Camping in Vermont
40 places to stay, each with its nearest town and where our information comes from.
The road through Smugglers' Notch, above Jeffersonville, squeezes between boulders and cliffs in a series of tight switchbacks, so narrow that big rigs are warned off and it closes completely in winter. Park, climb onto the rocks and you'll see why people come anyway. Brewster River has a campground at the bottom.
The Green Mountain National Forest has quiet Forest Service campgrounds at Chittenden Brook near Rochester and Moosalamoo near East Middlebury, with Lake Dunmore close by. Along Lake Champlain, Swanton and D.A.R. State Park look across the water to New York. Come in late September or early October for the leaves, and book early.

A listing is a lead, not a promise. These are places we know about, not places we have confirmed you can sleep tonight. Rules, closures, seasons and fees change, and forest roads and passes close for snow. Check signs and local rules before you commit to a night somewhere, and tell us when something is wrong.
