When most people think of Vermont, they imagine sprawling farmland, towering mountains, charming towns, and quaint covered bridges… not islands. But our beautiful state is, in fact, home to quite a few islands, and while they are all spectacular in their own way, there is one island destination that is home to a one-of-a-kind state park and campground sure to make your summer unforgettable. Ready for an island camping adventure you’ll never forget? Let’s go!
Welcome to Burton Island State Park, a serene slice of paradise located off St. Albans Point in Lake Champlain near the International Boundary with Canada that just might become your new favorite camping destination.
The 253-acre state park is home to 17 tent camping sites and 26 lean-to sites, plus 15 boat moorings and a 100-slip marina with Wi-Fi connection, dockside electricity, and a marine holding-tank pumpout facility.
Some campsites are even located lakefront, and feature phenomenal views like this. There's truly no better spot to wake up and enjoy a peaceful morning than Burton Island State Park.
Amenities include restrooms with running water and hot showers as well as a nature center/museum, park store, rowboat and canoe rentals, and plenty of picnic tables.
Boasting three miles of shoreline, you’re sure to find plenty of stellar swimming spots, and you’ll undoubtedly want to bring a camera along to capture the serene beauty of this island treasure.
Did we mention that the sunsets are truly second to none? There's little better way to end a quintessential Vermont day than with a sunset over the lake.
Whether you have your own boat or hop on the 10-minute Island Runner ferry from Kamp Kill Kare State Park, Burton Island State Park will easily become your new favorite camping destination.
Burton Island State Park is located at 2714 Hathaway Point Rd., St Albans City, VT 05481, and you can learn more about its campground on the Vermont State Park website.
