Camping near Moscow, Vermont ranges from boat-in remote sites on the Waterbury Reservoir to developed campgrounds with RV facilities, cabins, and tent sites. 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.
"Little River State Park is located just outside of Waterbury Vermont so it’s an ideal location for jumping off on other adventures!"
"We came here to hike the Dalley Loop Trail (which is a great trail full of history), but we wish we had camped here instead of the private campground 45 minutes away where we did stay."

Check in was easy, and the staff were present enough in case you had questions or needed to buy firewood.""It’s centrally located to many wonderful sites around Stowe and Waterbury. Check-in was a breeze. We picked up our packet from the office mail box and headed to our site."
"They ask that you limit your driving on the path to the site- so we were sure to go into town to get all we needed before we settled into camp- which wasnt hard to do."
"Camp spots were far enough away from one another, trees helped with privacy, and the tent site had a great area to setup the tent.
Facilities were accessible and clean."

LegendWe camp here a lot. We recently scored the Cherry lean-to, and I think it has the best view in the park! Bugs were bad this spring, but the sunsets made up for it. We hiked the Stevenson Brook Trail (amazing), swam in the 55-degree water (exhilarating), and cooked lots of yummy food (campfire nachos!).
GuideRight along the road (so if anything happens you can get help) also has wifi signal. It’s right along a creek that’s clean and beautiful. Crisp air and calming flowing river noises all night made it so I slept like a baby!
GuideDrove all the way here just to pull in and see signs that say “no overnight camping”
ScoutPublic Lands with about 8 semi private sites, each with nice views west or easterly. It's a large meadow and with a breeze, it will keep bugs away. Lacking a breeze, it is tough but still beautiful
TravelerMy favorite campsite we stayed at on my 2 week trip (despite the bugs lol). Great swimming hole and very well kept. Very beautiful and loved my stay.
ScoutPam met us outside as she said ‘dodging rain drops’ to stack wood. She was warm and friendly. You can tell she runs a tight ship immediately telling us when quite hours were, and letting us know the dogs needed to be on leash and under our control. We brought our 2 labs with us. Only 2 vehicles per site is allowed. You do need tokens to use the shower. 2 tokens was more than enough for me to shower and not feel rushed. The bathrooms are AMAZING! I am looking forward to coming back!
ScoutAs noted by others, most of the sites have a fire ring and nothing more. A little more than half of the sites can be driven to and others require a very short walk (50 ft?). The toilets mentioned are at Texas falls area and are not a practical walk from most of the campsites.
There are no showers.
Aside from the loop trail at the falls there are also a couple of snowmobile trails that cross the area.
ScoutSame name and google search, but new owner since 2024. We just wrapped up a stay at this campground and I can honestly say… we’ll be back.🙌 From the moment we arrived, you could feel the pride the owner has poured into this place. The new power and water hookups are a huge upgrade, and it’s exciting to see the vision for future expansion already coming to life. Everything about our stay felt easy, welcoming, and most importantly—safe. It’s the kind of spot where you can truly relax, enjoy your time, and feel right at home. Clean, well cared for, and clearly built with heart. Can’t wait to come back and see how it continues to grow.🌲✨
RangerStayed here for a week. Josh and Dori were super nice and helpful. Level grass field with water and 30amp hookup. Fire pit port o potty, creek across the street. Very pretty setting. Dark sky area. Cell att and Verizon we decent enough to work plus they had WiFi if needed.
Moscow, Vermont offers unique camping experiences for outdoor enthusiasts. The area sits at elevations around 800-1000 feet within the Green Mountains, experiencing cool summer nights often dropping to the 50s even during July and August. Waterbury Reservoir provides 850 acres of water surface and numerous remote camping sites that require boat access through either Cotton Brook or Little River access points.
Hiking historic trails: Little River State Park Campground provides access to numerous historic hiking trails. "The hiking trails are really good--the actually pretty steep. There are lots of old foundations hidden on the trails that are fun to discover," notes Rita M. The park features remnants of an abandoned town with numerous foundations to explore.
