Campgrounds near Hinesburg, Vermont
Hinesburg sits in Chittenden County in northwestern Vermont, roughly 20 minutes southeast of Burlington and a short drive inland from Lake Champlain. The town works well as a base for RV renters because it puts the Champlain Valley, the Green Mountains, and Burlington within easy reach without the traffic and site scarcity of a lakefront town.
Most campgrounds in the area are clustered along Route 7 between Charlotte, Shelburne, and Colchester, and along the shoreline of Malletts Bay. Nearby options include Mt Philo State Park in Charlotte, Shelburne Camping Area in Shelburne, and Lone Pine Campsites and Malletts Bay Campground in Colchester. South toward Vergennes, Rivers Edge Cottages and RV Park sits along Otter Creek.
Hookup availability varies. Private parks such as Shelburne Camping Area, Lone Pine Campsites, and Malletts Bay Campground offer full or partial RV hookups, while state park sites are more rustic. Renters bringing larger rigs should confirm site length and road access before booking, especially at Mt Philo, where the steep, narrow access road is not recommended for trailers or larger RVs.
Things to do near Hinesburg
Lake Champlain is the main draw. Boat launches, beaches, and marinas ring Malletts Bay in Colchester, and the lake supports swimming, fishing, kayaking, and sailing. The Island Line and Burlington Bike Path connect waterfront neighborhoods and, in Colchester, cross the lake on a former rail causeway.
Hiking is close at hand. Mt Philo State Park has a short summit trail and a summit road with wide views over the Champlain Valley and the Adirondacks, and the park is known for autumn raptor migration watching. The Green Mountains east of Hinesburg offer longer routes, including access to Camel's Hump.
For family stops, Shelburne Museum, Shelburne Farms, and the Vermont Teddy Bear factory are all within a short drive of the town, and downtown Burlington's Church Street Marketplace adds shopping and restaurants.

The main camping season in the Champlain Valley runs from May through mid-October. Most private RV parks open in the spring and close by late October or early November when overnight temperatures drop and water systems are winterized. Lone Pine Campsites runs roughly May 1 to mid-October, while Shelburne Camping Area operates a longer season, opening in early April and staying open into November.
Summer is peak. July and August fill quickly at private parks with hookups, and holiday weekends book out well ahead. Weekday stays are easier to secure than Friday and Saturday arrivals. State park sites at Mt Philo are very limited and book early, since the campground has only ten sites total, seven tent sites and three lean-tos.
Fall foliage in late September and early October brings a second surge in demand, particularly at parks close to Burlington and Shelburne. Winter camping options in the area are minimal, and most facilities are closed.
How to book a campsite
Vermont State Parks, including Mt Philo State Park, take reservations through the official Vermont State Parks system. Sites can be booked up to 11 months in advance on a rolling basis, either online or through the Reservation Call Center. Reservations made more than seven days before arrival require a two-night minimum, while one-night stays are allowed within seven days of arrival, subject to some exceptions.
Private campgrounds handle their own bookings. Shelburne Camping Area reserves through Campspot and by phone. Lone Pine Campsites, Malletts Bay Campground, and Rivers Edge Cottages and RV Park take bookings directly through their websites or by phone.
For summer weekends and foliage season, book several months out and confirm site length, hookup type, and slide-out clearance before arrival. Ask about pet policies at booking, since most local parks allow leashed dogs, and Shelburne Camping Area requires proof of rabies vaccination on arrival.
What to expect
Sites near Hinesburg range from small, wooded state park loops to larger private parks with pull-throughs and full hookups. Shelburne Camping Area offers full electrical, sewer, water, and cable hookups on a mix of gravel and grass sites, with a camp store, laundry, dump station, and a swimming pool. Lone Pine Campsites is a larger family park with two pools, mini golf, planned activities, and a range of hookup options across roughly 265 sites. Malletts Bay Campground offers RV sites within easy reach of the bay.
Mt Philo State Park is different. The campground has only ten sites, seven tent and three lean-tos, and the steep, narrow park road is not recommended for trailers or larger RVs. Renters with big rigs should choose a Champlain Valley private park and day-trip to Mt Philo.
