Discover Burton Island State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Burton Island State Park is on a very small island in Lake Champlain in Vermont. It is just off the shoreline near St. Albans Bay and is only accessible by a 10-minute boat or ferry ride. The island has several primitive campsites as well as a few cabins but does not support RV camping. The park is a very popular access point for boaters wanting to explore greater Lake Champlain, and there is a marina within the park with 100 slips and dockside electricity. If you have your own boat, you can use it to access the park instead of riding the ferry.

The van worked perfectly for my son and I on our weeklong ski roadtrip around New England. The van is well outfitted for any ski trip with all needed amenities . We like to overpack on winter roadtrips and were pleasantly surprised that the van was already outfitted with everything we could have needed. The heater worked flawlessly, even with overnight temps dropping to -5F. The rear slide out stored held our 4 pairs of skis(largest were 185 cm with 118mm waist) and a grain scoop shovel for digging out, if needed. The 120v outlets and supporting solar panels made it easy to run boot dryers overnight. The van has a sink, stove, and refrigerator for all kitchen needs. We found ourselves actually looking forward to hunkering down in the van during breaks and after skiing. We had several snow days during the trip and the 4wd(w/ burly tires) performed well and didn’t feel noticeably different than my truck in winter driving conditions. This van helped make for an amazing winter adventure. We highly recommend Rob’s Van for any trips during any season. We hope to rent it again for another trip next winter!
