The best camping near Sizerville State Park

You want a picnic? We’ll give you a picnic—just come to Sizerville State Park and take your pick from the more than 200 wooden tables and benches scattered around the grounds of this 386-acre plot of perfection. Nom it up, then channel your old swim coach and instruct all your peeps to wait 30 minutes before cannonballing into the 105-foot pool. Unless it’s off-season. That could be painful. But, we’ve got alternatives!—work off the marshmallow kabobs on one of the five miles of loop trails for varied levels of hikers, or hop on a snowmobile or a pair of cross-country skis and see all the sights of this beautiful space.

Anglers, hunters, and trappers will find their happy place here at Sizerville and campers equipped with both RVs and tents are welcome year-round. Come fall, you could find your next handmade gem at the Annual Autumn Festival, or in the warmer months, you can pop your head into the Environmental Education Building to check out the many species of butterflies that this park’s native plants attract. And, all that? That’s just the start of it. We’ll let nature do the rest.

The best time to visit Sizerville State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the park's full beauty is on display. Winter can be harsh, with heavy snowfall limiting access to certain areas, making it less ideal for visitors.
