Sites 113 to 119 are bad. Very close to each other. No redeeming qualities.

"The Camp store is expensive (like your normal camp stores) but it is also very close to Plattsburgh which has the mall and anything you might need."

"I rented a stand up paddle board at a place nearby for the day and had fun playing in the water. The weather was perfect in the summer. Definitely bring bug spray would be my only complaint!"
GuideWhat a lovely state park! We had a huge campsite that was comfortable for 3 tents and 6 adults. The restrooms/showers are vintage but clean and functional. Showers are coin operated. It was a quiet, family friendly campground with a cute little beach and nature center with youth programs. The only small drawback is that the water front sites are overgrown with trees on the other side of a fence. You could see the water in some parts but not all of the site. Overall- a great place!
TravelerStopped by midweek without reservation after vehicle issues forced a stop by the nearby shops in Barre/Berlin. Very peaceful with ample hammock spots. They sell wood stacked in cribs, wish I'd planned for that as I ended up using my only towel to haul it. Good price on the wood, though.
I'd come back here if it were just to quietly meditate or read or something, but don't know if there's much to do. I didn't experience the same issues others did with bathroom as some other reviews and surprised to learn there are campers who require a full kitchen sink- I just use a couple of rags.
Bottom line, a lovely but unmemorable stay.
TravelerI was on a water spot but the only problem is u have to climb over logs to get to the water , from the riverside. But had a great time the logs were my only complaint, someone came around at.night with firewood and ice,
ScoutPeople at check in are incredibly rude and dismissive. Showed up late after driving all day as walk ins(have driven all the way across the country staying in campgrounds and state park campgrounds as walkins and have never had a problem) and they turned us away. It’s almost 10 pm, they had spots open and they wouldn’t let us in. We went back a second time to plead for a spot after not being able to find any other place to stay in the vicinity and they laughed at us. Incredibly rude and unprofessional staff.
ScoutI've camped on Valcour all my life since I was 7. It was amazing. So beautiful. Now it's covered in cockroaches and the water is murky and everything is covered in Zebra muscles. Other campers are rude and have no respect for your property. Has been all Canadians from my experience. They let their pets on the island to defecate and we've had one let their two large dogs swim ashore from their yacht and urinate on all our tents and destroyed our campsite and stole our food off from the picnic table all while the owners watched and laughed it off from their boat. The dogs then swam back and boarded the boat and they left. It's not like it used to be. We were yelling at them the whole time, trying to get the dogs away from our campsite and the owners didn't even apologize. One of the dogs defecated on my son's clothing that has fallen off the line.
ScoutGreat area, pleasant staff, very clean. Brewery and vineyards close by
ScoutBeautiful campsite in Smugglers Notch State Park. Central to everything in Stowe and minutes away from the resort. Really nice campsite with great staff. The only complaint is mosquitos were rampant in standing water near our site. Bring bug spray. Would definitely visit again!
ScoutWill is a wonderful host and owner of this hidden gem. We happened upon it when we were looking for a new place to relax. And relax we did. Twice last year. At the peak of foliage was our last trip last year. I really hesitated to leave a review because selfishly I want it to be OUR SECRET HIDEAWAY”. But my kindness and good angel won out so I am sharing. Imagine the Mountain as your Canvas and the campground as your color palette. Make it what ever you want🥰We will becoming back this year. The only time I TRULY RELAX. I even cook lol.
ScoutThis hidden gem we discovered last season. We loved it so much we camped here twice last year. As you all know if you LOVE camping…the weather doesn’t matter. At Smugglers Notch RV Resort you have the Mountains as your Canvas and the beautiful campground your Palette for color. We love it here. So close to Stowe and a lot to do…and then you come back “home” to relax and do nothing but enjoy the time away from everyday life. Truly the only time I totally relax.
Thank you Will for making our trip wonderful…
