1 2019 VERMONT RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS RECOMMENDED BY THE NRVOA

2 Vermont Vermont is a state that is best enjoyed outdoors. Although it is the only New England state without a seashore, its border with Lake Champlain more than compensates. The largest city, Burlington, affords magnificent views of the water, and has many sporting and recreation areas. Vermont is the USA's third-largest ski state, with 16 alpine resorts and just under 30 for cross-country skiing. Cruise down country lanes to picturesque villages, with white-steepled churches, covered bridges and hillsides ablaze with brilliant colors in the autumn. In the spring, sugar maples are tapped for their famous maple syrup, second to none. Notable Attractions Ethan Allen Homestead and Museum Lake Champlain Chocolotes Lake Champlain Cruises and Ferries Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory Battery Park Vermont Ski Museum The Shelburne Museum Lake Champlain Islands...And Much More!
