Apple Island Resort

Sadly, this may be our last time year camping here. New management has increased the fees significantly and are discouraging families with children and travel trailers to book there stay here. They offer activities only catered toward adults and “adult only” swim times. That’s not an issue for me when choosing a campground because I don’t expect anyone to entertain my kids. But I don’t like to hear they’re are purposely trying to discourage families with young children to come stay. The most sought after sites with the best views are only encouraged for CL A trailers only. After speaking with several employees and seasonal folks. This seems to be the coming complaints.

Great staff, friendly and helpful. This is large resort and many permanent sites with well maintained "mobile homes" in this park. Many have additions and this is a really nice community I am sure. The camper area is mostly a wide open area but I will say that there is enough room between sites so it doesn't feel like a parking lot. Nice views of the lake. Only disappointment is for a resort I would have expected cable TV at each site. Unless I missing something I didn't see a hookup at our site. We are camping during the week and the activities are Thurs thru Saturday so we miss all that fun.

Spent a week at the campground and truly enjoyed our time there. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our site was spacious and clean, and we had amazing views of Lake Champlain. Very family and pet friendly. The saltwater pool was the perfect place to cool off during the heat wave we had while staying there. Highly recommend and would certainly stay here again in the future.

We spent 4 days here at site AL002. This site was great. Tons of room, pretty level, an outstanding view of the lake and nice and shaded. We where extremely happy with our site choice. None of the sites are bad, all are huge and level. There is some road noise, minimal, but the views are worth it. The resort staff where some of the friendliest we have ever met. This also goes for the seasonals too. There's a ton of seasonal sites here, all well maintained, no eye sores and everyone we spoke to where welcoming. Park is very pet friendly, golf course on site is an added bonus. The store is huge, and has excellent grinders. They had live music one night and a food truck. Pool is clean and they have a great fitness center. If I could give this place more stars I would. We would definitely come back and recommend staying here. Next time we will rent the pontoon to explore the lake, which is available on site as well!!

We stayed for four nights in a full hookup, Platinum site facing Lake Champlain. Upon arrival we were told “we gave your site away accidentally” but they claim to have given us a better one- which, we probably couldn’t have told the difference. We loved the site we ended up at. This place is extremely quiet. So peaceful, and everyone we came in contact with whether it be in the store, or marina (the exception being one grumpy gentlemen at the marina, but maybe he was having a bad week?) were very helpful, and nice. Our daughter enjoyed the clean pool, we rented a pontoon and a rowboat, and our dogs also had a great time walking the grounds. (Everyone really picks up after their dogs well, it’s so nice) They have a bulletin/chalkboard out front letting you know the activities going on throughout the day, which was a lot of fun- we had just missed bingo. The laundry area was basic(bring quarters and your own soaps), but the commercial washer and dryers were pretty quick, and inexpensive! The store was our favorite. Lots of local goods, great wine and beer selections- the deli is amazing, and the people were super nice. Pricing was fair at the store, as they are not a large chain. We hope to return in the future.
