Camping near Orleans, Vermont
Orleans sits in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, a rural corner of Orleans County within short driving distance of Lake Willoughby, Crystal Lake, and Willoughby State Forest. Willoughby State Forest itself does not have a developed campground, so RV travelers rely on private campgrounds scattered around the surrounding lakes and villages.
RV renters using Orleans as a base typically choose between private family campgrounds close to the lake and quieter wooded parks a few miles inland. Belview Campground and Tree Corners Family Campground serve as full-service options for larger rigs, while Will-O-Wood Campground and White Caps Campground sit closer to Lake Willoughby. Barrewood Campground rounds out the local choices for travelers wanting a smaller, quieter setting.
The Northeast Kingdom is one of Vermont's most rural regions, and Lake Willoughby anchors many of its attractions, from cliff hiking on Mount Pisgah and Mount Hor to the Kingdom Trails mountain biking network in nearby East Burke. Cell service is limited across much of the area, so trip planning ahead of arrival is worthwhile.
Things to do around Orleans
Lake Willoughby anchors most itineraries. Public beaches at the north and south ends of the lake give campers access to swimming and paddling, and White Caps Campground offers kayak, paddleboard, and canoe rentals at the south end.
Hikers can climb Mount Pisgah and Mount Hor for cliff-top views over the lake. The Kingdom Trails network in East Burke, about 20 minutes south, is a nationally recognized mountain biking destination with a large system of interconnected trails.
Families staying at Tree Corners Family Campground have on-site heated saltwater pools, a splash pad, and waterslides. Nearby stops include Sentinel Rock State Park, the Bread and Puppet Museum in Glover, the Museum of Everyday Life, and local farm stands, cheesemakers, and maple sugarhouses scattered across the county.

Most private campgrounds in the Orleans area operate on a short season tied to Vermont's warm months. Tree Corners Family Campground runs from mid-May through mid-October, and neighboring private parks follow a similar window. Peak demand runs from late June through Labor Day, with a second surge for fall foliage in late September and early October.
Nights stay cool even in July, so RV renters should pack layers. July is typically the wettest month, with afternoon thunderstorms common. Black flies emerge in mid to late May and can be intense into early summer.
Winter is long and snowy. Snow in Newport usually begins in November and lingers into April, and the area averages around 102 inches of snowfall per year. Vermont State Parks allow off-season camping from November 1 through April 15, but RVs and motorized vehicles are not permitted inside state parks during the off-season, so winter use is limited to walk-in tent or ski-in camping.
How to book
Private campgrounds handle their own reservations. The only way to secure a site at Tree Corners Family Campground is to call the office, and the calendar fills up quickly. Cancellations are posted on the campground's Facebook page on a first-come, first-served basis, so checking regularly can turn up last-minute openings. Belview, Will-O-Wood, White Caps, and Barrewood each set their own reservation windows and deposit rules, so contact them directly well ahead of summer weekends and foliage season.
For Vermont State Parks in the surrounding region, there are three ways to book: through the online reservation website, by calling the Reservation Call Center at 1-888-409-7579 Monday through Friday, or by calling the park directly during the operating season. Camping reservations open daily on a rolling 11-month window at 9 a.m.
What to expect on the ground
The Northeast Kingdom is genuinely rural. Villages in the area typically have only a few restaurants, a country store, and a gas station, so it pays to stock the RV before arriving. Gas stations are available in nearby Barton, Orleans, and West Burke.
Hookups vary by park. Tree Corners offers 30- and 50-amp service with full-hookup sites, but campers should expect no cell service on the property, and WiFi is available for an additional fee. Vermont State Park campgrounds have no electric, water, or sewer hookups for RVs, though most have dump stations.
Bring bug spray for black flies in late spring and early summer. Vermont prohibits bringing untreated firewood into state parks from outside the state; firewood must be packaged, labeled, and heat-treated, with a label showing USDA or state agriculture department certification.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Orleans, VT
How much does an RV rental in Orleans, VT typically cost?
