Vermont's Best Family-Friendly RV Park Has Spacious Campsites, A Pool, And Scenic Woodlands

Nestled in the heart of New England, Vermont is synonymous with natural beauty and a touch of rural charm. Known for its lush mountain landscapes, pristine lakes, and scenic drives through picturesque valleys and small towns, the state draws visitors year-round — especially during the fall, when the foliage erupts into a display of gold, orange, and red. That said, whether you're a hiking enthusiast or a food fiend hoping to sample some authentic local maple syrup, the state is prepped and ready each season to provide you with endless opportunities to explore and unwind.

For visitors looking to really soak up Vermont's natural splendor, a family-friendly camping and outdoor adventure is the ideal way to soak up the scenery up close. And, when it comes to putting comfort first, there's no better place to set up camp than at Sugar Ridge RV Village & Campground. One of the best luxury RV parks in the country, Sugar Ridge is hidden away from the hustle and bustle in the Northeast Kingdom region of Vermont — and just a 7-mile drive from the historic town of St. Johnsbury, another must-visit Northeastern destination that should be on your bucket list.

A 68-acre oasis, Sugar Ridge is preferred by families for its spacious campsites, modern amenities, and diverse recreational offerings. Featuring 150 RV sites nestled among a beautiful mix of maples and pines — and boasting spectacular views of the Connecticut River Valley and the White Mountains of New Hampshire — the campground caters to various camping preferences. Specifically, guests can choose from full hookup sites — all of which include water, electric, sewer, and cable — to more basic tent sites with optional water and electric connections. In terms of rates, fees start from $41 per night for a no-hookup site, while a 50-amp full hookup site can set you back around $56 a night.

In addition to comfortable accommodations, the campground also offers an impressive array of amenities to help make you and your family's stay a little more enjoyable. With two swimming pools (one of which is heated), an 18-hole mini-golf course, two playgrounds, and a range of volleyball, basketball, and shuffleboard courts, there's no shortage of fun for guests. Alternatively, for a more laid-back afternoon, the on-site fishing pond offers a peaceful spot to kick back and cast a line. Planning on traveling with your pet in the RV? You'll be glad to hear that Sugar Ridge is very welcoming of well-behaved dogs — just make sure you bring their vaccination card along!

For outdoor enthusiasts, Sugar Ridge also serves as the perfect home base to explore some of the Northeast's finest trails. In fact, the campground itself boasts over 3 miles of scenic walking paths, all of which allow you and your family to immerse yourselves in nature without venturing too far from your site. Beyond the campground, the surrounding area is also a paradise for both hikers and mountain bikers alike. For a two-wheeled adventure, the nearby dirt roads and forested trails provide exceptional mountain biking opportunities — most of which feature little-to-no traffic to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride.

As for travelers looking for something a little more ambitious, the popular Lamoille Valley Rail Trail (LVRT) stands out as a regional gem. Stretching along for 93 miles, the LVRT is considered the longest trail in New England, and it crosses the state from St. Johnsbury in the east to St. Albans and Swanton in the west. Plus, considering that the trail snakes right along the campground's perimeter — which makes it even more accessible for guests who want a taste of the outdoors — all you need to do is lace up your boots and go.
