Emerald Lake State Park

Emerald Lake State Park, in a marble valley near East Dorset, centers on a small spring-fed lake with a sand beach and boat rentals. Its campground has 102 sites - 43 for tents or RVs, 22 tent-only, and 37 lean-tos - none with electric or water hookups; an RV sanitary dump station is available. One electric pavilion is also on site but not counted in the total above.

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 allowed at this campground on a leash (max 10 feet) or confined, for a $3/pet/night fee, per Vermont State Parks' statewide camping policy; pets must be vaccinated and kept from excessive barking.
