  Scenic View Campground

  Great experience!

  For a smaller campground it was everything we wanted; it was quiet; and the sites were a good size for our pop up; we stayed at site 20; which was the biggest along the waterfront. There is a nice walking trail and peaceful water view sites. The staff was super friendly and made our stay very enjoyable! Sites of all sizes from tent sites to large pull through sites for the big rigs! We will deff be back! Smaller camp store but there is a hardware/general store right down the road. Close to ATV trails. Ports potties were exceptionally clean. Propane is also sold on site. Pet friendly with appropriate documentation. I look forward to our next trip!

  Abel Mountain Campground

  Great Mid Week Adventure

  My husband and I are seniors and spent 3 nights, Tuesday to Friday in June on site 51. Abel Mtn. Campground was easy enough to find. We have a 21' travel trailer and took advantage of the full hookups that most of the sites provide, including our first time using cable TV. As everyone else who reviews this place said, the owners are the first pleasure you find there. There's a heated pool, strong WiFi at your site, tons of clean river sites, immaculate rest rooms with an accessible ramp and lots of showers. For activities, you can hike on trails across the foot bridge and fish in many places along the river. They recycle everything possible and even provide composting of plant based waste. We have rarely found a returnable bottles and cans container so finding that and even composting is a notch well above the competition. Being the middle of June, there were no kids around but the photos and the two playgrounds tell us kids must love the place. Sites are back-in and very level on gravel pads. We highly recommend the place. Oh and a word to the wise, you will hear a train go by somewhere and the whistle will wake you up but no worries, it's all part of the ambiance.

  Moose River Campground

  Great People, Nice Campground

  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.

  Prouty Beach Campground

  Just so, so

  This is a county park in what Vermonters call the Northeast Kingdom. The campground sits on Lake Memphremagog overlooking downtown Newport. The park covers 35 acres with 75 campsites and many amenities that you would expect in a public park like tennis courts, playground, disc golf course, basketball court, shuffleboard, horseshoe pits, walking paths, and bike and boat rentals. Campground amenities include 50-amp, water, sewer, laundry, free showers and restrooms, and free wi-fi. 

  Prouty Beach Campground is in a great location to downtown Newport and there is a biking/walking path to downtown which is about a half mile away. Since the campground is close to downtown and Newport is a fairly small town, you are close to restaurants, and stores. 

  During our stay, there was an ongoing summer camp for kids which was a little annoying. While the kids were not in the campground, we constantly heard them and they used all parts of the park. because of the noise, their use of the beach and other parts of the park. 

  Our electric was problematic. Granted it was hot while we were there (in the high 80’s and low 90’s) our electric pedestal showed readings between 110 and 115 volts which was constantly cutting off our air conditioners. Even though our generator is set to automatically come on, we did not leave our dog unattended just in case that safety measure failed. They kept saying someone would come by to replace the breaker but that never happened. At least the weather cooled off so the electrical grid was not as taxed. 

  The park website needs to be updated to accurately reflect the degree of electricity. Despite what the website says, all campsites have 50 amps. The office hours are weird and we could never get a hold of anyone despite trying calling at all times of the day and varying days. Even during our stay, we noticed the office hours are more hit or miss than regular, The campground was very clean. The staff used push mowers and weed whackers to cautiously cut grass around campsites. There was no trash laying around and every morning we saw them rake beach grass and debris along the beach so it was very clean for swimmers.

  Abel Mountain Campground

  Quiet and relaxing

  I spent a couple of days at Abel Mountain with my dog, and we both had a nice stay. The campground is quiet and relaxing with plenty of space and a beautiful river that kept my dog entertained for hours. I was at site 72, an easy pull-through with plenty of shade.

  Wifi was decent, cable hook-up did not provide a clear picture, and Verizon cell service was minimal. 

  Close to Randolph for groceries and take-out. The Barn gas station complex off of Exit 4 was perfect for fueling-up before getting back on the road.

  Excellent military discount - 25%, so the stay was similar in cost to staying on at a military base's Famcamp.

