Discover New Discovery State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Plans for the creation of New Discovery State Park began as early as the 1910s, and the state of Vermont began purchasing land. However, it wasn’t until the mid-1920s that it was officially established, because there were farmers with leases on the land. In the early 1930s, President Franklin Roosevelt created the New Deal, which was intended to lift America out of the Great Depression. A part of the program was the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The state of Vermont hired CCC to work on various parks around the state, one of which included New Discovery State Park. Even today, evidence of their works stand and is still in good condition. CCC built a small campground (which was later expanded), stone shelters, and a stone observation tower on top of the Owl’s Head Mountain.

Getting Outdoors

Encompassing around 7,000 acres, the two primary features of New Discovery State Park are Osmore Pond (sometimes referred to as Lake Osmore) and Owl’s Head Mountain. Though there are no boat launches on the pond, it’s well worth the effort to carry a lightweight kayak or canoe to the pond. The pond often overlooked in favor of larger, more popular lakes, is a quiet, serene fishing hole. For much of the year, fishing and boating on this pond is often a very solitary activity.

Camping at New Discovery State Park

In the far northern wilds of Vermont, the temperature rarely rises above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, even in August. Remember, nights in the mountains are cool. Renting an Airstream will make your camping experience more comfortable, particularly overnight.

Exploring the Area

Surrounded by mountains, trees, and hundreds of ponds, it is hard to imagine that there’s anything to do other than hike or fish. On the contrary! The towns scattered across this region have quirky stores, gift shops, museums, and plenty of history to go around. Hop into a motorhome rental and find your favorite. Montpelier has a lively art, culture, and music scene, delicious restaurants, and regular community events. With only 8,000 residents, you might find yourself sharing a cup of coffee with the state’s governor or mayor. The annual ArtsFest, which has been held since the 80s, is a fun way to discover new and up-and-coming artists and crafters.

We had a great time on our vacation. Renting the campervan from Terri was fantastic. The van itself was very clean and well stocked and Terri was always available and accommodating.

We've rented campervans several times and there's no doubt that Red Rover stands out as the best yet. There are an amazing number of nice features built in. The bathroom is the largest and best laid out we've seen. There's so much storage that we didn't begin to fill it all. The kitchen is a dream to work in.

We had a great time driving and staying in Thor as we spent a beautiful long weekend in the North East Kingdom of Vermont enjoying the autumn foliage. Carrie was a terrific and responsive host.
