Best time to visit Little River State Park
Late June through August is the prime window for RV travel, with warm days, reliable swimming and paddling on the reservoir, and all campground facilities open. Early autumn, especially mid September into early October, brings cooler nights and vibrant foliage along the Green Mountains, making it a favorite shoulder season for RVers. Spring visits can be muddy and black fly season runs from mid May into June. The park typically closes its campgrounds in mid October and does not operate as a winter campground.

How to get to Little River State Park
The park sits just off Route 2 near Waterbury, Vermont, roughly a 30 minute drive from Burlington and about 45 minutes from Montpelier. From Interstate 89 take the Waterbury exit and follow signs west on Little River Road, a paved but narrow road that climbs and curves up to the park entrance, so drivers of longer rigs should take the final miles slowly. There are no tunnels or major mountain passes on the approach, but steep grades on nearby secondary roads toward Stowe and Smugglers Notch are not suitable for RVs and should be avoided. The nearest major airport for fly and rent travelers is Burlington International Airport, about 40 minutes away.
