Adirondacks and Vermont in late June

For the Lake Champlain and Islands area, Apple Island Resort in South Hero is a decently nice campground (with hookups etc). It has easy access to the lake for Kayaking etc.; whether that's flat water or not depends on the weather and on how far out you go. Lake Champlain can get pretty gnarly if you're out at the right (wrong) time. Another option might be the City of Burlington's North Beach campground, somewhat more removed from the islands but closer to more cultural sorts of things.

Lake Placid to South Hero is probably about two or two and a half hours if you take the ferry (take your pick of ferry), and maybe closer to three hours if you take a bridge, assuming you aren't rushing things.

A couple of things to see and do in the Lake Champlain area are the Shelburne Museum (a full day in itself), which has a rather eclectic collection of folk art sorts of things; and hiking or driving up and enjoying the views from Mt Philo (leave the trailer behind when driving up).

Do not take your trailer over VT 108 between Cambridge and Stowe (i.e. through Smuggler's Notch). It's a lovely road to drive, but not with a trailer or motorhome or other unusually large vehicle.

I might suggest considering camping in one of the state parks around Groton State Forest rather than in the Stowe area, as there is quite a network of fairly moderate hiking trails through the forest and it's generally a pretty area. As with all the Vermont state park campgrounds, there are no hookups, just dump stations and water fill stations and showerhouses. The state park campgrounds are nice but rustic, not carefully manicured.

We would prefer either FHU or W/E; although having neither is not a deal breaker if the CG is nice enough.

Lake Meacham Campground in the northern ADK is a great spot
to kayak and a beautiful lake.

I don't think it has hookups if you need them.

Here is a link to some of the DEC campgrounds with pictures.

The Adirondack Museum, The Wild Center, Lake Placid - boat trip around Mirror lake?, Hike one of the peaks depending on your abilities, The Olympic venues and museum (Where the US beat the Russians in 1980). There is a lot to do in the ADKs. Some great restaurants and beautiful views. Here is a link too: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g4007676-Activities-Adirondacks_New_York.html


Keep in mind the DEC campgrounds do not have any hookups at all. You can get potable water in the loops and they many have a dump station but there is no electric. Many of the DEC campgrounds have water sites where you can back right up to the water and use your kayaks from your own site. There are some private campgrounds that are more RVish with more ammenities. We like the DEC and privacy between sites and the quiet. You can check RVparkreviews for some ideas too.
