Prouty Beach & Campground

Prouty Beach & Campground sits on 36 acres along the shore of Lake Memphremagog in Newport, Vermont, with views across the water to downtown Newport. Just off I-91 and less than a mile from Main Street, the park is a longtime local favorite for both day visits and overnight stays, offering more than 75 tent and RV campsites alongside a beachfront cabin that sleeps four with a full bed, bunk beds, a small table, a refrigerator, and a microwave. For gatherings, the beach-side pavilion puts guests right on the water, with power, a large charcoal cooking pit, and more than a dozen picnic tables suited to company parties, family reunions, and outdoor picnics or barbecues in the spring, summer, and fall; optional tent sides help protect the space if the weather turns. A smaller 30x30 tent shelter with six to eight picnic tables is available for rent from June through September, set near the park's restrooms, playground, tennis, and basketball courts. Beyond its event spaces, the park includes docks and a swimming area, horseshoe pits, a disc golf course, walking paths, shuffleboard courts, and four tennis courts, plus on-site washers and dryers, hot showers, and free Wi-Fi for overnight guests. Primitive sites along the Newport Recreational Bike Path also serve backpackers and bikepackers traveling the seven miles to the Canadian border.
