Lakeside Camping

Lakeside Camping sits beside Island Pond in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, operating seasonally from mid-May through early September. The campground accommodates RVs up to 95 feet with full hookups, though maneuvering larger rigs proves challenging according to recent visitors. Sites vary significantly in size, with some requiring careful positioning for units over 30 feet.

The property features both drive-in and boat-in access, with a beach area and dock for water activities like kayaking. Seasonal campers occupy lakefront spots, while transient sites are located inland or across a hill for pull-through access. Basic amenities include restrooms, showers, and WiFi, with campfires permitted throughout the grounds. For additional camping choices, campgrounds near Island Pond provide alternatives for various rig sizes and preferences.

Visitors often highlighted excellent kayaking opportunities and beautiful lake views. However, some feedback indicated significant challenges with site size and layout for larger RVs, with cramped spaces making setup difficult.

Tight spaces

The first thing that happened is you go over the train tracks to go to the office to register and you have to turn your rig around to go to Riverside which the sites are extremely small had a 42 foot fifth wheel and took me 15 minutes to get set so I could disconnect. good thing there was no one next to me on both sides so I had room to move around otherwise I would’ve never made it in there. The view is beautiful. The lake is pretty. They have seasonals set up on the lake and when we were there, they were pretty obnoxious and loud cursing every two seconds no one came around to check anything. They have a lot of rules, but they don’t enforce any of them. If you want to go to pull through you go on the other side of the camp where you have to climb a huge hill and then maneuver around to get into a pull through that’s only about 10 foot wide. So my suggestion would be if you have a small camper great if you have anything over 30 feet find somewhere else.

We have been coming here for the last 14 years together, and my husband since he was a baby. Lovely small quaint town and beautiful campground. The beach is the best! Not overcrowded. Great place to go kayaking, jump off the dock, or go search for the log! Best camping out there!
