From Enosburg Falls: Go 3 miles west on Hwy 105, then 3 miles north on VT 236.
Beautiful campground. Loved watching the sunset over the lake every night. There’s barely any service at the grounds but you’re camping so who cares! The water was warm for late August which was nice. Our tent site was partially exposed to the bathrooms which was a little annoying. Due to covid, the bathrooms are single occupancy only and could’ve been cleaned a little more often (as they do at other VT state parks) but overall we had great time! Campground is about an hour from Burlington & Stowe and 15 minutes from the Canadian border.
Had an amazing weekend at Lake Carmi. We reserved a waterfront site which was gorgeous, clean, had great trees, and the facilities were close by. There are nice hiking trails, swimming, boat launch. There's also a day use area for parties and such. The maintenance staff were exceptionally prompt at cleaning each vacant site each day and the entire park was pristine. We'll definitely be coming back to Carmi again!
We had a pretty good time at LCSP. There are gates to keep registered campers and guests in and others out. That was something we hadn’t seen at a SP in VT to date. There are two camping areas, section A and B. Both are within walking distance and/or directly connect to the lake’s edge. Closest town to get food, gas, or supplies is Enosburg. It was roughly an hour drive from the Burlington area. There’s often Cyanobacteria in the water at LCSP, I recommend checking out the Cyano tracker map that VT offers. Use caution when allowing your children or pets near the water. Overall I give the experience 4 stars. There were fellow campers running their generator outside throughout both nights we stayed. Went on at 10pm, and off at 7 am. It wasn’t until later that I noticed the posted rules for hours you can run a generator. I didn’t want to be a male Karen and report them but that definitely took away from the experience and our quality of sleep. It was sort of busy at the campground when we went; maybe a bit busier than I expected or hoped for. Definitely worth checking this campground out but there are a few things to keep in mind for sure.
