Prouty Beach Campground
Overview
Prouty Beach Campground offers a scenic lakeside retreat on the shores of Lake Memphremagog in Vermont's beautiful Northeast Kingdom. This municipal park provides a perfect balance of outdoor recreation and natural beauty, making it a staple for those visiting Northern Vermont. It serves as a community hub where travelers can enjoy direct lake access and a quiet atmosphere while being just minutes away from the amenities of downtown Newport.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the heart of Newport, VT, the park is defined by its prime waterfront location along the expansive Lake Memphremagog. The surroundings are lush and green, featuring mature trees and sweeping views of the blue water stretching toward the Canadian border. The park is conveniently located right next to the Beebe Spur Trail, providing guests with easy access to miles of peaceful walking and biking paths through the scenic Vermont countryside.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground caters to various camping styles with a mix of RV sites featuring full hookups as well as water and electric options. On-site facilities include a clean bathhouse, a sandy swimming beach with seasonal lifeguards, and multiple sports courts for tennis and basketball. Families often appreciate the large playground and the professional disc golf course, while water enthusiasts can take advantage of the boat launch or rent kayaks to explore the lake.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the beach, visitors can explore the charming downtown area of Newport for local dining and boutique shopping. The nearby Newport Bike Path is perfect for a morning ride, offering flat terrain and stunning vistas. For those looking to explore further, the Northeast Kingdom region provides endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, and leaf-peeping during the autumn months, with several state parks and mountains just a short drive away.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for recreational families and couples who prioritize lakefront activities and outdoor sports over a resort-style atmosphere. Its proximity to town makes it a great choice for travelers who want a natural setting without sacrificing access to local grocery stores and services. It is particularly well-suited for those traveling with bicycles or paddleboards, as the direct trail and water access are the primary highlights of the park experience.

Nice campground with beach, playground, tennis and pickleball courts. Friendly reception, dump station to rinse our kayaks, warm showers. Thanks, City of Newport!

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.

I love going for walks here almost daily. Such a beautiful space and has a decent playground obviously compared to Gardner. (Be mindful of broken parts, could scratch little climbers.) The bathroom is beautiful but has new shower curtains to cover the stalls instead of doors. These blow open when the main door opens, so this is an issue if other people come in. Kind people. Beautiful scenery. Needs some improvements but grateful.

Amazing walk, not a hard walk, and had amazing views!

The place is gorgeous! Sitting on a glacial lake replete with miles of walking paths and a canoe/kayak marina. But the staff, in particular "Raven" was great! We had a problem with our rig that required a mobile welder and she took time out of her life to go the extra mile to get us hooked up!
