GRAND ISLE STATE PARK CAMPGROUND, NEAR BURLINGTON, VERMONT: GPS 44.6864° N, 73.2944° W

​

There are a lot of things I love about this campground. It is fairly small, with sites big enough for big rigs or private lean to sites right above the lake. Our site was 81 which is a really cool site. It would be a little trickier to back a trailer into it during the busy season, but we were able to use site 82 to make parking easier.

​

The bathrooms were fairly nice, as were the cheap paid showers.

​

The best part for us is that they have a DOG BEACH. Yippee! That's always a plus for us. It's a nice part of the beach down near the boat ramp. The water is clear and the shoreline is rocky not grassy, which I am happy about. The first day we were there (in the middle of October), it was 77 degrees, so we went swimming with Avery. Very fun.

​

If I was tent camping, I'd opt for one of the waterfront lean to sites.

​

There is a small playground for kids.

​

There are some cabins to rent as well that look nice from the outside.

​

Our Verizon was strong enough to stream. We also had TV stations, which is rare for us. AT&T was good. T-Mobile was inadequate.
