Clean. Pristine. Quiet. Not crowded. The water is so refreshing and clean. And is not far from the tri state area. Especially coming from nyc. You can rent some boats or take your own inflatable out in to the lake or just take a dip in the water. Highly recommend visiting here it is a breath of fresh air. Come prepared to stay long cause you will feel so at peace.

May be my favorite place to camp... certainly in CT if you wake up with the sun the sunrise over the lake is fabulous. It's clean and well maintained. Lots.of day trippers... Nice safe bike road around the lake. Campsites have almost all grass which is wonderful vs gravel or dirt (comfy and clean) but still plenty of shade. Generally very well placed campsites. And a few cabins. No dogs not obvious alcohol (beer in a cup seems fine)

Wonderful little park right next to the lake. We didn’t have much time to explore as it was cold and we were just scooping it out for nicer days but we were very pleased with what we found. We will definitely be returning to spend the day and camp! Also there are a bunch of picnic tables by the lake for a fun afternoon!!!

A beautiful park right on the lake. We saw geese, ducks and herons. Herons. Unfortunately, the weekend we were there at poured buckets so we would like to return. Nice sites on the grass with most having a view of the lake. Bathroom was fine with free showers.

It is a beautiful place for a relaxing day with some member of the family. We spent the day grilling meat and vegetables. I really appreciate the visitors behavior and the level of maturity show while sharing outdoor space. I also enjoyed very much that I didn't have to listen loudly music blasting the whole area, people exaggerating laugh, neither loudly conversation. It was magical and quiet. There are public restroom nearby the camping area and near to the parking area as well. There is a camping side only available for members and or by reservacion with the park authorities. The only cons is the designated beach or swimming space with lifeguard, it is too small, like really small. You are permitted to swim in other area of the lake but at your own risk.
