From Escapade in VT to FMCA in MA

[wheelygoode]

We have 2 days to go from Essex Junction, VT to West Springfield, MA. We will need one FHU as we have been and will be boondocking at both rallies, and would like a 'free' stop as well if possible.
Also, is there anything special we should wee along the way?
Thanks!

Perhaps, but Days End would still be one of the better sites for finding free places (especially since they are likely Escapees members if attending the Escapade). Another would be the Free Campsites Website.

Thank you for the suggestions - good ideas! It's not far, but beach and bike in Burlington sounds great!

FHU & free? Try checking the Escapees Days End Directory to see if there are any members that offer such a deal on their property.

That's a nice long time for about 3 1/2 hours of driving (via the direct route on the interstates). You'll have lots of options.

The Shelburne Museum is an interesting place to spend a day (and it can easily take a full day). The collection is large and very eclectic: folk art, a steamboat, a carousel, hat boxes, interiors....

Another neat museum for technically-minded people is the American Precision museum in Windsor, VT; it's mostly early machine tools and related things.

The City of Burlington, VT operates North Beach campground, which has some full-hookup sites. The campground is frankly nothing exceptional. the beach is lovely (and popular), and in the next couple of days would feel mighty nice. It looked from a quick check like they didn't have too much in the way of available sites over the next couple of days. The park is right on the bike path (which extends for quite a few miles more or less along Lake Champlain and leads to downtown Burlington).
