Discover Willoughby State Forest RV rentals for memorable road trips
Even though Willoughby State Forest in Vermont was officially established in 1928, it was a patchwork of land. It wasn’t until the 1950s that the state purchased enough land to create a single, massive park. The region was heavily logged and converted to farmlands in the 1800s. The Civilian Conservation Corps, as a part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, planted tens of thousands of trees in the early 1930s. The maple, oak, birch, and spruce saplings thrived, and today, it’s hard to imagine that there were ever farmlands.

Getting Outdoors
Encompassing over 7,600 acres, the bulk of Willoughby State Forest consists of three prominent geological features: Lake Willoughby is cradled on two sides by Mount Hor and Mount Pisgah. The lake itself covers around 1,600 acres and is over 300 feet deep, which is one of the deepest lakes in the New England region. Giant limestone and granite boulders, deposited by a mile-high glacier as it retreated north some 10,000 years ago, tower over the lake. These boulders are prime spots for cliff diving and jumping. A swimming beach and a small boat launch invite water recreational fun. Many adventurers enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and even sailboating. Fishing, too, is enjoyed by many. Anglers can expect to catch brook trout, rainbow trout, catfish, and bass. Though it’s exceptionally rare, if a fisherman catches a round whitefish, they are required to release it. The round whitefish is an endangered species, and it is believed that Lake Willoughby hosts one of the last surviving populations of this fish.
Camping at Willoughby State Forest

This was a very pain free process! John and his wife were wonderful and had us ready to go so quickly. The camper was well equipped with absolutely everything we needed to make this a very stress free process. It was delivered and hooked up, we just got to enjoy the time. Thank you for being amazing hosts!! And for the welcome basket that was very much appreciated.

Jeff was a great host. He was right on time for delivery and pickup times as well as made sure to set up everything and review all the features of the camper with me. The camper is an older model but everything worked. I would have no problem in recommending renting this camper and will rent again if available next time I need a camper in the area.
