Each unit includes picnic tables and fire pits for outdoor dining, while communal toilets and indoor showers provide modern conveniences amid the wilderness setting. Little River State Park Campground also offers glamping options along the scenic Waterbury Reservoir, with both standard sites and elevated accommodations featuring waterfront views. "This is a great place for a getaway with views over the lake toward sunrise," noted one visitor.
Waterfront access creates distinctive experiences at these glamping campsites, with Little River's beaches and reservoir providing swimming, fishing, and paddling opportunities. Guests can launch kayaks and canoes directly from the shoreline, with boat rentals available seasonally. The surrounding trail systems showcase Vermont's natural beauty, with historical hiking paths revealing abandoned homesteads and old cemeteries hidden throughout the forests. According to a camper, "There are many beautiful backcountry campsites right on the water only accessible via the water. Great local overnight spot with flat tenting, privies, and picnic tables." Proximity to Stowe and Waterbury allows glampers to explore local attractions, including the Ben & Jerry's factory just 20 minutes away, making these sites ideal basecamps for experiencing Vermont's natural splendor and cultural offerings.
"We fit two camper vans, two tents and put up a 20x20 rain tarp on Site 5. The site was freshly raked when we got there, and the leftover wood was stacked next to the fire pit."
"It was amazing - the site is so secluded, wooded, and had a lot of forest for the kids to explore."
from $19 - $28 / night

from $23 / night
"This campground just outside of Stowe on the way to the drive up and through Smugglers Notch."

GuideCar camped on Sunday of Columbus Day weekend in October. This was their closing weekend and lots of spaces were available. Stayed in tent circle loop and it was almost empty. Great access to lake shore and bike path. Walked back toward marina and town in the evening and ran in the morning the other direction going out to Rock Point. Didn’t use the shower facilities. The bathroom near our loop only had sinks and toilets and was fine.
GuideNice campground near Killington, VT. Water and dump station. Not for big rigs we have a 21 ft TT. Things were tight but doable. One of the few Vermont state campgrounds that is still open. Most close from second Monday in October until Memorial Day.
GuideStayed here to be able to do the bike trail. Was warned to keep the bikes locked up. The sites are very close together. The picnic tables and fire pits(tire rims) are moveable. Our picnic table was in rough shape and broken.
The bathrooms have keypads on them but on our last morning there was a guy in the bathroom with his pants on the floor sitting in a shower chair for a couple of hours. The bathrooms also have spiders all throughout them. The water pressure was high and the showers were hot.
GuideIt’s a nice relatively small campground in a pretty setting. Sites are fairly close, and there’s definitely some longer tempura residents, but it’s well kept and seems like a nice place to stay.
ScoutPeaceful, quiet, relaxing space. Super friendly staff.
ScoutThis was our first trip away from home. The campgrounds are clean with beautiful views.
ScoutWe have stayed here a few times. It’s always clean and quiet. Pool is nice but very family (kid) oriented. Love the trails to the water from both camp loops. Great place to stay with a kayak or paddle board!
TravelerTerrible. Only 1 bar of Verizon. They have WIFI but it’s useless. Plus way too crowded for me. Noisy
ScoutThe cleanest, nicest shower room we’ve ever experienced. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and friendly. The mini golf is decent but gold panning in the Wild Ammonusuc is the tourist draw. The salt water pool is sparkling cleaning. We enjoyed our visit very much and will come again.
Glamping alternatives near Warren, Vermont offer rustic luxury in the Green Mountains at elevations between 750-2,000 feet above sea level.

Winter temperatures can drop below freezing, while summer averages reach the mid-70s.
Hiking nearby trails: Smugglers Notch State Park provides access to Mount Mansfield's extensive trail system with varying difficulty levels. "Right in the middle of great nordic and alpine backcountry skiing and snowshoeing. Silent and starry nights, just make sure you have the gear/experience and a warm sleeping bag," notes a winter visitor to Smugglers Notch State Park Campground.
Water activities on multiple lakes: The Waterbury Reservoir at Little River State Park offers non-motorized boating options and swimming beaches. "Great campground for hanging out and a place to bring your boat. The reservoir is a fun place to explore via kayak and cannoe as well as by motorboat! We tend to hang at the site more than the beaches as the beaches are very small and full of children," shares a camper from Little River State Park Campground.
Mountain biking accessible trails: Many glamping sites connect to trail networks suitable for various skill levels. A visitor to Ricker Pond State Park Campground reports, "We had our trail bikes so took advantage of the Montpelier-Wells Rail Trail (Cross Vermont Trail), accessible directly from the campground."
Off-season solitude: Winter and shoulder seasons provide a different glamping experience with fewer crowds. "Stayed at a lean-to site here in March of 2019. Free of charge during off season, you just have to call a couple weeks ahead to reserve and make sure you park in the allotted area," reports one visitor to Smugglers Notch State Park.
Historical explorations: Beyond natural features, the area offers significant historical sites. "There are lots of old foundations hidden on the trails that are fun to discover," mentions a family that visited Mount Philo State Park Campground, which provides "scenic views of Lake Champlain and the mountains of Vt and ny."
Diverse accommodation options: The region offers everything from basic sites to fully-equipped glamping tents. "The sites on the lower loop are closer together. Get a site in the upper loop if you can, but no complaints for not making advance reservations on July 4th weekend," advises a visitor to Gifford Woods State Park Campground.
Reservation timing matters: Popular glamping sites fill quickly during peak seasons. "Book in advance for the best availability!" advises a long-time visitor to Ricker Pond. "I've been visiting Ricker Pond for nearly 20 years (except for the years that I don't book enough in advance and aren't able to secure a spot for my desired length of stay)."
Cell service limitations: Many glamping locations have limited connectivity. "There is absolutely no cell service for miles, so plan accordingly," warns a visitor to Ricker Pond State Park, while another notes that at Rogers Rock, "Cell phone coverage is spotty, I was getting 1-2 bars with Verizon."
Temperature variations: Mountain locations experience significant temperature changes. "Just make sure you have the gear/experience and a warm sleeping bag," advises an off-season visitor to Smugglers Notch, emphasizing the importance of proper preparation even for glamping stays.
Look for dedicated kid-friendly amenities: Some sites offer specific facilities for younger visitors. "Had a great one week stay here on the reservoir. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms in 'B' were just redone," notes a family that stayed at Little River State Park.
Consider activity proximity: Select sites based on age-appropriate activities within walking distance. "The small playground was great, and the small boat launch and beach kept us in the water. The hiking trails are really good--the actually pretty steep," mentions a visitor who brought five children to Button Bay State Park Campground, which is described as "a good campground for families that are not too rowdy."
Plan for weather contingencies: Mountain weather can change rapidly, especially with children in tow. "The staff were wonderful, the sites are pristine and picturesque, the faculties are decorated with wildflowers," notes a visitor to Gifford Woods, highlighting the comfort of well-maintained facilities during variable conditions.
Size limitations at glamping-adjacent sites: Many glamping-friendly parks have restrictions for larger vehicles. "This campground is easy to access, though owing to that one can hear traffic on the nearby road," notes a visitor to Ricker Pond about the trade-off between accessibility and noise.
Hookup availability varies: Research utilities before booking glamping or RV sites. At Smugglers Notch State Park, visitors note it's "more of a primitive set up" despite being convenient to attractions, while Button Bay offers a "dump station" but "no hookups."
