This State Park is a few miles north of Stowe, VT on Mountain Road (Vermont 108)
Stayed here back in late June (car camping) and WOW is this a must do on a motorcycle tour!!! The park is relatively new, built in 2003; moved from another location to this site. It boasts 9 drive in sites, 11 walk ins and 14 lean-to sites. The camp sites sites are all top notch, roomy, level, compacted gravel pad, picnic table and fire ring. Electricity is NOT available at any site, There's a central bathroom and shower facility which is VERY clean and VERY nice. Be cautious of the paved road down through the park to the Park Office, I swear it's 10% or 12% grade.
Other than the camp ground volunteer's RV, you won't see another RV here at all, maybe a pop up but NOT an RV. I'm not a big fan of moto camping next to the RV crowd. The whole area is densely wooded with limited visibility to the other sites.
Not sure if it was fluke or if it's a mountain altitude thing, but there was hardly ANY bugs fly, crawling or biting. That's big plus.:)
Had no problem getting a site during the week but it fills up fast on the weekends; VERY popular with the hiking and bicycle crowd.
The asphalts in the area was nice, scenic sweepers but not technical twisties. enjoy the scenery type of riding rather than enjoy the road. The scenery up there is stunning and this State Park is nestled literally smack in the middle of it.
