Campgrounds near St. Johnsbury, Vermont
St. Johnsbury sits at the confluence of three rivers in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, with Interstates 91 and 93 meeting nearby. That road access makes it a practical base for RV travelers exploring the region and the White Mountain National Forest just across the New Hampshire line.
Private RV parks cluster within a short drive of town. Moose River Campground on Portland Street offers 49 full-hookup sites along the river and caters to adults with self-contained rigs; the operator notes there are no bathrooms or showers on site. Sugar Ridge RV Village and Campground in Danville is a larger family park with around 150 sites on 68 acres, two pools, and an 18-hole mini-golf course. Kingdom Campground in Lyndonville and Breezy Meadows Campground in Concord provide additional full-service options, and Crazy Horse Campground rounds out the private choices nearby.
Vermont State Parks in the surrounding area, including several units in the Groton State Forest cluster, add public campgrounds with tent, RV, lean-to, and cabin sites for travelers wanting a woodsier stay.
Things to do near St. Johnsbury
St. Johnsbury itself is walkable and compact. The Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium, the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum library and art gallery, and Dog Mountain with its chapel and sculpture garden are the town's signature stops. Maple Grove Farms runs factory tours covering syrup and maple candy production.
Outdoors, the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail runs directly behind Sugar Ridge RV Village and Campground and offers long, flat miles for biking and walking. Kingdom Trails in East Burke draws mountain bikers from across the Northeast, and the Passumpsic and Moose rivers provide fishing and paddling. Groton State Forest, Lake Willoughby, and the White Mountains are all within an hour's drive, opening up hiking, swimming, and scenic drives for day trips from any of the local campgrounds.

The private campgrounds around St. Johnsbury run a short season tied to Vermont's warm months. Sugar Ridge RV Village and Campground publishes an operating window from roughly early May to mid-October, and other area private parks follow a similar summer-into-fall pattern. Vermont State Parks generally operate from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, with some staying open until the second Monday in October.
July and August are the reliable core of the season, with warm days, active on-site programming at the family parks, and full access to pools and organized activities. Late September into early October is peak foliage in the Northeast Kingdom, and campgrounds that stay open through Columbus Day book out well in advance for those weekends.
From November through April, most private RV parks and state park campgrounds are closed. Vermont State Parks allow limited primitive off-season camping from November 1 through March 31, but those sites are hike-in only and are not accessible to RVs or vehicles.
Booking a campsite near St. Johnsbury
For private parks, book directly with each operator by phone or website. Sugar Ridge RV Village and Campground uses an online reservation platform, and Moose River Campground and Kingdom Campground both handle bookings by phone or through their websites. Foliage-season weekends fill first, so lock in dates months ahead.
Vermont State Parks use a single statewide reservation system. Sites can be booked up to 11 months in advance on a rolling daily basis, with new dates opening every morning at 9 a.m. Same-day reservations are accepted online, by phone, or at the park until 2 p.m. Cancellations made at least 10 days before arrival receive a full refund minus the reservation fee.
What to expect
Sites near St. Johnsbury range from tight, adult-oriented river parks to sprawling family resorts. Moose River Campground is quiet, pet-friendly, and geared to self-contained RVs, with weekend activities, free coffee in the office, and no bathhouse or children's facilities on site. Sugar Ridge sits on 68 acres of maple and pine with organized activities, two pools, an 18-hole mini-golf course, and direct access to the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. Kingdom Campground offers spacious full-hookup sites.
Expect hills, tree cover, and gravel or grass pads rather than asphalt. Cell service is generally decent along the I-91 and I-93 corridors but drops off in the surrounding hills. Vermont restricts firewood brought in from out of state unless it is heat-treated and labeled, so plan to buy locally on arrival.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near St. Johnsbury, VT
How much does it cost to rent an RV in St. Johnsbury?
