RV Rental Burlington, VT

It may be one of the smallest states in the Union, but Vermont is absolutely loaded with spectacular landscapes, epic mountains, lush forests, and some of the best fall foliage imaginable.

Green Mountain National Forest is the largest natural area in the state, with 400,000 acres of land covering wide swaths of the state.
