We stayed at Prouty Beach Campground for a few days on the way back from Nova Scotia * from Massachusetts.) Beautiful views. The woman at the office upgraded our site at my request and we were very pleased with the change. The laundry room was right near us. The free showers were amazing! Loved the chain swings located along the water. The sunsets were beautiful. One complaint is the flies were out of control, along with the mosquitoes. All in all, a wonderful Campground that we'd go back to. Love also that it's such a short distance from the Canadian border. Tiniest camp store I've ever seen though lol~ Also loved the clothesline located right outside of the washers & dryers.

A quiet campground with some sites overlooking the water and others under the partial shade of the maple trees. The sites in the middle are very close together and mixed amongst session or permanent sites. No issues with the hook ups and they recommend you have a regulator due to the high water pressure. There is a laundry room which we used. There were washers ($2.00) and 3 dryers ($0.25 for 5 minutes). There is a nice path for biking and walking. You can use it to walk downtown (not much there) or to a border crossing. The campground is clean. The staff, especially the lady in the office, are awesome. A hidden gem to drive or walk to is T Bar and Hoagies Pizza and Pasta. They’re connected. The food and drinks were good and reasonable. Next door is Village Market grocery store with had liquor store as well.

We watched the Solar Eclipse from Prouty Beach. They have restroom facilities open from May to September. There are paved walking paths and plenty of free parking. The lake is so beautiful and the water looks very clean. We were there in April during the Eclipse because Newport VT was in the Totality zone. We were able to view the total eclipse for over 3 minutes without eye protection. It was an incredible experience and the lake view was Beautiful. Prouty Beach in Newport VT is on the Canadian border and most of the lake resides in Canada.
