Lake Shaftsbury State Park

Lake Shaftsbury State Park, north of Bennington, is built mainly around a sandy swim beach, boat rentals, and a large event pavilion. Its only real camping product is 3 group lean-tos; 1 electric cottage and 1 electric pavilion are also on site but are lodging/event rentals, not campsites, and are not counted in the total above. PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED anywhere at this specific park - a named, published exception, unlike every other Vermont State Park campground.

Vermont Dept. of Forests, Parks and Recreation statewide camping fee schedule (vtstateparks.com/fees.html), per night, shown as VT Resident / Non-Resident: Tent/RV sites $20/$38; Lean-to sites $30/$49 (Burton Island's lean-tos are a published exception at $40/$60); Group camping $6/$10 per person per night (8-person minimum). No separate rate is published for remote/boat-in sites - the standard Tent/RV or Lean-to rate above most likely applies, but this isn't stated explicitly. A $2/night surcharge applies at some "prime" sites; $8/person/night for additional occupants beyond 4 (8-person max per site); $3/pet/night; an $8/site non-refundable reservation fee; firewood $9/bundle; trash $6/bag. Pets are NOT allowed at this specific park - a named, statewide-published exception, unlike every other Vermont State Park campground in this file, which allow leashed pets for a nightly fee.
