Tent Camping near Plainfield, Vermont

Onion River Campground

26 RV Sites, 24 Tent Sites

Onion River Campground in Plainfield, Vermont, offers 26 RV sites and 24 tent sites along the Winooski River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 25 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories at both amperages join walking trails, a community fire pit, and forested grounds. Twenty-six back-in sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 50-amp, and back-in 50-amp water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 25 feet. Two things to plan around carefully: the 25-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern RVs, so this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers rather than coaches, and the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Twenty-four tent sites make this substantially a tent property. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Walking trails, a community fire pit, and the surrounding forest fill the grounds, with swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, biking, and picnicking on and around the river. The dark central Vermont sky makes for excellent stargazing. Pets are welcome. Vermonters called the Winooski the Onion River for the wild leeks along its banks before European settlement, and the name stuck to the campground. Plainfield sits 10 to 15 minutes from Montpelier — the smallest state capital in the country and the only one without a McDonald's — with Goddard College, the Groton State Forest, and the Northeast Kingdom all close. Summer and foliage drive demand. Reserve ahead, and check your rig against the 25-foot limit.

Riverbrook & Baker River RV Resort

53 RV Sites, 23 Tent Sites

Riverbrook and Baker River RV Resort in Rumney, New Hampshire, offers 53 RV sites and 23 tent sites on 1,200 feet of Baker River frontage, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, open year-round. Riverbrook premium full-hookup sites join Baker water-and-electric, compact, and group categories, with a recreation center, craft room, and food trucks. Fifty-three sites span Riverbrook 30/50-amp premium with electric, water, and sewer, Baker compact water-and-electric, Baker water-and-electric, and Baker water-and-electric group categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The property is effectively two campgrounds in one — Riverbrook carries the full hookups, Baker the water-and-electric sites, including a compact tier and a group site for families traveling together. Twenty-three tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, showers, and food trucks handle the practical side. A recreation center, craft room, playground, ping pong, and billiards fill the indoor and grounds side, with the river carrying tubing, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. Hiking runs in every direction, and live music plays through the season. Pets are welcome. Grafton County's western Pemigewasset valley is the gateway to the White Mountains — Franconia Notch, the Kancamagus Highway, and Rumney's world-class rock climbing crags are all close. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the White Mountains. Reserve well ahead for July through mid-October.

15 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

10 Acres Campground in Addison, VT, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites and 5 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. The three categories say what you get: lake view full-hookup sites with water, sewer, and 50/30-amp power; pool side RV sites; and water-and-electric sites. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, and a dump station cover the essentials, and pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, a pavilion, a playground, horseshoes, walking trails, and a pond fill the grounds, with lake access for fishing, boating, swimming, and kayaking, plus planned activities. A restaurant is a mile out and skydiving is two and a half. Addison sits on Lake Champlain — 120 miles of freshwater inland sea studded with islands, the Green Mountains on one shore and the Adirondacks on the other. Shelburne Museum and Lake Placid are both day trips. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Lake view sites are limited and book first.

Ausable Chasm Campground

83 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 35 Tent Sites

Ausable Chasm Campground in Keeseville, New York, offers 83 RV sites, two cabins, and 35 tent sites directly across from the Ausable Chasm entrance, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet behind a gated entrance. Full-hookup categories at both amperages join a water-and-electric tier, with an outdoor pool, disc golf course, and recreation center. Eighty-three sites span 30-amp full hookup, 50-amp full hookup, and water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Two cabins and 35 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, recreation center, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, mountain biking, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Boating, swimming, picnicking, and productive birding round it out. The chasm is the reason to stay here and it justifies the trip. The AuSable River has carved 500-million-year-old Potsdam sandstone into one of the most dramatic geological features in the Northeast, and the entrance is directly across the road. Lake Champlain, Plattsburgh, and the Adirondack High Peaks are all close. Summer is the season on the Adirondack Park's northeastern edge, with foliage drawing a strong September. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Ausable Pines

Ausable Pines in Peru, New York, offers 76 full-hookup RV sites and 14 tent sites on the Adirondack Park's northeastern edge, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. A single standard full-hookup category means every guest gets the same spec, with an outdoor pool, disc golf course, walking trails, and dog park. Seventy-six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 45 feet. Two things to check before booking: service is 30-amp throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management, and RVs are required to be in good condition — generally within a 10-year model range, with older rigs cleared in advance. Fourteen tent sites round out the lodging. Firewood and a dog park handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a disc golf course, walking trails, and river frontage filling the grounds. Fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, biking, and picnicking round it out, with a lake nearby. Pets are welcome. Peru sits in Clinton County where the Ausable River's meandering lower valley meets the Lake Champlain shoreline and the eastern Adirondack foothills. This is the Champlain Valley's western shore — apple country and resort towns rather than High Peaks wilderness, though Whiteface, Lake Placid, and Ausable Chasm are all within a short drive, and Burlington sits across the lake by ferry. Summer is the season in the Adirondacks, with foliage drawing a strong September and early October. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and clear RV approval early if your coach is older.

