    Rogers Rock Campground

    Roger's Rock

    It was a pretty good park. Wooded nicely. Big lots where we were. Down near the water the sites were pretty crammed together Not parked in a row like an RV park.

    Lazy Lions Campground

    Nice quiet place

    Nice campground with plenty of shade, well maintained and decent restrooms. The showers are ok and cost a quarter for 4 minutes. Our site was level and along with a picnic table, they also provide two Adirondack chairs (plastic) and a fire ring.

    Quechee State Park Campground

    Good location

    The park is in a good location; it is right next to the road. We were at sight #3.  We were able to walk to the gorge as well as to the Antique mall.  The staff was very friendly and accommodating with us. My wife really enjoyed it and had a lot of fun. The ice cream was really close and really good. 

    The issue I had was the camp next to ours had the generator on all night long and I had a hard time getting back to sleep after going to the bathroom. Next time I will get a volunteer or park ranger to get it turned off.

    Mount Philo State Park Campground

    Hidden gem!

    Great little campground at a beautiful state park. The campground had widely spaced wooded sites and was exceptionally quiet. Very well-maintained! Recommend nearby Charlotte town beach for swimming ($10 for non-residents).

    Happy Hill Maple Farms

    Offseason

    Quiet spot just off the Hwy. you can hear traffic but not many cars out this time of year(August). They had a fire pit and picnic table . No electricity so we used the generator. We the only one here so the noise should not bother anyone. Great pace for fall visits

    Chittenden Brook Campground

    Great site

    This was a great site that feels secluded but isn’t. There’s quite a bit of space between each site so you can’t really see your neighbors which is excellent. The vault toilets were surprisingly clean besides the expected smell/flies. No running water or electricity. No cell service a few miles leading up the site, so download your maps in advance. There’s a 2.5 mile dirt road with a steady incline into the camp, which my subie had no issue with, but not sure how well an RV would fair.

    Didn’t see any bear, but take bear food precautions regardless. Each site has a fire pit, tent platform, and picnic table. The sites were well cared for. There were two dumpsters, one for recycling and one for trash, at the end of the loop. They are bear proof and almost me proof! The constant sound of running water from the brook was truly relaxing. I didn’t have issues with bugs (beginning of August) but I also didn’t stay in the camp during the majority of the day.

    All in all, a great campsite and I’ll definitely be back.

    Brookwood RV Resort

    Nice Campground

    Well maintained campground. Shop onsite with all you can possibly need. Beautiful pool. And easy access to Fort Ticonderoga, restaurants in town and Lake George area.

    Indian Brook Reservoir

    Family of 4 tent camping

    I mistakenly assumed they had drive up campsites. They do not. It was a 15 minute hike to the site, so pack light. If you have a kayak, you can transport your stuff over. Site was gorgeous and private, right on the reservoir. Really lovely setting!

    Shelburne Camping Area

    Oh My God. NO!

    Electricity would not work. We got an error on our control panel that said stop! Power source is not correct! Dan, one of the owners, said that somebody must have tried to hook a 50 amp into the 30 amp. box. He went about a half block to check breaker said that it was not flipped but it was wobbling pretty loose in there.

    My husband is a licensed electrician and of course had his own testing equipment. It showed 25 amp coming out of it. So he said move to spot 50. Well before we moved our vehicle, we went down there and checked it. He took off before we could. And guess what the exact same problem. We did not even hook into the second one. (#50)
    So he proceeded to tell us that it was our equipment that had gone bad. Even though we never plugged into spot 50!

    I had planned on one night thank God! He did refund our $52. we had to drive down the road and try to find someplace else at 7:00 in the evening. Another thank God, the Walmart about 10 or 15 miles down the road would allow overnight.

    So we are now on our way to our next location which is about a 7 hour drive. We are just hoping that they did not damage our equipment. It has been extremely stressful if you go there you better watch out!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the best camping spots near Warren Falls in Vermont?

Just south of Warren Falls, Austin Brook offers a small camping area with 4-5 sites between the Mad River and Route 100. This dispersed camping spot includes grassy and rocky sites, fire rings, and porta-potties with stream access. For a more established experience, Silver Lake Campground is a highly-rated option in the area with fairly private sites that aren't too close together, plus access to a clean lake with a concrete dock. Other options near Warren include dispersed camping along Green Mountain National Forest FR25 and Route 100, which offer more primitive experiences for those seeking solitude in the beautiful Mad River Valley.

When is the best season for camping in Warren, Vermont?

Summer (June through August) is the prime camping season in Warren, Vermont, with warm days perfect for enjoying Warren Falls and other swimming holes. Moosalamoo Campground is an excellent summer option with access to cascading waterfalls, mountain views, and incredible swimming. Early fall (September to mid-October) brings spectacular foliage to the area, making Gifford Woods State Park Campground particularly appealing with its proximity to scenic Route 100. Late spring (mid-May to June) offers fewer crowds and awakening forests, though be prepared for muddy conditions and potentially cool nights. Winter camping is possible for experienced campers, but most established campgrounds close for the season.

What amenities are available at Warren VT campgrounds?

Amenities vary widely across Warren area campgrounds. Mountain View Campground offers a well-stocked camp store, two pools, and car-accessible tent sites right on the water—ideal for families seeking comfort. Meanwhile, Little River State Park Campground provides clean restrooms with hot showers, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. For those seeking a more rustic experience, dispersed camping areas along Route 100 and in Green Mountain National Forest typically offer minimal amenities—perhaps just fire rings and sometimes picnic tables. Some private campgrounds in the region feature electrical hookups for RVs, laundry facilities, and organized activities, while most public campgrounds provide at least basic amenities like potable water and vault toilets.
