Our Roots

A family with a love of the great outdoors, hoping to share it with others.

Battlestags on the River is owned and operated by the Haran family who was born in, raised in, and lived off the land of New England. June, who lives here in Grafton, owns and operates the 200 year old General Store, MKT: Grafton.  With the help of her family, she has brought this quiet piece of Vermont forest and riverfront to life. The Haran Lupiani family welcomes you to Battlestags, your journey awaits.

"Battlestags" gives homage to the deer that have walked our acreage for centuries.  They were here first.  Our bell tent sites and our campgrounds are named for the number of tines, or spikes that a male deer carries on its antlers.  On a good morning, you will see a few down by the suspension bridge or in the tall grass having a drink or making their way on the north end of the property.  Just like them, we ask each of you to tread lightly.
