It's a good thing for the Vermont state parks that you're looking for dry camping, since that's all they offer. (I'm afraid I'm not so much up on New Hampshire state parks, but there are certainly some lovely areas there.)
I'm not sure what makes a park impressive to you, but I might consider Ascutney SP. The campground (at the base of the mountain) is rather typical, with well-separated sites in the woods. If you hike or drive to the summit of the mountain, though, there's quite a little network of trails with some impressive views in all directions, including a 360 degree view from an observation tower.
The various campgrounds around Groton State Forest also have access to a nice network of trails through the woods, rather more level hiking, and one or two peaks with some views. It's a pleasant wilderness area.
Queechee state park has the gorge there, not the largest gorge around but a decent one. It's also close to the VINS raptor center.
I know you didn't ask about them, but upstate New York has some truly spectacular state parks, such as Watkins Glen and Letchworth.
