Great location on the shores of Lake Champlain. The trail to button point and the nature center is very nice. But, one thing to keep in mind for this park in particular is the pool capacity and life guard staffing. We recently camped here and it was hot and muggy, and the pool was understaffed and there was a waiting line to get into the pool. Day use people were still allowed to come in at least for portions of the day which meant some campers had to wait to use the pool. And, there was an accident in the pool which caused another 24-hr closure. Just be aware the pool might be full and/or closed during hot spells and come prepared with inflatable pools or squirt guns just in case.
