Amazing VT state park
Wilgus state park has amazing campsites, very friendly staff, and great access to the Connecticut River. This campground was beautiful and very quiet even though it was full. Campsites are all large and flat, lean to’s also have ample space for tents and the cabin sites are perfect. The only downside is there is 1 main bathroom so if you are at either end it can be a bit of a walk.
We loved walking the trail behind the campsites along the river to the beautiful vista views with a group with young kids, rented kayaks and fished from the boat launch. There is a great local pond for swimming that had dive docks, diving boards and lifeguards on duty that was less than 10 minutes away.

Large open lot at top of paved highway pass.
Great place to stop for the night. Not a lot of ambiance, but plenty of room for any number of rigs.

Stayed for one week. If you stay for 6 days, the 7th is free. Nice pull thru site. Wooded and shady.

Laid Back Campsite
This campsite is very laid back and we had a great experience. The camping spots are spread out enough that you feel like you have privacy, even if you have neighbors. All spots come with a picnic table and fire pit. Campsite employees are all nice. We also have noticed that the bathrooms and shower area have all been clean.
When we went (July 2025) the water was closed due to Cyanobacteria Blooms, hence the 1 star deduction. We are grateful that they are honest about it, but it is disappointing to not be able to swim at the campers beach.
Overall it’s a clean, relaxing campsite and we will be back.

Hard Pass.
Although the campground itself has amazing potential and some fantastic folks, the management has no interest in actually making it better. The electrical system has claimed countless rv components and 2 total losses. Instead of fixing it, they simply run generators for years.
If you go take every precaution from the electrical. Its dangerous.
As for a golf resort. Lol. The 9 hole course is more weeds than course. The greens have not been cared for in 10+ years. The only folks I ever saw use the course were taking drunken hacks more like weed eating than golfing.
Just not a nice place currently. Maybe some day.

Not terrible, but not great
TENT CAMPSITE REVIEW All tent sites are in the way back of the campground. It is very weird... the office (which is only open until 5 PM????? Whaaaat????) Is across the street from where all the campsites are located. Almost all the roads winding through the layout are one way. The sites are very close together with not enough tree coverage between them. We could talk to all people around us at our site which thankfully everyone was super nice, but I'm sure if it were the opposite our experience would have been worse off. The lake is very pretty and we had a nice time out on the water in our raft. Showers and flush toilets nearest to the tent sites are brand new. Can only park one vehicle on site due to fire safety laws which means one of your cars is across the street in overflow, so not really convenient. Would consider coming again in the off season so that it isn't so crowded.
