Welcome to North Hero State Park. The campground at North Hero was closed for the 2009 season, but has re-opened for the 2010 season. If you have camped at North Hero in previous years, you will find a very different camping experience today. Take a look at the North Hero State Park Interactive Park Map & Guide to see the new park layout. Two sections of the former campground remain closed, and the number of campsites in the open section has been reduced to 20. Six of these sites are walk-in sites. The restroom and shower facilities are not available, although there are chemical toilets in the campground and there is potable water.

We refer to this as a remote camping area because of the reduced services, facilities and staff on hand at the park. The ranger station is open on a reduced-hours schedule, although there is resident staff in the park around the clock. The fee schedule is different, too, as camping fees are the same as group camping rates, at $5/per person/per night rather than per campsite.

Camp sites may not be reserved in advanced, but are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Campers self-register upon arrival at the park, while the resident staff checks periodically to assure that everyone has registered.