RV rental in Orleans is one of the more affordable ways to experience Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. On RVezy, you'll typically see travel trailers from about $100 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes from $175 to $295 per night, and larger Class A rigs from $250 to $425 per night, with final pricing depending on the rig's age, amenities, and season. Because Orleans is a small rural village, prices tend to run a bit lower than Burlington or Stowe. To save on a cheap RV rental in Orleans, book midweek, travel in late May or early September outside peak foliage, and look for hosts offering weekly discounts. Foliage weekends in late September and early October book out fast, so lock in early.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Orleans%2C%20VermontDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Orleans, VT?
Great news for first-timers: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Orleans, VT. Vermont does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special RV endorsement for the motorhomes and trailers available on RVezy, including Class A, Class C, and travel trailers. You just need to be 25 or older with a valid driver's license, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the booking flow, so there's no extra paperwork at pickup. Visiting from Quebec or overseas? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit if your license isn't in English. Then it's just you, the Green Mountains, and the open road.
dmv.vermont.gov/licensesWhat protection and roadside assistance comes with my Orleans RV rental?
You're covered from the moment you hit the road. Every RV rental in Orleans booked on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so if you get a flat on Route 5 or need a jump start near Crystal Lake State Park, help is one phone call away. RVezy offers multiple protection plan tiers (Basic, Standard, and Premium) that you select during checkout, with each level providing different coverage limits for physical damage to the RV. Roadside assistance is included with every protection plan, covering services like towing, tire changes, jump starts, and lockouts so you can focus on exploring the Northeast Kingdom with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Orleans RV trip?
Booking an RV rental in Orleans is low-risk thanks to RVezy's standardized cancellation policy, which is set by RVezy and applies to every booking. After you book, there is a grace period during which you can cancel for a full refund of the booking total. After the grace period, the refund amount depends on how far in advance you cancel relative to your trip start date. RVezy also has provisions for extenuating circumstances such as severe weather or natural disasters, which is helpful in a region that occasionally sees early-season snowstorms. You can review the full cancellation policy on the RVezy Help Center before you confirm payment.
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 Orleans, VT?
Absolutely, your pup is welcome on the adventure. Many hosts offer pet-friendly RV rental Orleans options, and you can filter listings by Pet-Friendly to see only those RVs. Just confirm any pet fee or size limit when you message the host. Once you're here, dog-loving spots abound: leashed dogs can hike Mount Pisgah's South Trail above Lake Willoughby, walk the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, or splash along the Willoughby River. Note that Crystal Lake State Park in nearby Barton does not allow pets, but Brighton State Park in Island Pond does. Bring a tie-out, fresh water, and a towel for muddy paws after Northeast Kingdom adventures.
fpr.vermont.gov/recreation/petsCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Orleans?
Yes, RV delivery Orleans is one of the easiest ways to start your trip stress-free, especially if it's your first time renting an RV. Many RVezy hosts in the Orleans and Newport area will drive the RV to a campground like Belview Campground in Barton, White Caps Campground in Newport, or even your private property, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees are usually based on mileage from the host's location. Use the Delivery filter when searching listings, then message the host with your destination to get a quote. You arrive, they hand you the keys, and you're camping.
vermontvacation.com/places-to-visit/vermont-regions/northeast-kingdom/How far can I drive, and what are popular road trips from Orleans?
You've got plenty of road to roam. Most RVezy hosts in Orleans offer a daily mileage allowance (often 100 to 150 miles per day) with the option to buy extra miles upfront, and some list RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for a longer Orleans VT RV trip. Popular routes include Lake Willoughby (about 10 miles east), Jay Peak Resort (about 30 miles west), Burke Mountain and Kingdom Trails in East Burke (about 35 miles south), Stowe (about 70 miles southwest), and Burlington on Lake Champlain (about 95 miles west). Doing a full RV road trip from Orleans down I-91 to White Mountains, New Hampshire is also a stunner. Confirm the mileage policy on the listing before booking.
