Campsite Area is a bouldering area in the Middlebury Ranger District of the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests in Vermont, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among several other climbing spots, with the Timber and The Pyramid areas each about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with seven routes spread across the V1 to V6 range. The easiest are Buddah Belly and Skinny Finny, both V1, and the hardest is Ziji at V6. Fin and Jake is V2-. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 79°F with lows near 55°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Rochester. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the area, so temperatures at the boulders run cooler. Nearby, the Round Robin (C-7) hike is about half a mile away, and the Boondocks cross-country ski area is about 1.3 miles off. Chittenden Brook Campground and East Creek, a canoeing spot, are both within about 5 miles.
