It's a good thing for the Vermont state parks that you're looking for dry camping, since that's all they offer. (I'm afraid I'm not so much up on New Hampshire state parks, but there are certainly some lovely areas there.)

I'm not sure what makes a park impressive to you, but I might consider Ascutney SP. The campground (at the base of the mountain) is rather typical, with well-separated sites in the woods. If you hike or drive to the summit of the mountain, though, there's quite a little network of trails with some impressive views in all directions, including a 360 degree view from an observation tower.

The various campgrounds around Groton State Forest also have access to a nice network of trails through the woods, rather more level hiking, and one or two peaks with some views. It's a pleasant wilderness area.

Queechee state park has the gorge there, not the largest gorge around but a decent one. It's also close to the VINS raptor center.

I know you didn't ask about them, but upstate New York has some truly spectacular state parks, such as Watkins Glen and Letchworth.

This should help for New Hampshire: https://www.nhstateparks.org/

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

Has a lazy river that you can go smimming, we bring beach chairs, innertubes. Picture something out of a Norman Rockwell painting!

Scenic rail trail & moderate hiking at the campground, kayaking near by! :C

Too many geezers, self appointed moderators, experts, and disappearing posts for me. Enjoy. How many times can the same thing be rehashed over and over?

Hampton Beach State park, New Hampshire. Great RV camping, right on the beach. They have many sites with full hook ups, boondocking sites as well.
