Bennington

Bennington Recreation Center

This is a really nice community center that offers free showers to guests who only want to shower and use nothing else in the facility. You do need to check-in with the front desk, register, and show your ID. Very hot water with great pressure and clean throughout. Private stalls. Closed on Sundays.

Berlin

Maplewood Vermont Travelers Service Center

Inside of the single restroom, you’ll find a hot shower that’s open to the public. You get a free pass if you fill your tank with diesel, otherwise it’s $10. Very clean, updated facility.

Burlington

Greater Burlington YMCA

Several hot water showers located at the YMCA in the downtown area of Burlington. They make you sign a waiver and show an ID to check-in. A little bit dirty but not too bad.

East Burke

Mike’s Tiki Bar

Located right outside of Mike’s Tiki Bar, you’ll find two showers that provide nice hot water for a cheap price. Coin operated timer machine beeps when it has 1 minute to go, so the shower doesn’t turn off unexpectantly. Closed in the winter months.

Essex Junction

The EDGE Sports & Fitness

If you purchase a day pass at this gym, you can use the showers, which are very nice. Private stalls, endless hot water, great pressure. Gym and Fitness center is very upscale and tidy.

Newport

Marina Showers

Located on the side of the Harbormaster’s Office, you’ll find public restrooms. Inside, there is a shower in both rooms that’s relatively clean and provides very hot water. Completely free to use during the day.

Middlebury

Middlebury Recreation Center

If you check-in with the front office, you can typically shower here without paying anything. Excellent hot water with great pressure. We suggest calling ahead before you arrive, just to make sure it’s still free. Clean facility with friendly employees.

Peru

Hapgood Pond Campground

Located within the campground are free warm water showers open to the public. Although typically closed during the winter, it’s accessible every other time of the year. The water can be cold at times, but it’s free, fairly clean, and there’s no time limits. Not a bad place to wash up.

Springfield

IRVING 24

Standard truck stop style showers open to the general public. Not the cleanest but the water is very hot.

Stowe

Smugglers’ Notch State Park Campground

Coin operated shower inside both the men’s and women’s restrooms. Open to the public; you don’t have to be staying at the campground to use the facility. Smaller and somewhat dirty, but it’s cheap and the water is hot!

Shower-only pass available at this upscale indoor swimming pool. The entire place is beautiful and well kept; very clean. Lots of hot water, multiple private stalls with spacious areas.

Wells River

P&H Truck Shop

Although the showers are smaller than most truck stops, the water is hot and plentiful. Friendly staff and clean overall.

Wilmington

Nice hot showers located within the State Park. While you do need to pay the State Park entrance fee, you can access the coin operated showers near the campground. Only a couple to use, but they’re clean and private. Ample hot water with good pressure. Takes quarters.
