Best time to visit Elmore State Park
Late June through August offers the warmest lake temperatures, full campground operation, and the best swimming and boating conditions. September brings cooler nights, thinner crowds, and early fall foliage that makes the Mount Elmore fire tower hike especially scenic. Shoulder seasons in May and October can be wet and chilly, and the campground is only open seasonally, so RV travelers should confirm opening and closing dates before planning a trip.

How to get to Elmore State Park
Elmore State Park is on Vermont Route 12 in the town of Lake Elmore, roughly 15 minutes from Morrisville and about 45 minutes (30 miles) northeast of Montpelier. Burlington is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes west via I-89 and VT-100, and Burlington International Airport (BTV) is the nearest major airport for fly-and-rent RV travelers. Access roads are paved two-lane state highways with rolling terrain and some hills typical of northern Vermont, so RV drivers should watch for narrow shoulders, low-clearance bridges on side routes, and seasonal frost-heave road damage in spring. Avoid unpaved Class 4 town roads in the surrounding hills, which are unsuitable for larger rigs.
