"Beautiful campground in south central Vermont. On a lovely emerald green small lake with nice beach. Good for fishing and kayaking. Well kept."
"The camp sites are quite a bit of a walk up the hill from the lake where there is swimming, kayaking, paddle boating and picnicking."
"Golf cart rentals (4 and 6 person) were expensive so we just walked the park multiple days. Each site is gigantic and well thought out and can easily say there is not a bad site in the place."
"The park is very large so if you want to be near the pool/entertainment area or nearby bathrooms, pick your site accordingly."
$45 - $57 / night
"Our first time in Vermont and we picked an awesome campground. This place has a great layout with lots of great sites to choose from.
There are several sites right on the river!
Clean bath houses."
"Site 16 had a path to the river and was slightly tucked away. Sites 13 and 14 were cool spots too, I’d imagine in the summer you may have less privacy because it’s near the swimming area."
"The roads and campsites are gravel and a little tight to get around because of all the trees but we were able to manage in our 45’ motorhome."
"The location was very good in allowing us to visit family in nearby village and go into nearby Manchester Center. Much more of an RV Park (name is on the money) than camping where we had our site."
"We rented a golf cart from an outside course which was SUPER expensive, so it would be nice if the campground offered their own rentals, but if that's our only complaint, we're happy campers."
"**Lake George RV Park may be the greatest campground we’ve stayed at yet!"
$45 - $65 / night
"Lake St. Catherine state campground is located in the heart of the Slate Valley. There are 50 tent/rv sites and 11 leantos. This lake is known by anglers and boaters alike."
$30 - $60 / night
"Great facilities/location."
"They even have flower beds sprinkled around that are well manicured. The campground host is awesome. And they charge $10 for firewood for the length of your stay. Not by the bundle."
$24 - $143 / night
"This campground is close to the highway between Albany and the Adirondacks. There’s a nice big lake and the Hudson RIver. Many campsites are near the lake."
"Moreau Lake has (in my opinion) superb facilities as far as state run campsites go."
$22 / night
"I am so thankful that l live close to the Adirondack park- where there are so many places to camp within this huge park."
"Close to Lake George. Went on the trolley to the village. New adventure."
ScoutWe have been camping at lean-to sites here for almost 20 years. The views from the prime sites are breathtaking. The bathrooms are updated and have been well maintained.Although there is no swimming in the campground, the state park a few miles away is included with the park pass and has a nice lake beach, although no dogs are allowed.
ScoutStayed in cabin #84 for 2 nights. Dirty cabin. Worst part was the description which was “sleeps 4.” Queen bed also in description. Not a Queen bed, but rather, full. Only sheets for the bed were provided. Very small and uncomfortable futon plus an air mattress were the other choices for 2 sleepers. But, no bedding? You’re kidding…how does this sleep 4 if you don’t provide bedding? Towels were very thin. All in all, definitely NOT worth $300 per night. The same rate as a canon with 2 actual beds. I would not stay here again.
TravelerAbout a month ago, with a major haze of FOMO from missing the SNHU tour opener shows, I decided I would just send it and started plotting the trip up from Boston with my 16-year-old brother in tow for the Phish SPAC run. I did a deep dive on this place as all I could find on the internet were many mixed reviews. I am a hardcore planner and this trip forced and allowed me to chill out about that as I had to detach from that mindset and literally surrender to the flow. With little to find online about what the actual inside of the campground looks like and some negative reviews I was skeptical but reassured by some of the good ones and after talking to a friend that has been before. I booked online and communication was efficient and I was able to pay on the portal ahead of time and provide my vehicle information to make check-in smoother. I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about Lee’s after spending my weekend there, the park staff was so awesome, the vibes were great, there was parking along the dirt pathed roads that ran through the park, and a band called The Reality Check Experiment even played pre and post-show sets on the park’s stage and even a little shakedown too. My only two qualms were purely trivial as the phone service specifically at night was difficult (but if you’re with your people you really don’t need your phone at all) and the first shuttle left at 5PM each night, so if you’re looking to hit the lot and have some time to take it slow there or get in to the venue real early, I’d recommend carpooling with a group or taking an Uber and taking the shuttle back. This place rocks so hard, it was a total extension of the shows and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I hope you ignore all the poor, outdated reviews from people that don’t know how to camp and whose problems with the park were just user error and freaking send it like I did too.
ScoutIf you're lucky enough to get the last spot on the road it's epic. Note that fills quickly on a weekend. But don't worry there is primitive camping starting about a mile down fire road 10... You don't even have to go to fire road 30. If you're looking for the ideal spot to stay a few days make sure you show in daylight so you can explore for that. But ours was a night stop on a trip so showing up in the dark and waking up in the forest was a little magical.
ScoutAmazing place off the beaten path but still an easy drive to SPAC. We had a nice secluded site for our van. Off grid but with good sun for solar. Matt, the host, is so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. There’s a very clean porto potty by the tent area and great hot showers with good water pressure up the hill which was a real treat. I’ll take this over a crowded corporate place 100% of the time.
ScoutCame down the canal on a canoe trip and the owners were very helpful and generous with getting us sorted. Great facilities/location.
GuideWilgus state park has amazing campsites, very friendly staff, and great access to the Connecticut River. This campground was beautiful and very quiet even though it was full. Campsites are all large and flat, lean to’s also have ample space for tents and the cabin sites are perfect. The only downside is there is 1 main bathroom so if you are at either end it can be a bit of a walk.
We loved walking the trail behind the campsites along the river to the beautiful vista views with a group with young kids, rented kayaks and fished from the boat launch. There is a great local pond for swimming that had dive docks, diving boards and lifeguards on duty that was less than 10 minutes away.
GuideThe campground has beautiful facilities, larger sites, and beautiful views from their lookout. They even have flower beds sprinkled around that are well manicured. The campground host is awesome. And they charge $10 for firewood for the length of your stay. Not by the bundle.
TravelerGreat place to stop for the night. Not a lot of ambiance, but plenty of room for any number of rigs.
