Liz and I stayed at Grand Isle State Campground in 2007.

Grass sites were $13 and lean toos were $25. Lean toos have their own water access (nice sunrise) though some have a steep drop off and all have rocky ledgy beaches. The camp does have a boat launch and the causeway and or Burlington is within a 30 minute drive. I heard Mallard Bay is a nice place to see Wild Life.

In looking at the state campgrounds I did see Knights Island is a camp in which you only get to by boat.
