Allis State Park Campground

We loved our stay at this campground. Our site #1 was large and perfect for our 28ft(33ft with hitch) pull behind. Our site had a public water spout right on it which was convenient for filling up our fresh water tank with the help of our water bandit rubber thingy.

The sites are far apart and it is very well maintained. Fire wood $6 at park office. Very quiet and peaceful. There is also a fire tower with an amazing 360 degree view of the nearby mountains. Visit the floating bridge if you have a chance, it’s got a serene view and great spot for fishing.

Heads up! There is a sign for the floating bridge with a 6,000 pound weight limit when you’re approaching the park. We came in at night and panicked a bit when we saw it because we thought we were going to have to back out of the road and find another route. Luckily enough, the park rangers husband passed by and told us the bridge is up a ways and we won’t need to go over it to enter the park. The ranger said it messes people up often.

We would definitely stay again, absolutely perfect stay!

Nice quiet state park. We had site 14 which was large and open with good solar. Other sites were more wooded. Kids enjoyed riding bikes and climbing the fire tower. Black flies were bad at times. Water had some sediment in it early in our stay probably just due to opening weekend and not having been used over the winter. Cell signal came and went some but was mostly 1 bar on both AT&T and Verizon. If you come in through Brookfield there is a floating bridge with a 6000 pound load limit.

The muddy, steep access road made me a little nervous but we were able to get up it no problem. Check in was a breeze. Our site, #2, was close to the front entrance if taking the loop road to the left but we were advised to travel the loop road all the way around. This was a friendly tip as it was much easier to back-in due to the way the site was positioned. This is a small state park with 18 tent/rv sites and 8 lean-to sites. My advice would be to check the description and the photos of the sites before picking one. Each site comes with a fire pit with grill grate, a free standing grill, and a picnic table. I was very happy with #2. It was fairly private. It was very large, providing ample space to spread out and enjoy the beautiful Vermont woods. Like all Vermont state parks, there are no hook-ups but there is a dump station. The dump station is located near the front gate but on the opposite side of most campers/rvs waste valves. We had to go down to the bottom of the access road to turn around and come back up. I am assuming the two rigs in front of us did the same thing. It worked out just fine!
The location is pretty central which made our day trip excursions easy to get to. We stopped in Quechee on the way to see the Gorge, wander around the antique mall, and sample some original Vermont spirits at the distillery. We drove up to Camel's hump state park, a little over an hour, to hike which provides some phenomenal views of the green mountain state from Camel's hump summit. We also made a day trip out to Middlebury to walk around and check out a craft brewery.
The campground was very quiet once quiet hours started. There is a group campsite and large picnic pavilion up a separate access road off the loop road that brought in large groups but everything died down once it got dark. There's a nice nature trail and fire tower providing some nice views on a clear day also.
