Originally established in 1968 as Mobile Acres Campground by Gordon and Sally Abel, the site has evolved through generations of stewardship. The Mendl family managed it until 2003, when the Rea family acquired it, modernized the facilities, and renamed it Abel Mountain Campground in honor of its founders. After Hurricane Irene destroyed the lower section in 2011, the Reas rebuilt the campground, reopening in 2012 with a new pool, pavilion, and infrastructure. In 2016, Ken and Sylvia Manning became owners, continuing the legacy of family-friendly recreation and maintaining the property’s natural charm while enhancing guest experiences through updated amenities and programming.
Located on Mobile Acres Road, the campground sits just under a mile from the Third Branch White River, about 0.8 miles from the Braintree Town Office, and within a mile of Thayer Brook and Smith Brook. It lies approximately 1.3 miles from Vermont Route 12A and 1.4 miles from South Branch School, placing it within easy reach of local attractions while preserving its secluded, forested setting.
