Camping in Vermont

Come to “The Green Mountain State” to camp in one of Vermont’s 56 state parks. Vermont campers enjoy campsites in the state’s mountains, forests, and lakes—that offer a direct connection to nature. Long Trail offers hiking opportunities. Lake Champlain provides boating and swimming. Historic sites like Bennington Battle Monument and Shelburne Museum are good destinations on rainy days. Pro-tip: Vermont’s foliage is breathtaking in the autumn months.
