michele walked me through the camper and explained everything in detail. She mentioned more than once to contact her if I had any questions. We had initially communicated a year ago just after the booking, and kept in communication right up to the initial walk through at the campsite. Don't know what more to say other than my experience with Michell and this rental far exceeded my expectations. Family members were "WOW'ed" just as much!

Our first time renting or using an RV and it was an absolutely wonderful experience thanks to Michele and Will. Michele was quick to communicate and went the extra mile to make sure we had a good experience since we were driving in from several states away. Even for a few days which were in the mid-90s were a breeze thanks to the great A/C. Our kids had a great time. Definitely will look to use them again the next time we're in Upstate NY!

How to get to Fisher Scott Memorial Pines Natural Area
The natural area lies in Arlington, Vermont, reached via U.S. Route 7 and Vermont Route 7A in Bennington County. From Bennington it is about a 15 mile, 20 minute drive north, and from Manchester Center it is roughly 10 miles, about 15 minutes south. Albany, New York is the closest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers, about 50 miles southwest, roughly a 1 hour drive. RV drivers should note that the final approach uses narrow rural town roads with tight turns, low-hanging branches, and limited turnaround space, so large motorhomes and long trailers may prefer to park at a nearby pull-off and walk in rather than drive to the preserve itself.
