From jct I-89 (exit 14W) & US 2: Go 1-3/4 mi W on Main St, then 1/2 mi N on Battery St, then 100 yds W on Sherman St, then 1-1/4 mi N on North Ave.
I've been 3-4 times in the last few years. Adjacent to the lake and bike path. Not always quiet at night. Bathroom and showers are barely ok and aging. Lock your stuff there are homeless locals wandering through as there is no gate from the public beach. Someone ballsy stole cheese and mayonnaise from our ice box outside the camper, glad the wine and valuables were locked inside.
We camped here Oct 9, 2023 for 4 nights. It is a decent little campground and we did not experience anything being stolen or unsavory characters around. The spots were tight for our 26 ft camper, but overall it is a good value and perfect location to visit the area. We would stay here again and like the others, get a full hook up site.
Stayed for 4 nights. Girlfriend had 3k worth of outdoor gear stolen while staying here from her vehicle our last night. Our neighbors had a tent stolen that they left up. The bike path that parallels the water makes it easy for anyone to grab everything they can and run off quickly.
Would not recommend having anything of value in your vehicle you leave at your site or just set up at your site that you don't intend to lose.
We booked and the people were friendly, easy refund when we were coming in a day late. We pulled in and found our spot, the site was tiny and hard to tell where our site actually was. We were in between two sketchy homeless people and decided to leave. The campground is right off a bike trail and open beach with little keeping people off the property. We didn’t feel safe and ended up going down the road to Mallets Bay campground where we felt safe, the campsites were huge and our stuff was not messed with.
We booked our stay here specifically because my daughter's apartment is 1/2 mile up the bike path in Old North End. I got a little nervous reading some of these reviews but she went by and told me not to worry. Are the sites tight and close together? Yes. Next time we will go for the full hook-up spaces. But we had no trouble getting into 74 with our 28 ft trailer once we came at it the other direction. I also recommend getting out and giving your site a good lookover and where to place your camper. That row itself at the end the sites are fairly level and easier to get into than some of the others, but you are at the main access to the beach and bike bath so there is a lot a foot traffic by you. Good people watching though! The people around us were super nice and friendly. Lots of French Canadian families. The bathrooms were definitely not up to par with other campgrounds we've stayed in. If I was at a full hook up I would not have had to use them as much. The fixtures were clean, it was really just the floors that got muddy and there were lots of cobwebs and spiders if you looked up.
But for the money and location this is a great value. A hotel in Burlington is like $400/night. You are just a few minutes to downtown by car or bike, and having the beach with drinks and snacks steps away is wonderful.
