RV Rental Silver Lake State Park, VT

Much like the park's name suggests, the most popular activities here involve the lake. Anglers come here throughout the year for fishing and ice fishing. In terms of the game, you can expect an excellent selection, including northern pike, smallmouth bass, and perch. Even though the park is closed in the winter, Bernard and Woodstock campers still drop by the lake for ice skating and fishing.

The lake's swimming area tends to get crowded during summer. The rest of the lake permits both motorized and non-motorized watercraft. Even if you don’t have your own boat, the park offers rental options, so you can still explore this tranquil lake.

Campers love the recreation area as well. You can play sports here (like volleyball, for example), organize family picnics, and even take amazing photos of nature. The park's picnic pavilion overlooks scenic vistas, which makes it ideal for a family meal or any kind of get-together. Don’t forget to bring your camera, your sporting gear, and a book that you can read while sunbathing.

There are nearly 40 campsites for either tent or RV camping at Silver Lake State Park. When planning to rent an RV for this trip, look for options that are between 30 and 34 feet in length, as the state park's campground can't accommodate a vehicle larger than that. There are no hookups, but guests will have access to hot showers and running water.

Another reason why people love to spend their vacation here is that they can bring their pets along. Visitors will also find a snack bar and changing rooms near the swimming area. Campers would be wise to book their sites in advance, either online or via phone. That being said, if you're passing by and would like to camp at Silver Lake State Park for a few nights, you can test your luck and see whether some of the first-come, first-served sites are available.

Make the most of your getaway and visit the town of Woodstock. If you're tired of preparing your own meals back at camp, you can treat yourself at one of the restaurants while you're here. There are lovely taverns, pizzerias, snack bars, Asian food options, and more.

Woodstock also has a farm museum and historic center as one of its main attractions. Billings Farm is a top-tier outdoor history museum, where you can see a plethora of educational exhibits, sign up for events, and participate in educational programs. The kids will love it also, as they get to interact with farm animals, like sheep, pigs, cows, horses, and chickens. They can also learn about milking, making cheese, etc. You'll even get a tour of the 1890 farmhouse, filled with antiquities and agricultural tools used in the 19th century.

The history center also has its share of enticing collections and exhibits. Artifacts, clothing, books, art, and historic information on important local figures can all be found here. The exhibits tell the tale of Woodstock and document important moments in the town's history.

Once you decide to explore further, you can refill your tank at one of the gas stations in Woodstock. Another nearby and exciting detour you can make while on your RV camping vacation is Vermont Toy Museum near Hartford. It features a collection of over 100,000 toys that include action figures, dolls, video game consoles, board games, figurines, puzzles, and more. This is a really nice stroll down memory lane, as you're very likely to see some of the toys you played with as a kid.