RV rental in St. Johnsbury is one of the most affordable ways to experience Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. On RVezy, you'll typically find travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes between $175 and $275, and larger Class A rigs from $250 to $400. Hosts often price competitively because demand spikes during fall foliage and slows in shoulder seasons. To find a cheap RV rental in St. Johnsbury, book mid-week stays in late June or early September, look for trailers (cheaper than motorhomes), and filter by Instant Book to spot last-minute deals. Local tip: prices can climb during peak foliage weekends in early October, so lock in early if leaf-peeping is your goal.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=St.%20Johnsbury%2C%20VermontWhat kind of driver's license do I need to rent an RV in St. Johnsbury?
Great news for first-timers: Vermont does not require any special license to drive an RV. A regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in St. Johnsbury, including Class A, B, and C motorhomes that fall under 26,000 lbs Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), which covers virtually every RV on RVezy. You must be 25 or older to book on RVezy, and we verify your ID securely through the platform during checkout. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home-country license along with an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto association. Once that's sorted, you're ready to roll through the Green Mountains.
dmv.vermont.gov/tags/motorhomeIs my RV rental protected if something goes wrong on my trip?
Yes. Every RV rental in St. Johnsbury booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the Northeast Kingdom Byway feeling fully supported. During checkout, you choose the level of protection that fits your trip (not the host), and the plan covers most damage to the vehicle, giving you peace of mind. While it isn't traditional auto insurance, it provides meaningful financial protection bundled right into your booking. Pro tip: do a thorough walkaround with your host at pickup and snap photos. That way, if a tree branch on a backroad near Burke Mountain leaves a scratch, you're covered with zero stress.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my St. Johnsbury RV booking?
Booking is low-risk. RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy, and every reservation includes a money-back grace period right after you book, so you can lock in your dates with confidence. The refund amount after that depends on factors like how far out from your trip you cancel and whether anything extraordinary (like a major Vermont snowstorm) is involved. Our 24/7 support team is here to walk you through it if plans change. Pro tip: secure your favorite motorhome rental in St. Johnsbury early, especially for foliage season when listings book months in advance. You can always adjust later within the policy window.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV trip in the Northeast Kingdom?
Yes, and St. Johnsbury is one of the most dog-friendly RV destinations around. Filter for pet-friendly RV rental in St. Johnsbury on RVezy and you'll find plenty of hosts who welcome furry co-pilots (some charge a small pet fee, listed on the page). The big draw locally is Dog Mountain, a 150-acre off-leash sanctuary just east of downtown with trails, ponds, and the famous Dog Chapel built by artist Stephen Huneck. Moose River Campground in St. Johnsbury is also pet-friendly with riverside sites. Pro tip: bring a leash for campground time. Vermont State Parks allow dogs but require them to be leashed and under control at all times.
vtstateparks.com/pets.htmlCan the RV be delivered to my campground or rental house?
Yes, RV delivery in St. Johnsbury is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game-changer if you've never driven a big rig. Many local hosts will tow or drive the RV directly to your chosen campground (think Moose River Campground, Sugar Ridge RV Resort in Danville, or a Groton State Forest site), level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees are typically based on distance and shown on the listing page. Filter by Delivery on RVezy to see eligible rigs. This is the smoothest way to do a Vermont RV trip if you'd rather hike Burke Mountain than back into a tight site.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=St.%20Johnsbury%2C%20VermontHow far can I drive on a typical St. Johnsbury RV rental?
Plenty far to make every Northeast Kingdom dream happen. Most hosts include between 100 and 150 free miles per night, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage (filter for it on RVezy). Extra miles usually run $0.30 to $0.50 each. To put that in perspective: Burlington is about 76 miles away, Stowe about 55 miles, the White Mountains in NH around 50 miles, and Montreal roughly 150 miles north. A typical 4-night loop through the Kingdom Byway, Stowe, and back uses around 250 to 350 miles. Pro tip: message the host before booking if you're planning a longer RV road trip from St. Johnsbury, many will bump up the mileage allowance for a small flat fee.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=St.%20Johnsbury%2C%20VermontWhere are the best campgrounds near St. Johnsbury for an RV trip?
