The town of Stowe is about a 20 min drive from the campground. It is a must see destination and we definitely recommend spending some time there! The town of Morrisville is very close, only about 5 min away and offers just about anything you could need during your stay – grocery stores, gas stations, shopping, restaurants & breweries! (See our Explore page)
We are not offering any new seasonal sites and do not offer monthly rates/month to month. RV sites have a 28 night maximum stay, nightly/weekly rates. Cabins, 14 night max.
RV site reservations are accepted by Site Type (Standard, Deluxe, etc). The site lock/pick your site feature IS OPTIONAL and allows guests to select and guarantee a specific site number.
This optional booking feature incurs a fee per reservation and is NON-REFUNDABLE in the event of cancellation or changes. If you have a favorite site or a group that would like to be guaranteed to be located all together, this may be for you! Otherwise, you can just book by site type and the site number will be assigned to you at check-in.
Yes! Friendly dogs are very welcomed at Mountain View Campground. Rentals are also pet friendly (up to 2, dogs only) with pet fee.
