Best RV Parks & Resorts near Wilmington, VT
Several RV parks surround Wilmington, Vermont, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Molly Stark State Park Campground, located directly in Wilmington, accommodates smaller RVs with water hookups and a sanitary dump station but lacks electric connections. For full hookup sites, Dorset RV Park (open May through October) provides big-rig friendly spaces with 50-amp service about 30 miles north. Camping On The Battenkill in Arlington features 111 sites with both 30 and 50-amp electric options, water, and sewer connections, operating from late April through mid-October. Kampfires in Dummerston offers similar full-hookup amenities with big-rig access. One RV camper noted, "We stayed at site T16 at Molly Stark. It's a pull-through RV site with a fire ring & picnic table. We boondocked - there's a spot up top where you can fill your fresh water tank."
Navigation to some mountain campgrounds requires careful planning due to steep terrain and narrow access roads. Vermont state parks typically operate seasonally from Memorial Day through Columbus Day weekend, with no electric hookups available at most state-operated facilities. Dump stations are provided at most RV parks, though availability varies by location. Cell service can be limited in mountainous areas, particularly around state parks. Pet policies are generally accommodating, with most RV sites allowing dogs with standard restrictions. Reservations are strongly recommended during peak foliage season (September-October) when campgrounds fill quickly. Many private RV parks close by mid-October, leaving few winter camping options in the region. Campers requiring level sites should contact parks directly, as one reviewer mentioned, "Our site was level but some definitely were not" when describing their experience at Dorset RV Park.
