Best time to visit Kingsland Bay State Park
Late June through August offers the warmest lake temperatures for swimming and the most reliable weather for boating and picnicking. Early September is a strong shoulder option, with lighter crowds, cooler nights comfortable for nearby campgrounds, and the start of fall color in the Champlain Valley. May and October can be scenic but chilly, and some facilities scale back or close outside the main season. Weekends in July and August are busiest, so weekday visits are easier for RVers arriving from nearby parks.

How to get to Kingsland Bay State Park
Kingsland Bay State Park is located in Ferrisburgh, Vermont, about a 30 minute drive south of Burlington and roughly 15 minutes north of Vergennes via US Route 7 and Little Chicago Road. From Montreal it is about a 2 hour 15 minute drive, and from Albany, New York it is about 2 hours 45 minutes. Access roads are paved but narrow in places near the park entrance, so larger RVs should take the final approach slowly and watch for tight turns and low branches.
