Two years ago, parts of 22A were a little rough. We take I87 north to exit 28 and take Route 74 (some recently paved)to the light in Ticonderoga. Left on to 9N to the Champlain bridge road. Right and follow that until you cross the bridge. Bear to the left after you cross the bridge and follow that road until it intersects with 22A. Turn left and continue until you reach 7. Turn left and go to Burlington. There was some construction on 7 north. This should be much faster and better roads. Enjoy your trip!

That route is the 'truck route' up the western side of Vermont. Even though it's single lane paved roads, you should be fine. Just keep an eye out for low clearances.

I've driven that basic route (well, at least the part from Albany north) many, many times. You'll have no problems. You will get the opportunity to help refill the NY state highway fund coffers on I-87 south of Albany. I-81 to I-88 has no tolls and may be preferable for that reason.
There are a couple of good gas stations/small truck stops on 22A just south of route 4 that usually have pretty good prices (at least for gasoline; I don't have any reason to pay attention to diesel prices).
If you're thinking of staying in a campground and don't have reservations, I'd suggest making them as soon as possible. There isn't a whole lot available too close to UVM (North Beach is probably the closest), and I suspect it's a fairly popular time of year to be camping just before schools start up again.
