Best RV Parks & Resorts near Rochester, VT
Several RV campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Rochester, Vermont, providing varied hookup options and site sizes. Moosalamoo Campground in the Green Mountain National Forest accommodates RVs with access to hiking trails but offers no electric hookups or water connections. Sites feature gravel pads with picnic tables and fire rings. "For a smaller campground it was everything we wanted; the sites were a good size for our pop up," noted one camper about a nearby location. Branbury State Park Campground provides electric hookups, water connections, and sanitary dump stations for RVs through mid-October, though without showers or restroom facilities. Dorset RV Park, located south of Rochester, offers full hookup sites including 50-amp service, with the season running May through October.
Mountain terrain creates challenges for larger motorhomes at certain campgrounds. Access roads to some parks involve steep grades that may cause clearance issues for longer RVs. A recent review cautioned, "We knew the moment we started going up the hill we wouldn't be getting down unscathed. Our 42 foot fifth wheel hit the road going up it, then severely drugged down the hill." Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with limited connectivity in more remote forest locations. Most RV parks accept pets with proper documentation, though restrictions may apply at certain state facilities. Dump stations are available at select locations, including Branbury State Park, but many smaller campgrounds have no sewer connections. Propane fill service is uncommon at campgrounds in the immediate Rochester area.