vtrans.vermont.gov/Where are the best campgrounds near Orleans, VT?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping near Orleans. Crystal Lake State Park in Barton sits on a glacial lake with a long sandy beach just a few miles from downtown Orleans (note: no RV hookups, but a great location). Belview Campground in Barton is a classic family park with full hookups. White Caps Campground on Lake Willoughby offers stunning cliffside lake views about 10 miles east. Char-Bo Campgrounds in Derby and Will-O-Wood Campground on Lake Willoughby round out the local favorites. For Vermont State Parks, book up to 11 months ahead through vtstateparks.com; private campgrounds typically open reservations in early spring.
vtstateparks.com/crystal.htmlWhen is the best time of year to rent an RV in Orleans, VT?
The sweet spot for an Orleans VT RV trip runs from late May through mid-October. Summer (late June through August) brings warm days in the 75 to 82 degree Fahrenheit range and cool nights around 55, ideal for swimming at Crystal Lake. Late September through the first week of October is legendary foliage season, when Northeast Kingdom maples blaze red and gold (book months ahead). May is quiet and green but can be muddy, and early spring is also black fly season. Winter rentals are possible for snowmobilers and Jay Peak skiers if the host lists a four-season rig with heated tanks. Local insider tip: the trout jumping the Willoughby Falls in late April is a uniquely Orleans springtime spectacle.
weather.gov/btv/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in Orleans?
You'll do great, and Orleans is a fantastic place for first time renting an RV. Roads are quiet, traffic is light, and there's no big-city congestion to navigate. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water systems, slide-outs, generator, and dumping, so you leave knowing your rig. Your host is also a direct phone call away during your trip. Start small with a campervan rental in Orleans or a Class C if you're nervous about size, and consider delivery so you skip driving altogether for the first night. A short practice loop on Route 5 between Orleans and Barton is flat, scenic, and great for getting comfortable behind the wheel.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if something breaks down during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so if you have a flat tire, dead battery, lockout, or mechanical issue anywhere from Orleans to the Canadian border, one phone call gets help dispatched. Your host is also a direct contact for questions about the specific RV, like how the awning retracts or how to reset the generator. Orleans has practical local resources nearby, with auto and tire shops in Barton and Newport just a short drive north. RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after every trip, so issues get resolved fast and you stay focused on enjoying the Northeast Kingdom.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Orleans RV rental across the border into Canada?
Cross-border travel is often possible from Orleans, which sits about 20 miles south of the Quebec border at Derby Line. Many RVezy hosts allow trips into Canada (Montreal is roughly a 2 hour drive and Quebec City about 3.5 hours), but you must get written approval from the host before booking and confirm that insurance coverage extends across the border. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. Bring your passport, vehicle registration, and a written cross-border authorization letter from the host. The Haskell Free Library in Derby Line literally sits on the international border and is a quirky must-see stop on the way back into the United States.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on an Orleans RV trip?
Fuel is easy to plan for. Class B campervans average 18 to 22 miles per gallon (mpg), Class C motorhomes around 10 to 14 mpg, and Class A rigs around 7 to 10 mpg. Gas prices in Vermont typically run a bit above the national average, so check current rates in Orleans, Barton, and Newport before you set out. For a 4-day Northeast Kingdom loop covering roughly 250 miles, expect to spend $80 to $180 on fuel depending on rig size. There's a Maplefields station in Orleans on Main Street that fits larger rigs, plus stations in Barton and Newport. Tip: fill up before heading deep into rural areas where stations are 20+ miles apart.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Orleans?
Booking ahead is the single best move for a smooth trip. Vermont State Parks like Crystal Lake and Brighton open reservations 11 months in advance on a rolling daily basis through vtstateparks.com or by calling 1-888-409-7579. For July, August, and foliage weekends, popular sites get snapped up the morning they open. Private campgrounds like Belview, White Caps, and Char-Bo typically open spring bookings in March or April. If you're flexible, midweek and Sunday-Thursday stays are far easier to grab. Local insider tip: Will-O-Wood on Lake Willoughby books out almost a year ahead for prime July weekends, so set a calendar reminder if that's your dream spot.
vtstateparks.com/reservationsWhat are the local driving conditions like around Orleans?
