Named for the nearby birthplace of President Calvin Coolidge, one of the most unique attractions at Coolidge State Park is the hillside camping in the loop of lean-to campsites and their amazing mountain views. During the winter sports months, the lean-tos are available for visitors who come to snowshoe, toboggan, and ski, for a unique night in the mountains. The Coolidge State Forest is filled with maple, birch, and pine trees that tower 75-100 feet overhead, and wildlife, including owls, moose, and even black bears. There are streams that are home to countless trout, for those interested in fishing, and a volleyball court is available for visitors during the warmer months. This pastoral park is filled with recreational opportunities and has character that any visitor will enjoy.

A trip to Coolidge State Park is a trip back in time; the park remains essentially the way it was when it was first created in the 1930s. Known for its rustic feel, hillside campsites that give way to dramatic mountain views, and authentic character, Coolidge State Park is the developed recreation centerpiece of the 21,500 acre Calvin Coolidge State Forest, the largest state-owned land holding in central Vermont. Coolidge State Park is the only Vermont park with an entire loop of lean-to campsites, some of which have sweeping views of the Black River valley and the Green Mountains. Many campers feel that sites at Coolidge have the best views in all of Vermont. The park also has a loop of forested campsites, restroom facilities with showers, a hilltop picnic area with log picnic shelter, a group camping area, and several remote lean-to campsites for those wishing to really escape it all.
