Wonderful campground!! The staff is extremely friendly and always there to help. I stayed for 3 nights, and even in the rain it was fun. The proximity to the lake and all of the different water sport options are awesome and readily available. There are also numerous stunning hiking trails within walking distance from the campsite. The positives of the trip: amazing staff, well-stocked store w/ good hot food options, clean bathrooms, right on the lake, water sports, hiking, scenery. The negatives: the sites are a tad close together, so you can hear others' conversations, Route 5A is very loud and cars fly by very quickly at all hours of the day, you have to pay for the showers (not uncommon, but somewhat annoying if you don't have quarters), and our campsite was pretty uneven, which was especially problematic in the rain. If you're going to stay here, I would recommend bringing lots of quarters, bug spray, and potentially renting one of the platform sites so you know you won't be sleeping at an angle. Overall, the experience there was great. My breakfast burrito on the last day was delicious and a bittersweet end to a great stay. Thank you, white caps!! read more

An adorable little campground on beautiful Lake Willoughby. The campground is small, but has plenty of amenities. RV sites, tent sites and cabin rentals. Bike and kayak rentals, clean bathrooms and showers, and a general store with just about anything you could need. Including fresh breakfast and lunch items, and even a deli. Everyone here is helpful and personable. And the views can't be beat. Even on one particularly rainy day, it was gorgeous. A solid four stars. One note. Spaces are really tight and in some cases, impossibly close together. Some sites, I wonder how people even get their rigs in. But you're there for the lake and getting out into nature, so it's not horrible once you get parked. read more

OK. I haven't been here in some 30 years, but I remember the way it was back then. The current owners really have improved this campground. Besides the obvious breathtaking view and proximity of Lake Willoughby, this property makes for a wonderful stay! My wife and I stayed in one of the cabins (which they didn't have 30 years ago). We found it to be clean and comfortable. It had a little fridge, electric outlets and lights. Bring your own linens. Outside the cabin, there was a picnic table and a fire ring. There is a porch with a couple of chairs. Clean, functional bathrooms with hot showers. Easy garbage disposing and recycling. The camp store had all the needs for your stay, just in case you forgot anything. Pleasant people to deal with. All in all, I give this a solid 4 stars. I think most folks would enjoy this place! read more

Loved this place; clean, beautiful, peaceful. We booked a return trip while we there for the first weekend in October read more

Rented a house next door for NEMBA Fest at Kingdom Trails. I walked here from the house. This review is for the country store located on the campground. The owners were very nice and there were tables inside and on the porch to sit down and enjoy a meal. I ordered a breakfast burrito which was awesome, they have breakfast sandwiches, coffee, Fresh baked goods like muffins and donuts, ice cream, hot dogs, tacos. Kayak rentals, wine and beer, toiletries, sweatshirts, and souvenirs are also sold here. Kayak rental on site for Lake Willoughby right across the street is very convenient and reasonably priced. read more

Did not camp here, stayed close by and stopped in for breakfast. People were friendly , coffee was good, and the breakfast sandwiches may be the best I've ever had. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Bacon egg and cheese on everything is simply divine. read more

Stayed at the last tent site on the property (UT8) for a couple of nights. Our site was larger and more private than most of the other tent sites, which was nice. We had to drive up a steep rocky hill to get to it which was a little nerve racking but with my AWD SUV it wasn't too bad. The country store had some useful items like a fire ring sized grill rack which was super helpful for us cooking over the fire, and the breakfast sandwiches were good. The firewood they sold wasn't quite dry enough to burn super good, we had to split it with an axe into smaller pieces for it to burn better, but it got the job done. It's been a very dry season so far but the bugs were not bad at all and we didn't even need to use the netted bug shelter we brought just in case. I was extremely impressed by the bathrooms, they were so clean, insect free, and private, unlike other campgrounds I've stayed at before. The bathroom building has a handicap accessible ramp and each bathroom is accessed by a key - it's a single unit with toilet, sink, and shower in it, and was nice and warm. The showers are coin operated - 8 quarters for five minutes. There was a dish sink and couple of portapotties available right outside the bathhouse as well. Several hiking trails were within walking distance from the campground that offer great views. Staff was helpful and hard at work trucking kayak rentals to and from the lake across the street and the country store all day. Wi-Fi was available about 10 yards surrounding the country store, and there were outdoor electrical outlets on the porch of the store for charging phones, as there was not electric hookup on our site. Overall good experience, would definitely go back again. read more

