Public Meeting: Lake St. Catherine Camping Loop Proposal

The Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation is holding a public meeting to present plans for an additional camping loop at Lake St. Catherine State Park, located in Poultney, Vermont.

The meeting will be held from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm on August 29, 2024, at Lake St. Catherine State Park in the Nature Center.

The plan reviews the opportunity to provide more camping sites at the park to support new recreational activities including a disc golf course and mountain bike trail access. The drafted plan proposes a new camping loop, which provides the opportunity for new services like hookups for waste, electric, and water.

Plan highlights include:

  • 21 back-in RV sites (minimum electrical hookups)
  • 15 tent sites
  • More formalized circulation pattern to maximize the number of RV sites
  • Maintains existing vehicular circulation from existing east campground loop (sites 1-22), but maintains single entry and exit points
  • Minimal impact on existing east loop campsites
  • Separates campsite types (RV, tent)
  • Creates central common space with bathhouse, playground, and open lawn areas within RV camp area, and designates quieter tent sites along the southern edge

The public is invited to attend the presentation and view a draft plan of the proposed expansion. A public comment period begins on August 15, 2024, and closes on September 12, 2024.

Please direct comments and questions to contact Rick Hedding, Parks Regional Manager, at rick.hedding@vermont.gov or 802-770-0297. If emailing, please include “Lake St. Catherine Proposed Design Feedback” in the email subject.
