About NORTH HARTLAND LAKE BEACH (VT)

Federal campground in New Hampshire.

North Hartland Lake Beach offers a scenic camping experience in the heart of New England's beautiful Upper Valley region. Located where Vermont and New Hampshire meet, this public campground provides easy access to one of the area's most picturesque natural settings. The lake itself is a centerpiece of outdoor recreation, with its clear waters surrounded by the rolling hills and forests that define this corner of New England.

The Upper Valley is known for its charming character and outdoor-oriented lifestyle. The region seamlessly blends natural beauty with cultural attractions and small-town hospitality. Campers will find themselves well-positioned to explore hiking trails, scenic drives along the Connecticut River, and the vibrant communities that dot the landscape. The changing seasons paint the area in different hues, from summer's lush green canopy to autumn's spectacular foliage display that draws visitors from across the country.

For those seeking water-based activities, the lake provides opportunities for swimming, boating, and fishing. The surrounding area offers numerous trails for hiking and biking, with difficulty levels ranging from easy family walks to more challenging backcountry adventures. The peaceful setting makes it ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to disconnect from the hustle of everyday life.

The region's cultural scene is surprisingly robust for its size. Nearby towns feature local restaurants, shops, and galleries that showcase the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of the community. The area also has a strong agricultural tradition, with farms and orchards offering seasonal produce and agritourism experiences. The Dartmouth College presence in nearby Hanover adds an educational and cultural dimension to the region.

This location works well for families seeking a slower pace, retirees exploring New England, outdoor enthusiasts pursuing active recreation, and anyone wanting to experience authentic New England character. The public campground setting provides an accessible entry point to enjoying all that this distinctive region has to offer.

This is a pretty cool area I've now been here twice. The first time I saw some Bald Eagles flying around. There are usually a bunch of turtles on the logs. There's a bunch of people who do clean up after their dogs which is nice and others I wish would clean up after their dogs.

A nice walk and a good place to bring dogs. There's a playground, plenty of picnic tables and grills. They usually have bathrooms on site and the beach is clean. The view from the top of the dam is my favorite part though.

Google says open until 8:00 P.M. Gate was closed and sign said gate closes at 3:30 P.M. We could have been saved a trip, if the listing was correct.
