Bomoseen State Park Campground

Lake Bomoseen's shoreline beckons at this picturesque campground, where tranquil forest sites and lakeside recreation create an idyllic Vermont retreat. Bomoseen State Park Campground offers a quintessential New England camping experience, balancing scenic beauty with well-maintained facilities. The campground's 65 sites, including tent/RV spots and cozy lean-tos, are thoughtfully laid out to provide a mix of wooded seclusion and open lakefront views.

Situated on the western shore of Lake Bomoseen, Vermont's largest lake entirely within state borders, the campground is just a short drive from the charming town of Castleton. The surrounding Taconic Mountains provide a stunning backdrop, with the park's 3,576 acres encompassing a diverse landscape of forests, wetlands, and historic slate quarries.

Hiking enthusiasts will appreciate the network of trails, including the scenic Bomoseen Loop Trail and the interpretive Slate History Trail. The area's rich cultural heritage is evident in the remnants of 19th-century slate industry scattered throughout the park. For those seeking additional outdoor pursuits, fishing for bass, perch, and trout is popular, while birdwatchers can spot a variety of species including bald eagles and great blue herons.
