Such a great little park! Very close to Montpelier but far enough away to really feel like you're camping. We enjoyed the nature trail around the perimeter. The highlight was Jeanne, the camp host - she was friendly and helpful! She even checked on us when a storm briefly knocked the power out.

We stayed one night here in early oct. This was the best KOA we have ever been to. The site is very very cozy. It is surrounded by rolling hills and the spot we got, no 33, is located just next to a small creek. Our kids enjoyed playing by the creek and on the nature trail and on the playground. The bathroom is very clean and the playground is for all ages. The manger is very lovely and welcoming. We can definitely recommend this KOA.

We are so happy we chose your KOA in Montpelier to stay! The price was very affordable and the amenities were great…those we needed and so much more for our enjoyment if we had stayed in the area longer. The staff was very helpful and able to answer all my questions before we arrived. We loved the small town feel of it. We used the laundry for a load of clothes and the price of it was much more reasonable than many places we’ve been. Everything was incredibly clean, organized and easy to find. Thank you so much…Hope to see you again!

Had a lovely stay in at the Montpelier KOA. We stayed in a class A motorhome in July. Jeanine was a wonderful host. She was friendly, helpful, and always had a smile on her face. Very kind and accommodating which made us feel at home. Was a very hot weekend but the pool was cool and refreshing. Ours site had ample space and a bit of shade which was great because the sun was HOT. We had a nice picnic table and fire ring. We took a walk along the creek and enjoyed the rushing water. Our children liked the park and met some friends to play with. BEST laundry at only $2/wash + $2/dry. We'd definitely stay again if we were passing through the area.