Ausable River Campsite

60 RV Sites, 13 Tent Sites

Ausable River Campsite in Keeseville, New York, offers 67 full-hookup RV sites and 13 tent sites across 130 acres of mature hardwoods along the Ausable River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Standard and deluxe categories sit in the Adirondack Park, minutes from the Northway and Lake Champlain. Sixty-seven sites run in standard and deluxe full-hookup categories carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. One policy to check before booking: RVs are generally required to be within a 10-year model range, with older units needing prior approval. Thirteen tent sites round out the accommodations. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A beach on the river anchors the recreation, with swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking from the water. A recreation center, sports courts, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a playground, dog park, and picnicking areas fill the 130 wooded acres, with wine tasting nearby. Pets are welcome. The Ausable is one of the Northeast's most celebrated wild trout rivers, and the mature hardwood setting delivers the deep-forest quiet that defines the Adirondacks at their best. Keeseville sits in Clinton County just minutes from the Adirondack Northway and the Lake Champlain shoreline, which serves both I-87 travelers and guests who planned specifically for the river and the mountains. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in the Adirondacks. Reserve well ahead, and confirm RV age approval if your unit is over ten years old.

Jericho Gateway Family Campground

4 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

Jericho Gateway Family Campground in Berlin, New Hampshire, offers four back-in RV sites without hookups and seven tent sites across 300 family-operated acres in the White Mountains, with a big-rig-friendly layout taking rigs up to 100 feet and a dump station on site. This is genuine dry camping at the northern gateway to the White Mountain National Forest. Four back-in sites operate without hookups, and the big-rig-friendly layout accommodates rigs to 100 feet — an unusual combination that suits large self-contained coaches. Seven tent sites cover simpler camping. A dump station serves RV guests, and firewood is available on site. Guests should arrive fully self-contained and plan water and power accordingly. The 300 acres are the amenity. Walking trails run the wooded property for hiking and biking, and the family operation means guests deal directly with the owners. The scale gives a real sense of remove that smaller White Mountain campgrounds cannot match. Pets are welcome. Berlin sits in Coos County on NH-16 at the confluence of the Dead and Androscoggin Rivers, 20 miles south of the Canadian border. The Androscoggin carries fishing and whitewater, the Mahoosuc Range offers some of the most demanding hiking in New England, and Dixville Notch's mountain pass is within reach. This is the edge of the Great North Woods, the largest unbroken forest in the northeastern United States. The campground serves the northern New Hampshire season. Summer hiking and fall foliage are the two peak windows, with foliage in late September and early October drawing heavily across the White Mountains. With four RV sites, reserve as far ahead as you can.

Shady Oaks Camping Resort

12 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site

Shady Oaks Camping Resort in Plattsburgh, NY, offers 12 full-hookup RV sites, 4 tent sites, and 1 glamping site, with 20 and 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and pull-thru 30-amp, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Note the electrical: service is 20 and 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a community fire pit, and recycling cover the rest. Pets are welcome. Horseshoes, corn hole, and picnicking fill the shaded grounds, with the lake and beach a short walk. Plattsburgh sits on the western shore of Lake Champlain in the North Country between the Adirondack foothills and Vermont's Green Mountains. The campground is three quarters of a mile from the City Beach. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Twelve sites near Lake Champlain in a short northern season — reserve well ahead for summer.

Fifty-five back-in sites span full hookup Safari Area 30-amp, riverfront water-and-electric 30-amp, and river view water-and-electric 30-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV, sized to 48 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the riverfront and river view categories carry water and electric but not sewer at the site. Cruiser fifth wheel and Jayco rental units, with and without slide-outs, round out the lodging for guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A beach, lake, pond, and river anchor the recreation, supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. A pavilion, playground, and horseshoes fill the rest, with hiking in every direction and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Carroll County sits in the southern foothills of the White Mountains, where the granite peaks of the Sandwich Range, the Chocorua Lake basin's extraordinary scenery, and White Lake State Park's spring-fed swimming make one of New Hampshire's most photographed corners. North Conway and the Kancamagus are close. Summer and foliage season drive intense demand in the White Mountains. Reserve well ahead for July through mid-October.

A general store, laundry, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side.