You're spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near St. Johnsbury include Moose River Campground (riverside full-hookup sites just east of downtown), Sugar Ridge RV Resort & Campground in nearby Danville (family-friendly with pools and mini-golf), and Pine Hollow Campground in Barton. For a state park experience, Ricker Pond and Stillwater State Park in Groton State Forest offer tent/RV sites along beautiful lakes about 30 minutes south. Pro tip: Vermont State Parks open reservations up to 11 months in advance, so book waterfront sites the moment your dates open. Most parks operate from late May through Columbus Day weekend.
vtstateparks.com/groton.htmlWhen is the best time to visit St. Johnsbury in an RV?
Late June through mid-October is RV camping in St. Johnsbury prime time, and each window has its own magic. Summer (late June to August) brings warm days averaging in the mid-70s to low-80s Fahrenheit, perfect for swimming at Joe's Pond and paddling Kettle Pond. September is the local insider's secret: cool nights, fewer crowds, and the first hints of color. Late September through the first week of October is peak fall foliage, when the Northeast Kingdom Byway becomes one of the most photographed routes in America. Most campgrounds and Vermont State Parks close after Columbus Day weekend, so plan accordingly. Pro tip: book foliage-season RVs by July, this region fills up fast once leaf-peepers start planning.
weather.gov/btv/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in St. Johnsbury?
You'll be just fine, first time renting an RV here is genuinely easy. St. Johnsbury sits at the calm intersection of I-91 and I-93 with wide lanes, easy on-ramps, and very little congestion compared to most of the Northeast. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, covering driving tips, leveling, hookups, the generator, and dumping. They're also reachable by phone or message during your trip. If parallel parking a motorhome sounds stressful, choose delivery, the host brings it to your campground and you never have to back up. Pro tip: start with a smaller Class C or campervan rental in St. Johnsbury for your first trip. Easier to drive, easier to park, same Vermont views.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=St.%20Johnsbury%2C%20VermontWhat if I have a breakdown or problem during my trip?
Help is always a phone call away. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, covering things like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. You'll also have your host's direct number (they know the rig better than anyone) and RVezy's customer support team in your corner. St. Johnsbury is a great hub for this with full-service mechanics, propane fills, and hardware stores right in town, plus larger services in Littleton, NH just east. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number and your host's contact in your phone before you leave. If anything pops up between Burke Mountain and Lake Willoughby, you'll have help on the way quickly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my RV across the border into Canada from St. Johnsbury?
Often yes. Since St. Johnsbury is about 45 minutes from the Canadian border at Derby Line, a Quebec road trip is a popular add-on. Cross-border travel into Canada is allowed on many RVezy rentals, but it depends on the specific host and insurance coverage, so message the host directly from the listing before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. For Canada, you'll need a passport (or enhanced license) for everyone in the RV and to declare any food, plants, alcohol, and firearms at the border. Pro tip: Montreal is roughly 150 miles north and makes an unforgettable two-night detour on a Northeast Kingdom RV trip.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat should I budget for fuel on a St. Johnsbury RV trip?
Easier to plan than you'd think. Class C motorhomes around St. Johnsbury average 8 to 10 miles per gallon, Class B campervans get 15 to 20 mpg, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle (typically 10 to 14 mpg combined). Vermont gas prices generally track slightly above the national average. For a 4-night trip covering 300 miles in a Class C, budget roughly $130 to $180 in fuel. Pro tip: top off in St. Johnsbury or Lyndonville before heading deep into the Kingdom, gas stations get sparse around Lake Willoughby and Island Pond, and rural Vermont prices can climb. The Irving station on Memorial Drive is a popular RV-friendly fill-up stop.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near St. Johnsbury?
For peace of mind, book early, but don't panic if you're a late planner. Vermont State Parks (including Ricker Pond, Stillwater, and Big Deer in Groton State Forest) open reservations up to 11 months in advance through the official Vermont State Parks reservation system. Waterfront sites for summer weekends and any foliage-season weekend sell out fast, sometimes within hours. Private campgrounds like Moose River and Sugar Ridge typically book 2 to 4 months out for peak dates. Pro tip: for spontaneous trips, weekday arrivals (Sunday through Thursday) almost always have openings. The Northeast Kingdom has more elbow room than southern Vermont.
vtstateparks.com/reservations.htmlWhat are the driving conditions like around St. Johnsbury?
