The city of Burlington, VT operates a campground at North Beach that's right on the bike trail (extending for many miles along Lake Champlain). It's a pretty short ride to the downtown area, maybe a mile or two. The beach itself is very nice (and popular during summer days).
The campground itself is adequate but in my opinion unexceptional. There are trees and such, but the sites tend towards the rustic and are somewhat close together and one generally won't find perfectly manicured lawns and planting beds and so forth. I gather that at times it can get a little bit on the loud/party side, though I haven't experienced that personally.
