    Prouty Beach Campground

    Car camped

    Was lucky to get a tent camping spot due a late cancellation on holiday weekend. Arrived at sunset. Staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful. Site T1 looked out over the lake, had electric and water, and was adjacent to the bathroom. Absolutely no privacy or separation from adjacent tent site but didn’t bother me. Hot shower was 15 ft walk away. Recommend reservations since there’s not many other options in Newport. Columbus Day weekend was their closing weekend and this was Saturday night of that weekend.

    North Beach Campground

    Car camped

    Car 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.

    Gifford Woods State Park Campground

    Gifford woods campground

    Nice 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.

    North Beach Campground

    Great location

    Stayed 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.

    Maple Grove Campground

    Decent campground…

    It’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.

    Fort Dummer State Park Campground

    Nice well kept campground easy off the highway

    i stayed here in my Class B for an overnight for a concert in Brattleboro. What a surprise! you might figure that being so close to the city, and the highway, it would be somewhat abused, but not so. Very clean and well kept. There are a couple short hikes around, one with a limited view. both are easy level, 100+ ascent. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Dump station very clean and easy access. Noise level, you can hear the highway a little, but not alot. i was here on a Friday night in August, and it was maybe 25-33% full. One unique feature is the adirondack shelters. In pristine condition. Noise is not that much different than campground on secondary roads, honestly.  Kudos to Vermont State Parks for their attention.

    Fort Dummer State Park Campground

    Spacious and private; bath house old but clean

    This campground is pretty centrally located with easy access to grocery stores, gas, and the highway. It is down a quiet road far enough that you do not hear any traffic noise. We stayed in one of the lean-to site, Beech. It was spacious, level, and private. The walk to the bath house was a bit hilly, but relatively close. The bath house is older as others have noted, but it is clean. Showers are coin-operated for hot water. And as you'd expect, buggy in July/August. Bring the bug spray!

    Molly Stark State Park Campground

    Beautiful State Campground!

    This is one of the nicest state campgrounds I've ever been in. Typical state campground, they offer no services at this sites. They do have a dump station and potable well water, and trash disposal. Very quiet campground, some road noise during the day but not at night!. Sites around the open field offer good solar and open sky for Starlink.  The staff was great.
