Campground Review and Description by About Camping Reader:
Description: I felt like I was camping in the city. The noise from I-89 and a private road right next to our campsite was awful. Private road traffic all hours and very very fast.
Minimal kid activities. Much too congested with no privacy. No dish sink and saw people washing dishes in the restroom. Hair clogged drains and trash overflow each time I went in. Wifi NOT free. Was told only thing not available was shuffle board but not true. Only one tennis court not four, no pickle ball and no direct access to lake champlain bike path as I was told.
Pros, Cons, Attractions and Additional Comments:
Pros: Pools? Maybe? But you better bring your own chair cuz there are none! Heated pool isn't that heated. Oh wait, the go cart thingies. Kids like stuff like that, but god help you if you need to cross the private rd path - those people are NUTS!
Cons: Road noise was horrible - not worth the price we paid at all. If I realized how noisy this was going to be before we got everything set up, I'd have left but too much work. Used bathrooms after 9 at night every night and they were just as dirty the next day. Showers u pay for and internet is pricey - never had to pay for this before.
Seemed crazy.
Attractions: Burlington
Additional Comments: I know I'd never go back and honestly not sure what keeps people there.

From Lone Pine Campsites in Colchester, Vermont: "Lone Pine Campsites offers the quintessential Vermont camping experience in one of the most beautiful regions of the state, the Lake Champlain Valley. Located a mere stone's throw from Mallets Bay and 15 minutes from downtown Burlington, our 265 spacious campsites are surrounded by native trees and wildlife. We provide several RV hook-up options and are happy to welcome tent campers.
"Everything you'll need is on site, from sports courts and a fully stocked camp store, to wifi access, two giant swimming pools, laundry facilities, and free weekly rides on a real 1952 fire truck! A wide variety of outdoor and urban adventures are in our neighborhood, from tours at the legendary Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory and sailing excursions on Lake Champlain, to shopping at the Church Street Marketplace and day hikes in the breathtaking Green Mountains."
