We were pleasantly surprised to find that the park has a few sites out in an open grassy area; most VT parks we've been to are quite dark in the woods. Site 15 suited us just fine. Date of visit: Jul 2008 |

Site 18 is another of the sunny sites to choose from. |
|
|
And a few more sunny ones: 17a, 17, and 16. |
|
|
Site 2 is much more typical of VT state parks - well-shaded. This is is also quite private. |
|
|
Site 1 is a smaller site that still has a little sun. |
|
|
Site 5 is the only pull-through site. |
|
|
Campers can also stay in one of 8 lean-to shelters. |

While on our walk around the campground, we spotted this bruin taking a slow stroll along the road. |

A short walk from the campground takes you to this former fire lookout tower. It is in excellent condition and you can climb to the top, from which you have a fantastic panorama of the mountains. I was even able to pick out Mt Washington. |
|
|
I spent about an hour and half up in the tower at sunset. |

Allis State Park, VT
Allis SP is a small out-of-the-way gem of a park, located atop a hill in Brookfield VT, a little south of Montpelier and Barre. One climbs a steep hill on a good gravel road about a mile, to an elevation of 2000'.