Driving in Orleans is refreshingly easy compared to most destinations. Interstate 91 runs right past town with light traffic year-round, and the local two-lane routes (5, 14, 16, and 58) are scenic and well-maintained. A few things to know: dirt roads are common once you leave the main routes, so avoid them in a large Class A after heavy rain (mud season is roughly mid-March through April). Watch for moose at dawn and dusk on Route 105 toward Island Pond. Winters bring snow and ice, so most rentals operate May through October. Steep grades around Lake Willoughby and Mount Pisgah are manageable, just shift to a lower gear on the descents.
vtrans.vermont.gov/highwayWhat hookups, dump stations, and water fill points should I expect near Orleans?
You'll have what you need within a short drive. Private campgrounds around Orleans like Belview Campground in Barton, Char-Bo Campgrounds in Derby, and Will-O-Wood on Lake Willoughby offer full hookups (water, 30/50 amp electric, and sewer) plus on-site dump stations. Vermont State Parks (Crystal Lake, Brighton) have no RV hookups but do provide dump stations and potable water fill points for a small fee. Newport, about 10 miles north, has additional dump access at Prouty Beach Campground. Pro tip: top off fresh water and dump tanks before heading deep into the Kingdom, where services thin out, and never bring out-of-state firewood, Vermont prohibits it to protect the forests.
vtstateparks.com/campingWhat features and amenities come standard in Orleans RV rentals?
You'll feel right at home. Most RVs available for rent in Orleans on RVezy come fully equipped: a queen or king bed, bunks or convertible dinette, full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control (furnace and air conditioning), and a dining/living area with seatbelted seats for travel. Many include a generator, outdoor awning, propane grill hookup, and basic kitchenware. WiFi and TV vary, and cell service in the Northeast Kingdom can be spotty, so download maps and entertainment ahead of time. Check the listing's amenities list and message your host about specifics like number of seatbelts (important for a family RV trip in Orleans) before booking.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Orleans%2C%20VermontWhat add-ons and pickup options are available with Orleans RV rentals?
Hosts make it easy to customize. Common add-ons when you rent an RV in Orleans include kitchen and linen kits, camp chairs and tables, bike racks, generators, propane refills, fishing gear, and pet packages, with fees set by each host on the listing. Pickup is usually at the host's location in or near Orleans, typically with a 30 to 60 minute orientation walkthrough. Mileage policies vary by listing: many hosts include a set number of free miles per day with extras charged per mile, while others offer RV rental with unlimited mileage packages. Use Instant Book to lock in popular rigs fast, and message the host to confirm an early pickup if you want to maximize your first day exploring Lake Willoughby.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Orleans%2C%20VermontHow does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental Vermont booking?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay through RVezy with a credit card at the time of booking, so there's no cash changing hands with the host. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment before pickup and released after your trip once the host confirms the RV came back in good shape, with tanks handled per the agreement and within the mileage allowance. To avoid issues, take time-stamped photos at pickup and drop-off, follow the host's instructions on dumping and generator hours, and return the rig clean for easy peace of mind on your RV rental Vermont adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs winter RV camping in Orleans even possible?
It is, and it's an underrated adventure. While most Orleans RV rentals operate May through October, a handful of RVezy hosts list four-season rigs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and propane furnaces suitable for winter use, perfect if you're hitting Jay Peak Resort (30 minutes away) or snowmobiling the VAST trail network that runs right through Orleans County. Expect daytime temperatures from 15 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit, with nights well below zero. You'll typically need shore power at a winterized campground or private host site, since most state parks close their RV sites by mid-October. Message hosts directly and filter for winter-ready listings. Bring tank heaters, RV antifreeze, and warm bedding, and you're set for a magical Kingdom winter.
