Great camping experience. The small loop is quiet during the week. The larger loops, not so much.

Awesome! It is one of the most beautiful and amazing campsites that gives you access to the great river! You'll have plenty of choices to enjoy in the water/river! (Tubeing, fishing, ...) very clean and organized restroom services! Less than 10 minutes (drive) to Kent Waterfall state park! DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!!

Direct view of the Housatonic River on the left. Good for Fall views too. Picnic benches on the right and cars can be parked on the lawn right next to them. No grills or restrooms.

I’m not a big camper (actually haven’t been in maybe 10 years?) and this was perfect. They have nice campsites, with distance from other groups although you are still close enough to feel like you aren’t secluded. The bathrooms have toilets, showers, running water, and behind that area is a sink to clean your dishes. We enjoyed site #42 because you can walk right down to the river. It’s a well maintained CT state park and I’ll definitely return.

One of the best spots in CT to camp along the water! The campground staff in the office were very helpful. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean and well-sanitized, following COVID-19 protocol.
