Why Guests Return to Apple Island Resort

Immaculate views. Great staff- friendly and informative. Grounds are kept immaculate. Views are good from everywhere. The heated pool and hot tub are just icing on the cake! Love it here.

NancyJune 2025

We had a great time at this beautiful resort on the shores of Lake Champlain. The grounds are lovely, with flower beds throughout and well-kept camping areas. Everything was spotless, including the full-service bathhouses. My granddaughter and I rented a golf cart and explored the park, which was a lot of fun. The hosts were delightful and very accommodating.

DebJune 2025

The RV park was great, but the highlight of our stay at Apple Island Resort was the magical boat tour with Captain Scotty from Champlain Islands Magical Boat Tours at the marina across the street. We booked a custom tour that covered everyone’s wishes, and it was unforgettable. The resort also offers plenty of fun activities.

MeganJune 2025

I wanted to mention that I stayed at Apple Island last week. The resort looked great and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We have stayed a few times and really enjoy our time away. Thanks to you and your team for the hard work and extra effort. It really shows all that you do.

Great RV park, especially for motor homes. Amazing pull in spots with lake views. All spots are large. Nice restrooms and fabulous showers. Nesting turtles is late spring. Lightning bugs everywhere! Many cute bunnies.

Brandi MyersJune 2024

I have a 28 Foot Airstream and stayed at the Apple Island RV Resort. The Resort was great. The place was beautiful and the folks managing the resort were great. I had a full hook up spot with 50 amp power, solid water pressure & sewer. I highly recommend this place and I will 100% be going back.

Miguel RodriguezMay 2024

It's a pretty park with nice, clean facilities. Well run. The staff is extremely welcoming and gives a family feel. We stayed here for 2 nights pre-season for the 2024 solar eclipse. The staff did a great job opening up a month early to host the event, and the park was full of happy campers. We plan to return another time in season.

Dawn AsmarApril 2024

We stayed at the Apple Island Resort for the eclipse. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Could not imagine more scenic views from a campsite. The staff is friendly and professional. I look forward to visiting again!

John FerreroApril 2024

We had a fantastic time here as always. Your staff is exceptional. We have been camping here since 2005 and this campground is hands down the best. Everyone we have recommended it to thinks the same. See you next year.

Kevin & SandyJune 2025

We discovered Apple Island Resort a few years ago with our travel trailer and have loved returning ever since. The RV sites are clean, level, and fully equipped with water, sewer, and electric. The staff is friendly and goes above and beyond to help guests. The surrounding area offers plenty to see and do, especially for outdoor enthusiasts.

Lyndy BurnhamApril 2024

We stayed at Apple Island Resort for the 2024 solar eclipse and had a great time. Even though the resort wasn’t fully open, the team went the extra mile with coffee, bagels, and donuts each morning. Food trucks served lunch, and the store had everything we needed. The location on Lake Champlain is gorgeous.

James LilleyApril 2024

We come yearly for a week and it is the best camping experience we have. The bathrooms are spotless, I love the showers with the shower head hose. They upgraded the pool area and it is lovely. Lots to do on-site and the area is rich with places to go. Just a mile to Sandbar Beach, lots of things to do in Burlington. The staff is wonderful, super friendly and helpful at the campground the store and marina. If you want a fabulous "Glamping" experience I cannot say enough good things about Apple Island Resort.

Liza AJuly 2025

I would definitely recommend Apple Island Resort. Everything was very well maintained, the trails were fun, and the views of Lake Champlain were beautiful. The store is charming and has just about everything you need, and the food is great. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a place we’d happily visit again.

Natalie Borkoski ParkerOctober 2025

Absolutely amazing campground. The views are gorgeous, the pool is sparkling clean, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The store is a hidden gem, with incredible breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Everything was spotless, and the staff was warm and welcoming. We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to come back.

G. MaloneySeptember 2025

There was so much to love about Apple Island. The location is great, and the amenities are above average compared to most places we’ve visited. Everyone we met who works there was gracious and very friendly. The park and scenery are beautiful, making it a wonderful getaway you won’t be disappointed with.

Jill WilsonMay 2025

We had a fantastic stay at Apple Island Resort. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and personally escorted us to our site. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean, the pool was perfect on hot days, and the campground had a friendly atmosphere. Evenings were peaceful and quiet. We highly recommend it for an RV camping getaway in Vermont.

Mark AmbroseSeptember 2025

We enjoyed our stay at this pristine clean and friendly campground. Staff couldn't be more helpful. The views are stunning from the campground and with a bonus, heated pool and jacuzzi. We ll be back.

Lisa GroganJune 2024

Great grounds level spaces looking over the lake. Very friendly staff. Lots of grass and lots of space between sites. The areas looking over the lake are well worth it the first space was not and felt like we were in an established neighborhood with many permanent long term sites.

Tom BattleJune 2024

We’ve stayed here multiple times and reserved our spot for next year! The saltwater pool and hot tub are clean and heated. The sites are well laid out with beautiful views of Lake Champlain. The playground is nice, and the nature trail is great for walking, running, or biking.

Anne ShoemakerJune 2024

Absolutely beautiful resort with breathtaking views of Lake Champlain. It’s worth waking up early to catch the sunrise. The staff, from the office to the groundskeepers, were wonderful. The convenience store had everything we needed, and the museum was a great stop during our visit. We’re already looking forward to coming back.

Cheryl SychanthaApril 2025

Apple Island Resort is a 10/10. We spent a three-day weekend here and loved everything about it. The views of Lake Champlain are incredible, and the pool and facilities were all in great shape. The camp store has a solid selection of snacks and a deli with great sandwiches. The par-3 golf course was immaculately maintained with smooth greens. Everything on site felt well cared for. We’ll definitely be back to check out the car museum.

Jordan CAugust 2025
