Allis State Park

OVERVIEW

Perched along the ridgeline of Bear Hill in central Vermont, Allis State Park is a quiet, mountaintop escape known for its scenic vistas, rustic charm, and uncrowded campsites. As one of Vermont’s lesser-known but oldest state parks, it offers a relaxing forested retreat for tent campers, small RV travelers, and families looking to enjoy the outdoors in a peaceful setting.

With a historic stone fire tower, wooded hiking trails, and sweeping views of the Green Mountains and White River Valley, Allis State Park is a hidden gem perfect for slowing down and soaking in the natural beauty of the region.

THE CAMPGROUND

Allis State Park Campground features a small, well-maintained loop with sites nestled under tall trees, offering plenty of shade, privacy, and tranquility. It’s a great destination for unplugging, stargazing, and enjoying a traditional camping experience without the crowds.

Campground features include:

• 18 tent/RV sites (no hookups)
• 8 lean-tos for extra shelter and comfort
• Fire rings and picnic tables at each site
• Clean restrooms with hot showers
• Drinking water and trash/recycling stations
• Pet-friendly
• Access to hiking trails and scenic picnic areas

The park’s elevation and remote feel make it a favorite for those seeking cool mountain breezes, campfire nights, and quiet mornings with birdsong.