Honestly, St. Johnsbury is one of the easiest places in New England to drive an RV. The town sits at the crossroads of two interstates (I-91 and I-93) plus US-2 and US-5, with wide shoulders and gentle grades compared to the White Mountains next door. Watch for two things: frost heaves in spring (April and May) that can buckle pavement on backroads, and moose crossings at dawn and dusk, especially on Route 114 toward Island Pond. Winter brings real snow from December to March, so most RV rentals here operate May through October. Pro tip: avoid narrow dirt roads (marked Class 4) on GPS shortcuts. Stick to numbered routes in a big rig and you'll cruise stress-free.
vtrans.vermont.gov/highwayWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near St. Johnsbury?
You'll have everything you need for a comfortable Vermont RV stay. Private campgrounds like Moose River and Sugar Ridge offer full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50 amp electric), Wi-Fi, laundry, hot showers, and dump stations. Vermont State Parks in Groton State Forest (Ricker Pond, Stillwater, New Discovery) provide tent/RV sites with drinking water, restrooms with hot coin-operated showers, and a central dump station, but no individual hookups, so plan to use your RV's onboard tanks. Free dump stations are also available at most parks for registered campers. Pro tip: top off your fresh water tank before leaving St. Johnsbury, the Irving station on Route 5 has potable water access, and your tanks will easily last 3 to 4 days at a no-hookup site.
vtstateparks.com/campingWhat equipment and features come with the RV?
Pretty much everything you need to live comfortably on the road. Most St. Johnsbury RV rentals on RVezy come fully equipped: a real bed (often a queen plus convertible dinette), full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, heat and air conditioning, a dining area, and seatbelts for every passenger. Many include a generator, propane, outdoor awning, TV, and even Wi-Fi or cellular boosters (handy in the spotty-signal Kingdom). Linens, kitchen kits, camp chairs, and outdoor rugs are common add-ons listed on each page. Pro tip: a family RV trip St. Johnsbury works best in a Class C that sleeps 6, you'll have bunk beds for kids plus a private master bed in the back.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/rvsHow do pickup, drop-off, and add-ons work?
It's straightforward and friendly. Pickup and drop-off times are set by the host on each listing (typically late morning for pickup and mid-morning for drop-off), and you'll meet at the host's location or arrange delivery to your campground. The walkthrough usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, plenty of time to learn the rig. Popular add-ons in St. Johnsbury include bike racks (perfect for the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail or Kingdom Trails in East Burke), kayaks for Joe's Pond, generators, propane fire pits, and pet kits. Add-on fees and mileage policies show right on the listing. Pro tip: message your host a week ahead to confirm what's included so the only thing you carry on pickup day is your duffel and a smile.
fhwa.dot.gov/byways/byways/2080How does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
It's secure and predictable. When you book your RV rental in St. Johnsbury, you pay through RVezy's secure platform (credit card or other accepted methods) and never hand cash to the host. A refundable security deposit is authorized separately from your booking payment, the amount is shown clearly on the listing, typically a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the rig. As long as the RV comes back in the same condition it left (no major damage, tanks dumped if required, fuel topped off), the deposit is released after drop-off. Pro tip: take date-stamped photos at pickup and drop-off. It's the fastest way to ensure a smooth, full deposit return after your Northeast Kingdom adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat are the best road trips I can take from St. Johnsbury?
You're sitting on a gold mine of routes. Popular RV road trip from St. Johnsbury options include: the Northeast Kingdom Byway loop through Lyndon, East Burke (Kingdom Trails mountain biking), and Newport on Lake Memphremagog; Stowe and Ben & Jerry's via Route 2 (about 55 miles, around 1 hour 15 minutes); New Hampshire's White Mountains and the Kancamagus Highway (about 50 miles to Lincoln); Burlington and Lake Champlain (76 miles, around 1.5 hours); and Acadia National Park in Maine (a stunning multi-hour drive east). Pro tip: the Connecticut River Byway south along Route 5 toward Bradford and Norwich is the quietest, most underrated foliage drive in Vermont. Bring a real camera, your phone won't do it justice.
