Beautiful place to visit I visited Lake Waramaug State Park recently and had a fantastic experience. The lake is absolutely stunning—calm, clear, and surrounded by gorgeous rolling hills. It’s a perfect spot for kayaking or just relaxing by the water. The picnic areas were clean and well-maintained, and there was plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the view. We also explored a bit of the campground. The sites are spacious and nicely shaded, and it looked like a great place to spend the night. There’s a good mix of families, couples, and solo campers, and it felt very safe and welcoming. The park staff was friendly, and the bathrooms were in decent condition for a state park. I highly recommend visiting, especially in the fall when the foliage is at its peak. Can’t wait to come back!

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.
