Best time to visit Allis State Park
Late June through August offers the most reliable warm, dry weather and full campground services, with average highs in the 70s F and cool nights at elevation. September into early October is prime for fall foliage in central Vermont, when crowds thin and color along Route 65 and surrounding hills peaks. Shoulder periods in late May and mid-October can bring frost overnight, so RVers should be prepared for freezing temperatures and limited services. The park is closed in winter.

Things to do at Allis State Park
- Climb the Bear Hill Fire Tower EasyRV parking available
The historic stone fire observation tower at the summit of Bear Mountain is the park's signature attraction. A short trail from the day-use area leads to the tower, which offers panoramic views of the Green Mountains and, on clear days, New Hampshire's White Mountains.
- Hike the park's nature trails EasyRV parking available
Allis State Park has a small network of short, signed trails through northern hardwood forest. Loops typically run under two miles and are suitable for casual day hikers and families staying at the campground.
- Picnic at the CCC pavilionRV parking available
A historic stone-and-log picnic pavilion built in the Civilian Conservation Corps era anchors the day-use area. Tables, grills, and open lawn make it a popular base for family gatherings and lunch stops.
- Photograph fall foliage EasyRV parking available
Central Vermont's hills surrounding Brookfield turn brilliant red, orange, and gold in late September and early October. The fire tower viewpoint is one of the area's underrated foliage lookouts.
- Visit the Brookfield Floating Bridge Easy
A short drive from the park, the Brookfield Floating Bridge crosses Sunset Lake and is one of the few floating bridges in the United States. It is a quick scenic detour for RVers staying at Allis.
- Stargazing from the ridge EasyRV parking available
The park's elevation and rural setting away from major towns make for dark skies on clear nights. Open lawn near the day-use area provides unobstructed views for casual stargazing from camp.
- Wildlife and bird watching EasyRV parking available
The mixed forest at Allis supports white-tailed deer, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, and a variety of songbirds. Quiet morning walks along the campground roads and short trails are productive for sightings.

How to get to Allis State Park
Allis State Park sits off Vermont Route 65 in Brookfield, roughly 20 miles south of Montpelier and about 30 miles north of White River Junction, each about a 30 to 40 minute drive. From Interstate 89, take Exit 4 (Randolph) and follow Route 66 east, then Route 14 and Route 65 to the park entrance, a route that includes a steep, narrow gravel section on Bear Mountain Road that can be challenging for larger Class A motorhomes and long fifth wheels. There are no commercial tunnels or weight-restricted bridges on the main approach, but mountain grades and tight curves on the final climb call for low gears and careful trailer braking. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Burlington International Airport, about 60 miles northwest.
