- January 24, 2013"Branbury State Park is a beautiful park. Lake Dunmore is beautiful and it is great for kids of all ages. Lots of sand for the kids to play, large grass area for all kinds of activities. The camping sites are really nice, well maintained. Restrooms are well kept! Love camping here as well as just day trips to the beach."- mommyto2

- August 18, 2011"We really enjoyed Branbury State Park! Coming from Chittenden County, it's a bit of a hike for a day trip, but we felt it was well worth it. We went with several kids, in addition to our own, and they all loved the park. It was very clean and well maintained including the bathrooms!. There was a nice sandy area for the kids to play in, and the water got deeper gradually enough that even the youngest 18 months was able to walk out pretty far. The only downside is that it gets very crowded. I would definitely recommend this park to families, and making the trip down there from Chittenden County is a good excuse to stop at the AW stand on the way home!"- mommydags