Water activities beyond the reservoir: Visitors seeking alternatives to Waterbury Reservoir can find excellent options at Elmore State Park Campground. "Nice quiet space on a beautiful lake. Easy hiking trails with a fire tower on the mountain," shares Desiree V. The park includes a sandy beach on Lake Elmore and trails leading to a fire tower with panoramic views.
Mountain exploration: For those wanting to explore Vermont's highest peak, Smugglers Notch State Park Campground provides direct access. "You are minutes from some amazing hiking, which is great when you don't feel like driving long distances after a day hike," writes Ben C. The park offers multiple entry points to Mount Mansfield's trail system.
Remote water access: The boat-in sites at Waterbury Reservoir Remote Sites offer truly secluded camping. "These remote sites are so peaceful. Be sure to launch from cotton brook road if your site r11-27," advises Julia S., noting the paddle takes about 30 minutes from Cotton Brook launch, making gear transport more manageable than from Little River Road.
Strategic location for regional exploration: Gold Brook Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring both Stowe and broader Vermont attractions. "Super conveniently located to all of the hiking and biking Stowe has to offer. The hosts are super friendly and the primitive camp sites are spacious and located along a quaint brook and sprawling meadow," reports Shannon L.
Seasonal flexibility: Underhill State Park offers specific benefits for those visiting outside peak season. "I would highly recommend this campground to anyone looking to visit the Stowe/Waterbury area. We had easy access to hikes in Stowe, plus the Ben and Jerry's shop is about 20 minutes down the road!" shares Alison O. about Little River State Park.
Varying site privacy levels: Site selection significantly impacts privacy across campgrounds. At Elmore State Park, "Our lean-to, Hickory is situated in a lovely meadow, but quite close to other campers... Some of the wooded tent sites are quite private, but most are not," explains Tara S. However, the trade-off can be worthwhile: "Because our lean-to was in a meadow with no tree coverage, we were treated to the most awesome night sky we've ever seen at a Vermont state park."
Bathroom variations: Facilities differ dramatically between campgrounds. Mountain View Campground features "a new bathhouse, laundry" according to Nancy W., while at the remote Waterbury Reservoir sites, Julia S. warns "The bathroom is a composting toilet that you'll share with fishing spiders the size of your hand, slam the lid before use!"
Limited cell connectivity: Cell service remains spotty throughout the region, particularly at remote sites. Pack physical maps and download any essential information before arrival, as even campgrounds near Stowe have limited connectivity in certain areas.
Historic exploration options: Little River State Park offers unique educational opportunities. "We visited here with our 5 kiddos for 2 nights late July 2016. The facilities were clean, the small playground was great, and the small boat launch and beach kept us in the water," writes Rita M.
Alternative beach access: When campground beaches get crowded, consider day trips to North Beach Campground in Burlington, about 30 miles from Moscow. "Burlington is my favorite city by far, and this campground is right on the beach! You get the best of both worlds at this location. Biking into Burlington takes 5-10 minutes and you're also right on the beach of Lake Champlain," recommends Brittany R.
Weather preparedness: Mountain weather changes rapidly in the region. Pack layers for all family members, as nighttime temperatures commonly drop 30-40 degrees below daytime highs, even in summer months.
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the area have uneven sites requiring effort to level larger vehicles. At Singing Wood Farm, Heather C. reports, "The sites in the field are generally un-level, and we had to really work to level our trailer."
Limited hookup availability: Full hookup options are concentrated at private campgrounds. Mountain View Campground provides complete services, with Nancy W. noting, "Despite the really hot weather and need to run three air conditioners, we did not have any power issues."
Narrow access roads: Several campgrounds have difficult approach roads. For Little River State Park, Nicholas G. advises, "Rough road coming to campground. Very quite. Site could hold big rig we have a 28ft 5th wheel plenty of room for 35/40."
