Best RV Parks & Resorts near Jay Peak, VT

This is one big Rv Resort on Lake Champlain. The sites are tighter than we like. This resort has a lot to offer. The pool was packed yet felt good. The place is maintained well and very clean. There is a big playground which keeps the kids busy. Met some very nice people that rent a Seasonal place there. They come every year for 2 months. 

There is a small store onsite and they sell some groceries, wood & ice there too. Devyn's Creemee Stand is close we got ice cream, farm fresh eggs and Maple syrup from there. There was a farm stand on the main road we got the best lettuce, strawberries and cilantro from the stand.

There is a boat ramp and docks onsite yet the docks aren't part of the resort. They do have an area you can store your boat and trailer. The restrooms were clean, showers and a laundry room which was needed by us. There is a big long sandy beach, a rec hall, and lots of games to play. The campground was pretty full it is well liked by all.

They have an area for tents too. Your close to NY, facing the Adirondack Mountains. We aren't into the big RV resort places we like more privacy and larger sites.

We stayed in two of the three lean-tos over the weekend in August 2019. The third was vacant. The lean tos were right next to the large RVs and full hook up campers. Our group camped both inside the lean tos and in pitched tents.

It was pretty loud because we were by the huge RVs and camper vehicles, we were by the main road too which contributed to the noise.

It’s in a great location near the beach and we had a very nice 30 minute walk into downtown Burlington. For that convenience the site was in an ideal location! Overall it felt pretty safe even though the sites felt close to one another

Very clean and quiet campground mostly set up for RVs. All RV sites have water, sewer, and electric. Tent sites have water and electric. Toilets and showers were very clean but showers were coin op. A bit on the pricey side but you’re close to everything in the NEK.

This is a small family-owned and operated campground just a few miles outside of St. Johnsbury, Vermont. The campground abuts the Moose River which makes for a pretty backdrop and wonderful place to dip your toes in the water. The shallow river is a clear flowing rocky river. 

The campground is a mix of seasonal and transient campers with sites large enough to fit big rigs. There is also a rental camper and cabin available. There were tent sites but the owner mentioned they may fade those out. We stayed in a large pull thru (well over 125’), full hook-up site in the center section of the campground. (Site 27 @ $47/night). The electric worked fine and the sewer was easily reached with my 20’ sewer hose. The pad was gravel (as were the roads) and the patio was nice grass. Cable television is available and produced 32 stations. Our Verizon hotspot and phone worked well. 

There are lots of activities at this park. It seems like every week there was a community bonfire where lots of palettes were set ablaze. During our stay, there was a potluck dinner in which the owners supplied roast beef and hosted us in a large covered pavilion. One evening they drove around the campground offering free ice cream sandwiches or drum sticks. Some mornings they supplied free bagels or donuts and always had free coffee. And, there were people always on the porch playing cards. Amenities include river access, a decent size dog park, large covered pavilion, bathhouse and laundry. When you arrive, you are given a swag bag with printed information about the surrounding area and businesses. This is a really nice touch because the reusable bag can be used in the grocery store as plastic bags have been banned in Vermont. 

If you can score a riverfront site those are nice to sit outside and enjoy a fire. The pull thru sites are very close on one side as each RV pulls in the opposite direction; however, the sites are so long that if you pull up far enough you are not looking at your neighbor. Your patio opens to a neighbor but the sites are far enough away that it’s not a bother and you don’t feel like you are on top of them. Probably the nicest site in the park is #23 which is a back-in site with your patio facing the river. 

The campground is in a good location, just a few miles from downtown St. Johnsbury, just a mile or so from “Dog Mountain,” and about 15 miles from Littleton, New Hampshire. There is a town forest just a few miles away that has some nice hiking trails. The campground is pretty small so we were happy to find places to hike with our dog.

we stayed here because white caps camp was full and we were glad we did! close enough to both beach areas you can still get a great spot in the morning but off the main strip so you can get some quiet. the sites vary like all RV parks but there were options for seclusion. the employees were kind and helpful and the store wall small but had the necessities.

we were in site 95 and even though it was next to the rest room it was quiet and clean with woods in the back. at&t 4g covered most of camp. showers were 50 cents for 5 minutes.

