181 Vermont RV Dump Stations - Sani-Dumps Directory

Sanidumps lists {{stationCount}} dump stations across Vermont. Coverage follows the I-89 and I-91 corridors, with facilities at state parks and private campgrounds throughout the Green Mountains. The Northeast Kingdom and remote mountain areas have fewer options, so plan your dump stops when traveling those regions.

Currently {{freeCount}} stations in Vermont are listed as free. Most facilities charge for dump access. State park dump stations are the most affordable paid option, and some municipal wastewater facilities allow RV dump access. Check individual listings for current pricing and seasonal availability, as some facilities close during winter months.

No. The Smugglers' Notch section of Route 108 between Stowe and Jeffersonville is legally closed to vehicles over 24 feet long. The road has extremely tight switchbacks, narrow passages between rock walls, and overhanging cliffs that make it physically impossible for RVs. Use I-89 or Route 15 as alternatives to connect the Stowe area to points north.

Late September through mid-October for fall foliage is the most popular time, but campgrounds book months in advance. June through August offers warm weather and the full camping season. May is pleasant but some higher-elevation campgrounds may not be open yet. Avoid mud season (late March through April) when unpaved roads become impassable.

The interstates and major state highways handle all RV sizes. Route 100 and Route 7 are manageable for most rigs with some tight spots. Many Vermont roads are narrow two-lanes with sharp curves and steep grades through mountain gaps. Some state parks have size restrictions due to tight access roads. Always check site and road dimensions before booking if your rig exceeds 35 feet.

North Beach Campground in Burlington itself offers lakefront camping within the city limits, though spots fill fast. Grand Isle State Park on the Lake Champlain islands is about 30 minutes north and has dump access. Several private campgrounds along Route 7 and I-89 south of Burlington offer full hookups and dump stations with easy access to the city.

Policies vary by park. Some allow day-use dumping for a fee ($5-10), while others restrict access to registered campers only. Call the specific park before driving there. State parks typically operate late May through Columbus Day, so winter access isn't available.

Yes, but they're harder to access due to crowds. Municipal facilities in smaller towns like Hardwick and Enosburg Falls offer free service year-round. Arrive early in the day during peak foliage weeks (late September through mid-October) to avoid lines at popular free locations.

Route 100 has decent coverage through private campgrounds, particularly near Killington, Stowe, and Waterbury. Stations appear every 15-25 miles in the central section. Remember that Route 100's tight curves and mountain grades make it challenging for RVs over 30 feet, so plan accordingly.

Yes. The Burlington area maintains several year-round options including commercial campgrounds and truck stops. North Beach Campground operates seasonally, but nearby private facilities in Colchester and South Burlington stay open through winter. Check our directory for current seasonal status before heading out.

Most sani-dump stations operate first-come, first-served. However, if you're dumping at a campground where you're not staying overnight, calling ahead confirms they allow drive-up service and checks current hours. Some smaller operations have limited daily hours, especially in shoulder seasons.

Private campgrounds surrounding the forest provide the most reliable access. Towns like Rochester, Hancock, and Jamaica have facilities within a few miles of forest access points. Remember that forest campgrounds themselves typically lack dump stations, so plan to visit nearby private or municipal facilities.

Drive-up dump fees at private Vermont campgrounds typically run $10-15. Some charge $5 if you're quick, while premium locations near ski areas may ask $20. State park fees vary but generally fall in the $5-10 range when day-use dumping is permitted. Municipal stations often provide free service.
