The Yankee Beemers is putting on its first event of the season at Wilgus State Park in Ascutney, VT. $25 gets you two nights camping in the center of some of the best riding in New England. Many tent and lean-to to sites are available on a first come first served basis. Bring what you need for how you camp, bring a little extra to share. Spaghetti dinner provided for Friday evening. Saturday evening potluck brings some of the best feast ever created over a camp fire. If you forget your stuff at home there are several good stores nearby for food, gas and libations. We have the whole park to ourselves. Eric Hanson the park Ranger is our host for the weekend.
There will be a central communal gathering and campfire site directly in front of the restrooms. Firewood is available from the park. There are usually planned and pick up rides as you make them. Dress for the weather which will be hot, cold, dry or wet. Pay showers on site, along with running water and real flush toilets for those who care about such things.
Pre-registration is always helpful, if you decide to go at the last minute you will be welcome. https://www.yankeebeemers.org/events_FrostyNutz.html
Enter the park, Ride past the ranger station and down into the park and pick a site. The payment enforcement team will be around in the evening. There is room for larger campers, trucks and cars at either end of the park, as this is a motorcycle rally, please do not plug access to the campsites with four wheeled vehicles. Expect to share camp sites and lean-tos and its never cool to set tents up in the lean-tos.

It's a typical VT state campground, with various water stations and a central bathhouse. Alcohol and weed are cool there. The club has the entire park to ourselves, as it doesn't usually open for another week or two. Claremont, NH is just across the river, with its requisite NH commercialization for most of your needs. There is also a small market just north on rt 5 that is decent if the locusts don't clean it out the first night.
Some guys bring vile firewater from the mother country, some folks put up a charcutier board (seriously) some bring Olives and other hors
