What to do
Waterfront activities at Dingman's Family Campground: The campground offers direct river access where you can launch kayaks and tubes or swim. "Absolutely loved this campground, sites are well spaced and the surrounding area is gorgeous! We had a tent site right on the river and couldn't have been happier with our stay," notes one camper.
Hiking at Woodford State Park Campground: Walking trails circle the park's lake and connect to longer routes. A visitor mentioned, "This campground offers great hiking and a casual feel to it. Good for passer byes or staying the weekend to go fishing. Again on Route 9 so not the quietest campground, but there are back sites that offer some more privacy if wanted."
Fishing opportunities at Moreau Lake State Park Campground: The lake provides fishing access, though catches may vary by season. "Nice state campground, very clean, nice staff. Campground and swimming area becomes very crowded, especially on holiday weekend due to proximity to I-87 and number of downstate tourists that frequent the park. Lake is nice for canoeing and kayaking but fish number and sizes are limited," according to one reviewer.
What campers like
Clean facilities at Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites: The campground maintains exceptionally clean bathrooms. A camper noted, "We never been here. This campground is quite small. But quiet. It's located off a dead end street. There is a lame right down the street. They have cabins, tent sites and everything sites. Have a small camp store."
Family-oriented atmosphere at Adventure Bound Camping Resort at Deer Run: Water attractions keep children entertained. "Family oriented. The kids loved love water attractions. Our site was large and shaded. The draw back is where you need to park the camper is about 7 inches out of level. If we stay in the same site again we would come better prepared," wrote one visitor.
Secluded sites at Woodford State Park Campground: Privacy between camping spots creates a more peaceful experience. A reviewer shared, "We love the VT state parks and try to camp there 3-4 times a summer. We unexpectedly had a free Saturday afternoon and night and 2 borrowed kayaks. This was our first visit to Woodford. Site 13 was the only one available. It's on the corner of the first loop, but that wasn't an issue to us at all!"
What you should know
Seasonal operation limitations: Most cabin facilities close during winter months. Woodford State Park Campground operates "Memorial Day weekend to Columbus Day weekend," while Moreau Lake State Park Campground runs "May 6 to October 13."
Variable amenities between cabins: Comfort levels differ significantly. At Frosty Acres, cabins provide electric hookups in wooded settings, while a reviewer noted about Moreau Lake: "Nicely treed sites and cabins with a pretty lake. Hiking, biking, swimming, boat/canoe/paddleboard rentals. No hookups but does have dump station."
Reservation requirements at Clarksburg State Park Campground: Advance booking is essential, especially for waterfront sites. "Several spots (including ours 6) were very close to the rather large pond. While the trees obstruct the views, the site was waterfront and we were able to walk a few yards downhill to the waters edge where we launched our kayaks," explains one camper.
Tips for camping with families
Water features for children: Adventure Bound Camping Resort provides pools and water attractions that appeal to families. A visitor mentioned, "This was my very first trip in an rv so I was a little nervous but overall everything went very smoothly. All of the sites are pull through so no worries about backing in. They are pretty close together but we went so early in the season we didn't have anyone on either side of us."
Kid-friendly layout at Woodford: The campground design allows for safe exploration. "If you're looking for a quiet spot maybe don't look here. If you have kids and don't mind them making friends and roaming the campground then this is great! Boat rentals!" shares one camper.
Playground access at Moreau Lake State Park: Recreation areas provide additional entertainment options. "The beach area seems to be a draw for people so the summer camping season is probably packed. The snack bar and gift/supplies shop at the sandy beach area were not open as we were there late in the season. There is also a nice playground for kids to enjoy," notes a visitor.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges at multiple campgrounds: Many sites require leveling equipment. About Adventure Bound, a camper advised: "If we stay in the same site again we would come better prepared," referring to a site that was "7 inches out of level."
Limited big rig access at Clarksburg: Narrow roads restrict larger vehicles. "This campground is fairly small with a lot of diversity in campsite size, privacy, and levelness. Our site was right next to another with little in between and our neighbors had a big rig and ran the generator long chunks of the day."
Site selection considerations: At Clarksburg State Park, drainage issues affect some spots. "Before we packed up, we took advantage of a break in the rain to get photos of as many sites as we could. Hopefully they'll come in handy for future campers. These were all taken after several hours of heavy rain, so the photos should give you a good idea of what sites have drainage issues."
