Wilgus State Park

Stayed in an adequately equipped cabin overlooking the Connecticut River. Excellent river access for our kayaks and a beautiful paddle. Extremely knowledgable and helpful staff at reception office, clean campsite and amenities. Will be back!

Stumbled upon this campground 4 years ago and make sure we visit there at least once a year. We like that it is small and quiet and has clean restroom facilities and showers. The Ranger and the rest of the park staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We love that you can launch your kayaks from the campground or even take a kayak trip and float down the river to the campground. All the sites are clean and well maintained. They even have 4 comfortable cabins (where we now stay) that have electricity, a ceiling fan, a futon, bunk beds, table/​chairs., and a porch. We like that it’s just a few minutes away from Mount Ascutney, Harpoon Brewery and 20 minutes from Quechee Gorge. The campground is pet friendly (but not allowed in cabins) and makes a great destination for families, a group of friends, or couples. Can’t wait to go back!

It’s a nice campground. I’ve stayed in their cabins which are great (four cabins with a bunk bed, a futon, table and chairs, tall ceilings and a fan. Each has a fire pit in front and a view of the river. The grounds are always swept before you arrive and the area is usually shady, lush and green). They also have lean tos and plenty of places to tent. The ranger station has ice and wi fi and there is a dock when you can get the canoes or kayak out. Each restroom have three toilets but there’s only one shower for each gender and a bigger handicapped shower, coin operated. Dogs are allowed on campgrounds but not on the cabins. There are maybe two trails you can stroll through and then there’s the river to play in but not much else to do. Great place to relax and catch up on some me time. We go every year in August.
