Best Campgrounds near Moscow, VT

627 Reviews

Moscow, Vermont's surrounding area encompasses several state parks and private campgrounds offering a diverse range of camping accommodations. Little River State Park Campground and Waterbury Reservoir Remote Sites provide access to the Waterbury Reservoir, with options ranging from tent-only remote sites accessible by boat to developed campgrounds with RV facilities. Gold Brook Campground in nearby Stowe and Mountain View Campground in Morrisville expand the options with cabin rentals alongside traditional tent and RV sites. The region balances primitive camping experiences with more developed facilities within a 30-mile radius.

Seasonal considerations heavily influence camping opportunities throughout the area. Most campgrounds operate from late May through mid-October, with Little River State Park open from May 19 to October 22, and Gold Brook operating May 23 to October 15. "The reservoir was beautiful. Took the kayak, only issue I had was getting to the lake. Most sites up on hill looking over lake, not easily assessable from camp site, but still had a great time," noted one camper about Little River State Park. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with Little River State Park having limited coverage. Advance reservations are strongly recommended for weekend stays during peak summer months.

Water access represents a significant draw for many campers visiting the Moscow area. The remote sites at Waterbury Reservoir receive high praise for their peacefulness and prime locations, though they require planning for boat-in access. One visitor emphasized, "These remote sites are so peaceful. Be sure to launch from cotton brook road if your site r11-27. We made the mistake of parking at Little River rd the first time and the paddle to r14 from there was way too long." Gold Brook Campground provides a convenient base for exploring Stowe's attractions, featuring spacious level sites and a small pool. For families, Little River State Park stands out with ranger-led programs during summer weekends, including mushroom hunts, guided paddles, and ghost walks, plus hiking trails that lead to historical sites including an abandoned town and cemetery.

    Moscow Recreation Park

    Quiet & Safe in Stowe

    Quiet spot out of the way. Large sporting field car park suitable for big dogs. No 'no camping' signs. There was a portaloo on site.

    Shelburne Camping Area

    Nice Campground

    This is a nice little private campground in Shelburne, just outside of Burlington. Close to Lake Champlain. Good place to spend the night and good access to activities. Sides are somewhat small close together. Bathrooms spotlessly clean. Older couple is the staff, very friendly and unhelpful.

    Woodbury Meadows Campground

    Family-Owned Campground Near Stowe

    With 6 sites, this family-owned campground was the perfect pit stop on our road trip to Stowe. Dig and kid friendly. Has showers, water, and electrical hookup.

    Crown Point Campground

    Nice with a view

    Pretty nice campground all things considered, bathrooms are definitely rustic but kept clean. Some of the campsites are very close together, and others have a decent amount of space between them, not necessarily a lot of trees in between campsites for privacy. Beautiful views of the water, and surrounding mountains. Staff was extremely friendly!

    AuSable Chasm Campground

    Beautiful/Fun Campground

    I wish I had my bike!!! I didn’t know that this was a biking campground and there were SO MANY trails. Made the most of them with running, but overall, a fantastic campground. Showers were clean, staff was very friendly. Sites and attractions within walking distance (but busy roads to cross).
