Smugglers' Notch State Park Campground

I have camped at Smugglers’ Notch state park a few times and I enjoy it each time. The lean to campsites are my favorite setup but I have also stayed at the tent sights. The campsites are clean and well maintained as well as the facilities. The campground is located in the beautiful mountains with waterfalls within walking distance, and an easy drive into Stowe Vermont. My stay here has always been peaceful and regenerative being surrounded by natural forests and people respecting the quiet hours. It’s important to be careful with your food storage and keeping food locked in your car when not in use because there are active bears. I have never encountered a bear here, but we have had chipmunks steal some berries while we were cooking breakfast.

Beautiful campground with friendly staff. The bathrooms are clean and regularly maintained. There's only one shower for each restroom, and they are quarter operated (maximum amount of time is 10 minutes for $1.25). Firewood is fairly priced. The tent sites are a walk away from where you park your car, about 40ft away for our site. I loved coming here, and I'd definitely visit again!

Wow, what a gorgeous campground! Clean, beautiful, spacious/private camp sites with fire pits all ready for a 🔥. Totally spotless restrooms with great showers (yes, please!!). The wonderful, kind, & helpful park rangers & employees made our time there even better (a huge thank you to Susan! You are sooo awesome and deserve a big, fat raise!) 😀 We enjoyed every moment (even with a few heavy rain storms). We plan to return soon & often. 5 stars is not enough! Recommended? Obviously, YES!! Thank you!!! Julie & Robert

As i came from montreal, It doesn’t feel worthwhile to spend an hour driving just 20 km to get there. The travel time outweighs the experience, especially considering other closer alternatives that provide a similar experience. I would recommend finding a more accessible option if time is a concern.

We only spent one night, but what a beautiful and laid back place! Will definitely come back! Bingham Falls is a short walk down the street, then a hike down the trail to the falls. Gorgeous spot!