We are a full-time traveling family with 2 kids (8 & 13) and 2 English Bulldogs. We have a Class A motorhome and flat tow a Jeep. We spent 2 nights at Moose River in Vermont. We knew ahead of time that their site said they don't cater to kids; however, we felt like we had eyes on us the entire time and not just because we had kids with us. The owners were certainly nice enough, but there were more rules of "what not to do" then there was a hospitable welcome. We didn't spend much time at the campground overall and tried to stay out exploring. We did stay in a level pull thru site with full hookups. We would've liked to have stayed on the water, but the available sites there did not offer 50amp. 

If you are not traveling with kids and are simply looking for a clean place to camp, you may really enjoy the site. 

Inside tip! Take the 30 minute or so drive to East Corinth to view the little town Beetlejuice was filmed in! Also, be sure to drive across the street to the top of Dog Mountain.

Can’t say enough good things about this place.  It is a private landowners land, and she has various camping options including a cabin, hives, or open locations for rv or tent camping.  We stayed for a long weekend with friends in a separate rv, and then a friend who rented a hive.  The land is 8 acres, and you feel a sense of privacy and serenity. You hear roosters in the morning from a local farm.  The views are vast, and it’s relaxing.

Logistically, there is a good place for rv parking below the garden hoop house.  It is a flat long gravel area, which can access power, but you’ll need an extension chord or two to reach it.  The hives are set back from this area and behind other gardens, near a water source.   There is a cabin in the middle of the property, and then additional rv or tent camping in another area above the main house, which also has an electric hookup.  Each area is far enough away from the others that you feel a sense of privacy and serenity.  

There is a common area building on the property with Wi-Fi, a bathroom and a kitchen area, which seemed to be used mostly for making tea or accessing the kitchen sink for water.  I am not sure if you could use it for cooking - you would need to ask the landowner.  It has a small sitting area with tourism/hiking/sightseeing guides and maps.  We used it to check email and make phone calls, as cell access is spotty in this general area of Vermont and we didn’t have a cell signal by our rv.  You can shower and use the toilet.  I would recommend bringing your own soap and shampoo.

There are a few fire pit areas on the property, and the land owner will show you where you can find wood in the surrounding woods.  The gardens are full of flowers and vegetables.    There is also a sauna and a yoga room, neither of which we used. 

It truly is a magical environment.  You are a few minutes away from Cabot, which is very small.  The area is a hiking and gravel biking hot bed.  The “Ride the Ridges” gravel ride passes the property, so you can do the course from there.  There are numerous hikes of all distances and difficulty in this area of Vermont.

Small Campground right on the river . Majority of campground appeared to be seasonal but some overnight spots open . Made reservations last minute and had a large full hookup pull through in middle of loop. Owner very welcoming . Stayed during Covid in August 2020. Road noise as it sits on busy road .

Would recommend as campground was well maintained and quiet . Definitely try for a site in the river .

The campground is small and oh so charming. The spaces are nice sized with full hookups on most. All the lots are beautifully landscaped. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The laundry room is near most sites. The campground is in the perfect location to visit Lake Champlain. There is so much to do in the area.

This camp ground was really perfect for our first RV camping trip ever. We got space 14 which is an easy drive through site for beginners like us. The bench around the fire ring and the spacing between other sites where great. The short walk to the beach was a plus. The owners super kind and helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at North Beach Campground.

We spent 4 days in a full hookup site. The site was spacious, tree covered, and hard packed grass/dirt. Overall the site was very level with good water pressure. The water/electric sites in the middle of the campground were a bit snug. The campground is a city operated campground and we were impressed with the upkeep, maintenance and friendly service during our stay. The camp office is small, but has information on area attractions, Ice, and fire wood. The bathhouse/restrooms were well kept during our stay even with the volume of campers at the site.

Location, Location, Location is the main reason to stay at North Beach. The campground is literally along the Island Line bike/walking trail and had direct access to the beach on Lake Champlain (life guards, snack bar, and patio bar). The city center of Burlington is only 1.5 miles along the bike path from the campground. Most days we either walked or biked into town (which has ample bike racks to park your bike).

While we stayed in our camper, as a former die-hard tent camper, I was impressed with the number of tent friendly sites, because most campgrounds see tenters as “second class”. The tent sites were spacious, level, and not located in some obscure location.  