Cell coverage is reliable in the Route 7 corridor and around Burlington, thinner in wooded areas east of town.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Hinesburg, VT
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Hinesburg, VT?
RV rental in Hinesburg is more affordable than most travelers expect, especially compared to hotels around Burlington and the Champlain Valley. On RVezy, travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, while Class C motorhomes generally range from $175 to $275 per night. You will save the most by booking shoulder-season trips in late May, early June, or mid-September, when fall foliage is just starting and nightly rates dip. For a cheap RV rental Hinesburg families love, filter by travel trailers with delivery included to skip the campground tow fees. Pro tip: book at least eight weeks ahead of peak leaf-peeping weekends in early October, when Vermont tourism surges.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hinesburg,VermontDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Hinesburg?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Hinesburg, Vermont. There is no special RV endorsement or Commercial Driver's License (CDL) required for any motorhome or trailer you will find on RVezy, whether you book a nimble campervan or a 32-foot Class C. You do need to be at least 25 years old, and RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during booking, so the process is quick and secure. Visiting from outside the United States? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country auto association before flying into Burlington International Airport (BTV), just 20 minutes north of Hinesburg, and you are ready to roll.
dmv.vermont.gov/licensesWhat protection is included with my Hinesburg RV rental?
Every RVezy booking in Hinesburg automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered from the moment you drive off. The protection plan covers most physical damage to the RV during your trip, which means you can explore Vermont's back roads from Hinesburg toward the Green Mountains without worry. During checkout you choose the coverage level that fits your comfort zone, with lower deductibles on higher tiers. This is not traditional auto insurance, but it delivers real financial peace of mind. Pro tip: pick your protection level based on how adventurous your route is, mountain routes warrant the upgrade.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Hinesburg RV trip?
Booking your RV rental in Hinesburg is low-risk because RVezy, not individual hosts, sets one consistent cancellation policy for every reservation on the platform. There is a money-back grace period right after booking, and additional refund options depend on factors like how far out your trip is. If a host cancels, RVezy refunds the guest or provides travel credit, so you are protected either way. The exact cancellation terms tied to your dates are shown at checkout and detailed in the RVezy Help Center, where support is available before, during, and after every booking.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Hinesburg?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental Hinesburg options are easy to find on RVezy, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when you search. Many local hosts welcome dogs, and some even leave bowls, towels, or tie-outs for your pup. Vermont is one of the most dog-loving states in the country, and your four-legged co-pilot will thank you. Take them to Mt. Philo State Park in nearby Charlotte, where leashed dogs can climb the short summit road for sweeping Lake Champlain views, or hit the trails at LaPlatte River Marsh Natural Area right in Hinesburg. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and ask about their favorite local dog-friendly hikes.
fpr.vermont.gov/state-parks/park-rulesCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Hinesburg?
Yes, RV delivery Hinesburg is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it is a game changer for first-time renters. Many local hosts will tow the trailer or drive the motorhome straight to your campsite at Lake Champlain area parks, set it up, level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. That means zero driving stress for you, perfect if you are flying into Burlington International Airport about 25 minutes away. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see who offers it and how far they will travel. Pro tip: ask about delivery to Mt. Philo State Park or Button Bay State Park for a turnkey Vermont escape.
vtstateparks.com/How does mileage work, and how far can I drive on a Hinesburg RV trip?
Hosts in Hinesburg, VT set their own mileage policies, and many offer generous daily allowances or even RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal because Vermont rewards wandering. From Hinesburg you are only about 20 miles south of Burlington, 45 miles to Stowe, 90 miles to Montpelier and back via scenic Route 100, and roughly 160 miles north to the Canadian border at Highgate Springs. Each listing clearly shows the included miles per night and the per-mile fee for overages, so you can budget with zero guesswork. Pro tip: if you plan a loop through the Northeast Kingdom or down to Killington, filter for unlimited-mileage listings to keep your Vermont RV trip stress-free.
vtrans.vermont.gov/highwayWhere are the best campgrounds near Hinesburg, VT?
