I'm planning a first time trip to Mt. Mansfield this weekend. Are there any campsites on the mountain? I understand that many people use Underhill State Park, but the website says it's closed this time of year.

Smuggler's Notch campground is in the area but that too, I believe, is closed after Columbus Day. See comments by Waumbek on Underhill State Park in this previous thread:
Campsites in VT
Are you car camping or backpacking? If you are backpacking, there is the Taft Lodge on the Long Trail below the Chin of Mt. Mansfield and Butler Lodge (via Butler Lodge trail) on the other (west) side.

Backpacking. So there is a camping area around Butlet Lodge? Are there camping fees?