We loved North Beach and plan to camp here in the future!

Lake Champlain, Burlington, the bike path, breathtaking panoramic layered mountain views across the lake, clean and clear water, a beautiful beach with great amenities.... the campground is in an unbeatable location. Our site (108), site 95, and the row of full hookups are the only ones with any significant space or privacy. This is one of the most beautiful and scenic areas in the world ( I have seen a lot of places). The campground is ok, but it is only a place to sleep. So much to do and see here. Loved it.

We're just here one night, but we like our experience so far. Very peaceful... nestled among the trees. Quick and easy check in process. Level sites.

Very happy.

This ground was very quiet. Mostly seasonal sites with only one overnight site that I saw. No tents allowed. There was not many people around, everything looked clean. The families in the seasonal sites were very friendly. There is also a small pool, play ground and a picnic table and hook ups from the sites. Overnight sites are grassy with fire rings.

This is an extremely organized and well run campground. Very neat and clean with great views of the lake in multiple directions. The sites are pretty large and level and the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. We travel in a 38 ft. Class A Motorhome and had no problems whatsoever navigating to our campsite. We had a great time and will be back.

Campsite is clean. Water and electric hookups available. Sites are pretty close together along the rim of a large field. Not particularly pretty campground but close to Montpelier. It does the trick.

Apple Island is a huge campground with great sites and wonderful views of Lake Champlain. The front sections of the campground are where most of the transient RVs parked(and have the views of the lake) whereas the back section of the campground has a mix of transient RV sites and seasonal park models but no views. Most campsites are in the open with a lack of shade or privacy. If you visit in the summer you may want to make sure your patio is on the shaded site. 

The sites with the best views are the Platinum Plus which are also the most expensive. Some Platinum Plus sites are in the first row with unobstructed views; whereas, our site was three rows back. Not sure why they charge the same when our site was overlooking two rows of RVs. If there is no one in front of you it is great but otherwise you will have a partially obstructed view. The rows are terraced and they do offset sites on each row which is good. Our site was pricey at $94/night that includes taxes. The hook-ups at our site (11AD) were well-placed but the sewer pipe was high off the ground which did not let it drain even with a “slinky.”  The cable yielded a number of channels but was not HD. Campground Wifi was good and our Verizon phone and hotspot worked well. 

There is a nice pool with plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The pool opens at 9am for adult lap swims for an hour which we took advantage of daily. It was crowded with four of us trying to swim laps and people trying to do water aerobics. The large clubhouse hosts a variety of events like bingo, ice cream socials, dinners, etc. There is also a large library and decent fitness center. The store is very well stocked with nice gifts, lots of craft beers, abundant food items, and a café. There is a short trail on the property which leads to a large open grassy area with a great view of the lake and area where we threw a ball for our dog. There is a 9-hole par-3 golf course with putting green. 

One of my complaints was that the grass in some areas really needed to be cut. At our site the weeds got super high and were sharp and prickly which was annoying to us and our dog. During our two-week stay they never cut the grass in our section. Some areas of the park are left in a natural state which is great but it seems the grass and weeds at campsites should be cut. They have garbage pickup at your site which is not our preference. We prefer to take it out after dinner because we don’t like smelly garbage in our coach all night but they said we could not access the dumpsters. If the garbage wasn’t immediately picked up after being put out the seagulls and crows went to town and left garbage scattered everywhere. Most of the waterfront sites are nose-in and suited well for motorhomes. Sometimes they would park a towable next to them and if they backed in there would be a shared patio which works out great if you want a buddy site but not if you don’t know your neighbors. 

Across the street is a marina with rental boats/kayaks and a boat launch. We launched our paddleboard and kayak there but it was pretty mucky getting in and out of our boats. We were allowed to leave our kayak locked on a rack at the marina so we didn’t have to take it back to our campsite every day.

Nearby are a few nature preserves with short trails and within a mile is a swimming beach and free access to the water for exploring the marshes and the abundant birdlife. Close to the campground are a winery, brewery, plenty of restaurants (we loved Wally’s for bagel sandwiches), and a small grocery that has everything (including liquor) you might need (Keeler’s Mkt.) South Hero and Grand Isle have nice farmers markets with a good selection of items.
