Mount Philo State Park Campground

Quiet, secluded, great view

Sites 1, 6 and 8 and the best if you're only camping with those at your site as they're the most secluded and private. Sites 2 and 3 are more open, to both each other, and to those en route to the bathrooms.

Bathrooms were very clean. Coin-op shower with hot water is 50 cents for 5 minutes, 75 cents for 7:30, etc.

The toilets are composing toilets, but from the user experience, it's very close to a regular toilet in that it's in a stall in a nice, well maintained proper bathroom (unlike some composting toilets in outhouse situations I've used).

There's not much to do at the park itself, other than a nice scenic overlook and some short hiking/walking. But there's plenty to do in the surrounding area: hikes, beaches on Lake Champlain (although dog unfriendly), fiddlehead brewery and a vineyard across the street, and everything in Burlington.