White Caps was supposed to be our first stop for our week long vacation to Vermont. However, our son tested positive for COVID the night before. Out of respect for the state of Vermont and White Caps Campground, we decided to stay home. We were hoping to get a credit to come back some other time this season or next. However, we were told that was not possible, and management only offered us the opportunity to gift our reservation to a friend who could pay us to get our money back. Unfortunately, we live in Maine and it would be hard to find friends to take a reservation out of state the day of! We didn't want our money back! We wanted to reschedule, which is what we were able to do at North Beach campground in Burlington, but alas now we will be looking elsewhere when we return to the Burke area. read more

Fine campground. Staff seem like they are better than you. The campsites are about 6 feet apart With no privacy so if you're looking for privacy / woods type campground this is not your place.More of an RV park. The bathrooms are nice and that was the only plus. read more

White Caps was recommended by a friend who stays here often every year and we couldn't be more happy! This campground has a perfect location to the Lake Willoughby beach across the street and hiking on Mt Pisgah and Mt Hor. We stayed in one of the cabins which was perfect for us. Having the country store right on site was very convenient and had everything we needed including fresh breakfast and lunch sandwiches and campfire wood. Michele, Eric, and their family were great to talk to and kept a very tidy campground. You could tell that the bathrooms were recently renovated and cleaned often. Lake Willoughby has become a special spot for us and we will definitely be back to stay at White Caps! read more

MONEY TALKS HERE Treated as "second class citizens " by the other campers and the staff. This campground is full of expensive motor homes and RVs and all I had was a small old pop up so I didn't fit in with upper class, snobby clientele. Brought this to the attention of the staff and was basically laughed at by them as well as the management. If you do not own an expensive RV or motor home try the Willowwood campground 5 miles north on rt. 5a. Much bigger and less crowded and money doesn't matter because it speaks loudly at White Caps read more

Lake Willoughby is beautiful and very close. The general store, was on par with most campgrounds stores and sold coffee, beer, hot food etc i wouldn't relay on it, The seasonal renters (2/3 of the sites) where tight-packed with views and separated from the week/weekend campers. We went as a larger group for a bachelor party and had trouble finding good places to play lawn game or wiffle ball as this campground lacks a common field area. As a larger group and the sites as big as 2 wide 2 deep driveway we had trouble with parking and space. Most of the campers where there for mountain biking so in the day no one stays on the grounds. If your biking and need a place to crash cheep this is the spot. If you use to normal camping and want some privacy, and some peace and quit this is NOT for you. read more

Michelle, one of the owners is sadly lacking in how to treat people. She is rude and lies and has no sense of customer service and how to treat people on top of threatening me. Sites are small and on top of each other. Find a better campground where they treat you decently while taking your money. read more

My wife and I needed a nice last-minute getaway for a few days off during the week and a coworker recommended Lake Willoughby. We were able to book a cabin (rustic, but accordingly priced with 3 beds, a mini-fridge, and ceiling fan) at White Caps and were very pleased with our experience. The sites were clean, neighbors pleasant and respectful, bathrooms new and accommodating, and the lake and nearby hikes were perfect for what we were looking for. If you're looking to party, have a big group get-together, or have lots of space for cornhole and a bonfire, this probably isn't the place for you. It's a family friendly campground with lots of seasonals and great access to all the nearby attractions. read more

My review is simply for their kayak service. My sister and I searched a long time to find a quick, convenient, affordable kayak rental place. White Caps is it. Not only is the price lower than other nearby kayak rental businesses, but they are low key and hands off. My sister and I are both pretty experienced and it was nice to be given the space and freedom to do our own thing. All we had to do was pay and carry the kayaks ten feet across the street to the spectacular clear waters of Lake Willoughby. It was a very enjoyable three hours on the lake. Overall, the experience was really good. If you are looking for a hassle free kayak rental situation, try out White Caps. read more

Overlooking the beauty of Lake Willoughby is a cockroach of a "Campground." Camping here looks more like a taped off block of sleeping ground to a Lalapalooza music festival. We arrived to a site full of trash and a spot so small I could barely fit my car and a tent. The sorry excuse for firepits are rusted old vehicle wheels with no grilling top. The roadway to the top sites is so prone to erosion that vehicles can't reach them and the lean-tos looked frightening. The air was plagued with mesquitos and black flies so bad it drove my dog nuts. The worst was the direspectful French Canadian mountain bikers who screamed, partied and pissed just feet from our tent it till 2am, I could smell it. I went to complain to the hosts who barely keep the place together. The bathrooms are full of bugs and there's no phone reception. You're best plan would be to VoiP call through your phone from the spotty wifi at the general store which has slim pickings. The firewood for sale was bark scrap and overpriced. If you;re looking for nice camping experience look elswhere and if you can't find anything consider a different plan for vacation. Certianly the worst campground I've ever been to. They get two stars because the surrounding nature is beautiful. read more
