The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers acquired the park and mill area in 1952 when North Hartland Flood Control Dam was constructed. The reason for the purchase of this area was that when the flood gates in North Hartland are closed, the river can be backed up to a level that would put the mill area and the low section of Club House Road, by Marshland Farms, under ten feet of water. An example of this occurred in April of 1969 when the river was backed up to the spillway of the Dewey Mill Dam. Although the campground was not submerged, parts of the hiking trails were. Pieces of houses and mud can still be seen in the trees as you walk these trails.
Most sites are large enough to accommodate large RVs.
There is a sanitary dump station, but no hookups. A large field and play area are also in the campground. Located next to Quechee Gorge is a picnic area with a pit toilet and a hiking trail along the gorge.