You have fantastic options for RV camping Hinesburg within a 30-minute drive. Mt. Philo State Park in Charlotte is a local favorite, small, quiet, and famous for its hilltop views over Lake Champlain. Button Bay State Park in Ferrisburgh offers waterfront sites and a pool just 20 miles southwest. Lake Champlain's Apple Island Resort in South Hero has full hookups, a marina, and golf. Lone Pine Campsites in Colchester is family-friendly with a pool and mini-golf, about 25 minutes north. For a quieter pick, try Shelburne Camping Area, just 15 minutes away. Pro tip: book Vermont State Parks online up to 11 months in advance, especially for July, August, and fall foliage weekends, which sell out fast.
vtstateparks.com/reservations.htmlWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Hinesburg?
The sweet spot for an RV road trip from Hinesburg runs from late May through mid-October, with three distinct flavors. Late spring (mid-May to June) brings highs in the 60s to low 70s and waterfalls roaring with snowmelt. Summer (July and August) is peak season with warm 75 to 85 degree days, perfect for Lake Champlain swimming. Fall foliage from late September through mid-October is legendary, when the Green Mountains explode in color and overnight temperatures dip into the 40s. Winter rentals are available too for ski trips to nearby Sugarbush or Bolton Valley if the RV has a four-season package. Pro tip: book your foliage trip by July, leaf-peepers from across the country snap up the calendar fast.
weather.gov/btv/I am first time renting an RV, will I know what to do?
You are going to be just fine, first time renting an RV in Hinesburg is one of the most beginner-friendly experiences on RVezy. Your host provides a full walkthrough at pickup, showing you how to operate the water pump, propane, slide-outs, awning, leveling, and dump valves. They will answer every question and most happily share their phone number for the duration of the trip in case anything comes up. RVezy's 24/7 roadside assistance and support team have your back too. For your first Vermont outing, choose a flat, easy destination like Button Bay State Park in Ferrisburgh, about 25 miles away, so you can settle in before tackling mountain routes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360003555513-Renting-an-RVWhat happens if something goes wrong on the road in Vermont?
You are never alone out there. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Route 116, a dead battery at Mt. Philo, or a tow off Interstate 89 is just one phone call away. The roadside team coordinates the service, whether you are minutes from Hinesburg or deep in the Northeast Kingdom. RVezy customer support is also available before, during, and after your trip through the Help Center. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number to your phone before pickup and screenshot your booking confirmation, cell service can get spotty in valleys around the Green Mountains.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037980854-Roadside-assistance-coverageCan I take my Hinesburg RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, your motorhome rental Hinesburg is built for road-tripping across the Northeast. Most hosts welcome trips throughout the US, so you can easily head to New Hampshire's White Mountains (about 2 hours east), Maine's Acadia National Park (roughly 5.5 hours), or the Adirondacks just across Lake Champlain by ferry. Cross-border travel into Canada (Montreal is about 95 miles north via I-89) may be allowed depending on the host and insurance setup, so message the host directly from the listing before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Pro tip: bring your passport, the Highgate Springs border crossing is the smoothest from Hinesburg.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat is the fuel budget for a typical RV trip from Hinesburg?
Fuel is one of the easier parts to plan for. Campervans and small Class B rentals typically get 18 to 22 mpg, Class C motorhomes average 8 to 12 mpg, and larger Class A rigs land around 6 to 10 mpg. Vermont gas prices generally run a bit above the national average, often hovering around $3.30 to $3.70 per gallon depending on the season. For a 4-day, 400-mile loop from Hinesburg through Stowe, Montpelier, and Middlebury in a Class C, budget roughly $130 to $180 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up at the larger stations in South Burlington or Williston on Route 2 before heading into the mountains, prices climb noticeably in small villages.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Hinesburg?
Booking early is the secret to a smooth Vermont RV trip. Vermont State Parks, including Mt. Philo, Button Bay, Kill Kare, and Grand Isle, open reservations 11 months in advance through the official vtstateparks.com system, and prime summer weekends and the entire foliage window from late September to mid-October fill up within days of opening. Private campgrounds like Apple Island Resort and Lone Pine Campsites also book up months ahead for July and August. For midweek summer stays or shoulder-season trips, you can often snag sites just a few weeks out. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder for exactly 11 months before your desired arrival date and book the moment reservations go live at 9 a.m. Eastern.
vtstateparks.com/reservations.htmlWhat are driving conditions like around Hinesburg and the Green Mountains?
