Traveling to Arlington by RV

Route 7A serves as Arlington's main motorhome corridor, running north-south through town and connecting to Route 313 westbound toward Cambridge, New York. This scenic route handles RVs of all sizes comfortably, with good sight lines and minimal steep grades. From the south, you'll access Arlington via Route 7A from Bennington, about a 25-minute drive through rolling farmland.

The closest interstate access comes from I-91 via Route 9 west through Brattleboro and Wilmington, then north on Route 7A -- roughly 90 minutes total. From the west, Route 313 connects to New York's Route 22, making Arlington accessible for RVers coming from the Albany area.

Watch for narrow bridges on some of the back roads leading to campgrounds, particularly the smaller routes off Route 7A. Most Motorhome parks provide clear directions that keep you on the wider roads, but GPS sometimes routes larger rigs down unsuitable lanes. Vermont's covered bridges in this area have posted weight limits -- stick to the main routes for safe passage.

Overnight parking options are limited to private campgrounds, as Vermont doesn't allow overnight stays at rest areas. The nearest Walmart in Bennington allows overnight parking, but call ahead to confirm current policies. During peak foliage season in late September and early October, book campsite spots well in advance as the entire region fills up quickly.

Dump Station Costs in Arlington

Of the several stations in Arlington, a portion% are free while a portion% charge a fee. This reflects Vermont's general pattern where smaller towns rely on user fees to maintain their motorhome facilities rather than subsidizing them through tax revenue.

Expect to pay $8-12 for service point access at most locations, with some campgrounds charging up to $15 during peak foliage season. These prices include water for rinsing, though the quality and pressure vary by location. Private Motorhome parks typically offer the best-maintained facilities but charge accordingly.

Some campgrounds waive dump fees if you're purchasing fuel or staying overnight, so ask about package deals when you arrive. The state park system in Vermont generally charges non-campers for service point use, but their facilities are usually well-maintained and worth the fee.

Consider timing your dumps with other services -- many RVers combine dumping with propane fills or supply runs to justify the stop. During busy weekends, some locations implement time limits to keep lines moving, so have your gear ready and tanks properly prepared before pulling up to the station.

Explore the Arlington Area

Hit the dump stations early morning or late afternoon to avoid the rush -- most RVers dump when they're checking out around 10-11 AM. Bring your own rinse water since not all stations have great water pressure, and the municipal water here has a slight mineral taste that some folks prefer to avoid for tank rinsing.

Fuel up at the Irving station on Route 7A before heading to more remote areas, as gas stations become scarce once you head into the Green Mountain back roads. The station also carries basic motorhome supplies and has decent access for larger rigs. For propane, Tractor Supply in nearby Manchester offers competitive prices and easy motorhome access.

If you need motorhome repairs, Manchester Motorhome Center about 20 minutes north handles most issues and keeps common parts in stock. They're particularly good with electrical problems and slide-out repairs. Call ahead since they book up during busy season.

The service point at Camping On The Battenkill has excellent access and a good rinse setup, but their driveway entrance is a bit tight for rigs over 35 feet. Take it slow on the turn-in. Local traffic picks up significantly during leaf season, so plan extra time for getting around town between late September and mid-October.