  If I'm ever back in Vermont, I'll probably stay here again.

  Quechee-Pine Valley KOA

  Typical KOA

  This KOA is what you expect from a KOA– lots of amenities, sites of all sizes and levels of cost, tons of activities, and in a vacation destination area. We spent five nights at the campground and found lots to do in the area and that we had an enjoyable and pleasant stay. 

  The park is a large park that is terraced since it is in a pretty hilly area. There is the range of sites from pull-thrus, pull-ins and back-in sites and can accommodate RVs of any size. Some sites are full hookup while others are not and that is reflected in the cost. We paid $57/nigh for our full hookup site which is pretty costly especially since we did not use any of the amenities. Most sites are gravel with gravel patios but there are deluxe sites with paved patios, patio furniture, umbrella, and gas bbq grill. There are also camping cabins, some of which have kitchenettes and bathrooms that sleep six people. 

  Our site, was located in the back of the park in a quieter section because it was away from most of the activities and park entrance. The site was a pull-in which was kind of nice because the view out of our front windshield was of a wooded area. Our fire pit was in the front of our site so there was a nice amount of privacy when we sat outside by a campfire and didn’t feel like we were on the side of the road. Despite the hilliness of the park and all the trees, we did not have any trouble navigating our 45’ RV to our site. The trees at our site would prevent satellite television reception but our site had cable and we got about 20 or so channels. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Like many KOAs there are tons of amenities and things for kids to do – swimming pool, fishing ponds, bike rental, scheduled activities, propane sales, camp store, fire wood delivery, and more. There is a fenced dog park which was a fairly good size and our lab was happy to chase a ball. 

  As a whole, the park was very clean and manicured. No trash laying around and the gravel roads were free of potholes. The campground is located near the Queechee Gorge, covered bridges, hiking trails (including sections of the Appalachian Trail), good dining, maple syrup/cheese farm, the Marsh Billings- Rockefeller National Historic Park.

  Jacobs Brook Campground

  Clean, quiet wooded sites.

  One nice thing about being part of the Dyrt community is discovering spots you'd never thought about exploring and this is one of those places.Jacobs brook is a small family owned campground with about 50 wooded sites. The seasonal campsites are separate from the short term campers and their sites are nicely maintained. There's a book that runs through the campground, providing a shady respite and swimming hole in a hot summer day. Only one of the sites is located along the brook (45), but there's an easy path down a hill. 

  In the middle of the campground near the entrance there's a swimming pool, playground, horseshoes, and basketball. There's a large fire pit with chairs surrounding it in front of the office.  Nice view of the sky on a clear night.

  Sites vary in size. The ones on the 50s have a sloped approach. The lower numbers offer pull-through access. Call to make your reservations and tell assign the site. Tee tent only sites tent tho fill sooner than trailer sites. Oh, and they have a couple of unique sites with boats! There is a large group site as well.

  It's quiet and people are friendly. Bathrooms are clean;in 2020 their use is restricted to use by short term tent/pop-up/teardrop campers; seasonal campers and short termers with larger rigs must use their own facilities.

  You're near the Vermont border and Connecticut river with boating and hiking opportunities nearby, or you could just stay put and enjoy the brook and amenities the campground has to offer.

  Verizon coverage varies 1-3 bars

  Camp Kiki

  A hidden gem in the heart of the Kingdom Trails.

  This campground is drive in and never touch the car again. Two huge sites that can be rented in tandem as a group site. Each site has a prep table, picnic table, fire pit, 5 gallons of fresh water, a raised platform for tents, and a porta potty. Very spacious sites. Easily two camoer vans and two tents on each site. Site is at the bottom of Kitchel and Herbs trails, atop the exit/entrance trails into the village of East Burke. Showers are a short walk away at Mike's Tiki Bar, in the Kingdom parking lot. The sites can be reserved, and usually are up to a year in advance. So call ahead! Sites are pet friendly and there's lots of space for big dogs to run around. Sites are super private from the outside world. This place is truly a hidden gem that can make your trip.
