Several RV campgrounds in the region restrict tent camping entirely, focusing exclusively on motorhome and travel trailer accommodation. Many campgrounds require reservations, particularly during fall foliage season when availability becomes limited. Most parks maintain dump stations and trash collection, though availability of other amenities varies significantly. Winter camping options are limited, with most parks closing between October and May. Cell service can be inconsistent in mountainous areas, especially for Verizon customers. Between Burlington and the Canadian border, RV travelers find varying site conditions—some parks feature tight spacing between units while others provide more generous lots. Pets are permitted at many, but not all facilities, with Alburg RV Resort notably prohibiting pets according to campground data.

ScoutFirst trip with our new RV and we were a little nervous about getting everything set up. Having full hookups made it way less complicated than we expected. Once we were settled, we just enjoyed the area and took a few day trips. Would definatly come back for another Adirondack trip.
ScoutWe came up for a quick Adirondack getaway and ended up spending most of our time outside. A little disc golf, some time by the pool, dinner at the site and plenty of walks with the dog. Pretty much everything we wanted out of the trip.
ScoutOne of the best parts for us was not having to pack up the RV every time we wanted to go somewhere. We stayed put and explored the Adirondacks from here. Lake Champlain, Ausable Chasm and a bunch of other spots were all easy to get to.
ScoutHaving the river and Adirondacks nearby made for a really nice change of scenery. We spent our days exploring and came back to the campground for dinner and a fire.
GuideMost sites are secluded. There is a creepy old cemetery in walking distance. Nice showers on site !!
GuideWe had the upper sites all drive in or small camper. And or Tent. Amazing rolling brook beautiful sites we had site 32. The lower ones are rv. The owner gave us free wood as it was end of season. We were there Oct 10 I’m not sure but think they close the 13
ScoutCampground was clean and quiet. We arrived late but information was taped to the window at the office. Will was very helpful also and checked to make sure we arrived.
ScoutWe were looking for somewhere to stay while checking out Ausable Chasm and this worked out really well. Easy drive over, then back to the camper in the afternoon. Made the whole trip alot easier.
ScoutWe only planned on staying a few nights but ended up adding another week. Once we got settled in, it was hard to leave.

Mountain exploration: Visit Smugglers Notch State Park, just a short drive from Smugglers Notch RV Village. "Very close to Smuggs and only a short but beautiful ride to Stowe," notes visitor Alan B., making it an ideal base for exploring both destinations.
Lake recreation: Launch watercraft at the marina across from Apple Island Resort. According to camper Nancy W., "We launched our paddleboard and kayak there but it was pretty mucky getting in and out of our boats. We were allowed to leave our kayak locked on a rack at the marina so we didn't have to take it back to our campsite every day."
Golf outings: Practice your swing at the par-3 course at Apple Island Resort. "My husband enjoyed his time at the golf course," shares Stephanie H., who appreciated having this activity option during their stay.
Spacious sites: Visitors appreciate larger camping spaces at Lone Pine Campsites in Colchester. Jennifer H. raves, "The sites are absolutely the biggest I've ever seen. The kids have a soccer field out in front of us to play in. This is the kind of campground I'd want to come and spend weeks at on vacation."
Recreational facilities: Many campgrounds provide on-site amenities for guests. At Sugar Ridge RV Village, campers enjoy extensive recreation options. "This campground has everything! Horse carriage rides, paved roads, 2 pools, playgrounds, mini golf, fireworks..." according to Jen C.
Seasonal activities: Fall brings special attractions to the region. As Susan & Kevin W. noted about Apple Island Resort, "Visit this campground in the fall and experience quintessential Vermont in all its glory. The campground is nice. The people are friendly."
Seasonal operations: Most RV parks in the area have limited operational dates. At Shelburne Camping Area, one exception remains open year-round, with Alyssa S. noting, "Perfect place to hang out with friends and be outdoors. Love that it's open year round!"
Site layout variations: Campground configurations vary significantly between properties. Susan & Kevin W. advise Apple Island visitors to "Study the sites carefully because our 'premium view site' looked into a boulder. If you squinted and closed one eye you could a piece of the lake out of one sliver of our windshield."
Highway noise: Some campgrounds near major roads experience traffic sounds. At Shelburne Camping Area, reviewer Eli C. observed, "The site is close to the highway which is convenient but it also means you hear the traffic all night."
Activity-rich options: Choose campgrounds with dedicated children's facilities. According to Chris H., Sugar Ridge RV Village offers "a great little store and now they have Vermont Maple soft serve ice cream from my understanding. Kids love to play here and mini golf on site makes it even better."
Playground access: Consider proximity to play areas when selecting your site. One Lone Pine visitor shared, "We had one right next to the playground so our daughter could walk straight to it without having to cross a road. And speaking of playground, it was large and very nice."
Pool facilities: Summer visitors appreciate swimming options. At Iroquois Campground & RV Park, Shelly notes they had "a wonderful weekend they have a beautiful pond and its peaceful environment great for families and camp owners are helpful and polite."
Electrical requirements: Verify power capabilities before booking. A camper at Lone Pine Campsites noted that the park offers "full-service RV camping with 50-amp electrical connections from May to mid-October," matching requirements for larger motorhomes.
Site orientation: Check hookup placement when reserving. At Apple Island Resort, Ron H. points out, "One thing is that their hook ups are on the passenger side. You have to pull straight in with the truck and camper. This is because a lot of class A prefer this way, not sure."
Cell service considerations: Mobile connectivity varies throughout the region. Russ V. reports from Sugar Ridge RV Village, "Decent cell phone signal (Verizon)," though coverage may be less reliable in more mountainous areas.