Driving around Hinesburg is refreshingly relaxed, the town sits on rolling rural Route 116 with light traffic and gorgeous farm views. You will want to plan ahead for two things: mountain grades and weather. Routes like VT-108 through Smugglers' Notch are closed to RVs and trailers year-round because of the tight switchbacks and boulders, so use Route 100 or I-89 to reach Stowe instead. In winter and early spring, watch for frost heaves on secondary roads and check VTrans 511 for real-time conditions. Dirt roads are common in the area, fine for most RVs in dry weather but slick when wet. Pro tip: download the Vermont 511 app before pickup for live road closures and webcams.
511vt.com/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Hinesburg?
Campgrounds near Hinesburg range from rustic state parks to full-hookup private resorts, so you can pick the experience that fits your RV. Vermont State Parks like Mt. Philo and Button Bay offer water spigots, restrooms with hot showers, and a sanitary dump station on site, but no individual electric or sewer hookups, so you will run off your RV's battery and freshwater tank. Private parks like Apple Island Resort in South Hero and Lone Pine Campsites in Colchester deliver 30/50-amp electric, water, sewer, Wi-Fi, and even pools. Need to dump and refill between stops? The Williston I-89 rest area and several local truck stops offer dump access. Pro tip: top off fresh water before leaving Hinesburg if you are heading to a state park.
fpr.vermont.gov/state-parks/things-do/campingWhat is included inside a typical RVezy rental in Hinesburg?
You will be impressed by how turnkey these RVs are. Most Hinesburg-area listings come with real beds (queens, bunks, or convertible dinettes), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and basic cookware, an indoor bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control, and seatbelted seating for travel. Many include a TV, and a growing number offer Wi-Fi hotspots, solar packages, or onboard generators, great for boondocking near Camel's Hump or dry-camping at Mt. Philo. Linens, towels, and kitchen kits are often available as add-ons or included free, just check the listing's amenity list. Pro tip: message the host to confirm the sleeps-count and seatbelt-count match your group, both are listed clearly on every RVezy listing.
rvezy.com/What add-ons and pickup options can I expect when I rent an RV in Hinesburg?
Hinesburg hosts make customizing your trip easy with optional add-ons like bedding and towel packages, kitchen kits, camp chairs, outdoor grills, bike racks, generators, and even kayaks or paddleboards, perfect for a Lake Champlain launch from Shelburne Bay. Delivery and setup is often available within a 30 to 60 mile radius for a per-mile fee, covering popular drop spots like Burlington, Shelburne, and Middlebury. Pickup is typically straightforward at the host's driveway with a full walkthrough included. Mileage policies are listed transparently on each page, with many offering 100 to 150 free miles per night. Pro tip: bundle delivery with a generator add-on if you are heading to an unhooked Vermont state park site.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hinesburg,VermontHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and fully handled through the secure RVezy platform, no cash and no off-platform transfers. You pay with a credit or debit card at booking, and the security deposit is pre-authorized (held, not charged) on your card a few days before your trip, then released after the host confirms the RV came back in good shape. Deposit amounts vary by RV class but typically range from $500 to $1,500. To avoid issues, take date-stamped photos and a quick video of the RV at pickup and dropoff, return it with the same fuel and propane levels, and dump the tanks if your host requires it. Pro tip: keep gas station receipts from your last fill-up near Hinesburg as proof.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhere can I park an RV overnight in Vermont outside of campgrounds?
Vermont keeps things simple: overnight camping is not allowed at state rest areas, park-and-rides, or on public highway right-of-ways under state law, though you can pull over briefly to sleep off fatigue inside your vehicle. The good news is you have great alternatives near Hinesburg. Many Harvest Hosts farms, wineries, and breweries across the Champlain Valley welcome self-contained RVs for a free overnight in exchange for a small purchase, think Shelburne Vineyard or local Vermont cideries. Walmart in Williston has historically allowed overnight RV parking with manager permission. Pro tip: for true Vermont character, plan your nights around real campgrounds or Harvest Hosts stops, then save rest areas just for quick driving breaks.
