Beginner Camping in Vermont

Vermont is a kind place to learn camping because many state parks are smaller, wooded, and centered on lakes, rivers, and lean-to sites.

Expect cool nights, bring rain layers, and choose a park with showers or lean-tos if you want a little more structure on your first trip.
