Camping

Four people play in a campsite with a tent, kayak, picnic table, and camp fire on a warm day.

Camp Out

The friendly crackle and smoky aroma of a campfire joins the calming song of loons on the lake to complement the otherwise quiet woods. Sleeping under a night sky pierced with stars, the taste of a roasted s’more, and the camaraderie that comes with evenings spent together beyond four walls combine to create the sense of wonder a camping trip offers.

Winter Camping

A winter camping trip offers the opportunity to see another side of Vermont’s beautiful outdoors. Make your home in the snow and bed down for the night amid the silence and serenity of the season. 39 of Vermont’s 55 state parks offer off-season camping, including during the winter. Access is free, though the maximum stay permitted is three nights.
