Nelson's Family Campground

58 RV Sites

Nelson's Family Campground in East Hampton, Connecticut, offers 58 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Standard back-in sites join a grey-water-discharge-only category, with an outdoor pool, beach, ball field, craft room, and recreation center on a wooded central Connecticut property. Fifty-eight back-in sites run in standard and grey water discharge only categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp with cable TV, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to check before booking: service is 50-amp throughout, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and the grey-water-discharge-only sites accept grey water at the site but not black — plan a dump station trip accordingly. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and RV storage handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a pond supporting fishing, swimming, and water sports. A recreation center, craft room, arcade, ball field, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, bocce ball, gaga ball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, on-site dining, and a snack bar fill the grounds, with live music and planned activities through the season. A state park is nearby. Middlesex County sits between Hartford and the shoreline, with the Connecticut River close. Summer is the season in New England. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Skyridge Trails Campground

3 Cabins

SkyRidge Trails Campground in Torrington, Connecticut, opened in 2024 as the newest addition to northwestern Connecticut's outdoor recreation landscape, bringing a thoughtfully designed mix of RV sites and rental cabins to the scenic hill country of Litchfield County in a setting where peaceful forests, rolling meadows, and a freshwater pond create the natural environment that defines the southern New England camping experience. As a newly constructed property, SkyRidge benefits from modern infrastructure design, purpose-built amenities, and the operational freshness that comes from a property built from the ground up with contemporary camping preferences in mind. The campground's site mix includes both full hookup RV pads and comfortable cabin rentals that provide prepared accommodations for guests who prefer not to bring their own gear, and the property's facilities include a pond, beach access, a general store for essential supplies, and golf cart rentals for exploring the campground's terrain. The activities roster is curated for multi-generational family engagement: a jumping pillow, gaga ball court, pickleball courts, and planned organized activities give children and adults alike structured options that supplement the natural recreation available in the surrounding landscape. Walking trails winding through the property's wooded and meadow terrain add a nature discovery dimension to the guest experience. Litchfield County's landscape is the most rural and topographically varied in Connecticut, where the Taconic Range and Berkshire foothills create a hilly, forested terrain unlike the coastal plain and river valley lowlands that dominate much of the state. Torrington is the county's largest city and commercial hub, providing grocery stores, fuel, and dining services within a short drive of the campground, while the surrounding countryside offers the quiet, low-development character that distinguishes northwestern Connecticut from the more densely populated I-95 and I-91 corridors. The Litchfield Hills region surrounding Torrington encompasses some of New England's most celebrated small towns, with Washington, Kent, and Litchfield itself offering antique shops, galleries, farm-to-table restaurants, and the kind of carefully preserved village character that draws urban New Yorkers and Bostonians to weekend retreats in this corner of Connecticut. Housatonic Meadows State Park and Kent Falls State Park provide hiking access to the Housatonic River gorge and one of Connecticut's most dramatic waterfall cascades within a short drive. The Appalachian Trail crosses Litchfield County through Bear Mountain and the Taconic ridges, offering day hiking access to sections of the trail with Connecticut's most significant topographic relief. SkyRidge Trails operates seasonally from spring through fall in Litchfield County's four-season climate, with summer's warmer temperatures driving peak demand for the pond swimming, pickleball, and outdoor programming that define the core experience. Fall's apple orchards, farm stands, and foliage color in the surrounding hills create compelling conditions for a second seasonal surge that attracts guests specifically interested in the New England harvest and color experience. As a new property, SkyRidge continues to refine its programming and facilities based on early guest experience, and the campground's modern infrastructure and scenic hill country position give it a strong foundation for developing into a premier northwestern Connecticut camping destination.

White Pines Campsites

143 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites, 1 Yurt

White Pines Campsites in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, offers 143 RV sites, three cabins, 11 tent sites, and a yurt in Litchfield County's northwest hill country, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 44 feet. Deluxe and standard categories join an outdoor pool, beach, recreation center, craft room, and arcade. One hundred forty-three sites run in standard and deluxe categories, carrying water and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 44 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station, and the 44-foot cap rules out larger rigs. RVs are also required to be in good condition, generally within a 10-year model range, so clear older coaches with the park first. Three cabins, 11 tent sites, and a yurt round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a pond supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. A recreation center, craft room, arcade, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and snack bar fill the rest, with live music and picnicking through the season. The American Legion and Peoples State Forests surround the property, with Lake McDonough, the Saville Dam, and the Farmington River close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

River Bend Campground

88 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites, 4 Tiny Houses

River Bend Campground in Sterling, Connecticut, offers 88 RV sites, 14 cabin and tiny house units, and eight tent sites on the Moosup River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet.

Eighty-eight sites span full hookup 30-amp, full hookup 30/50-amp, water-and-electric 20-amp RV, water-and-electric 20-amp tent, and water-and-electric 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site, and note the 40-foot cap. Fourteen cabins and tiny houses and eight tent sites round out the lodging. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and a snack bar handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and river beach anchor the summer, with the Moosup carrying fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. Mini-golf, gem mining, an arcade, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, a playground, pavilion, food trucks, and picnicking fill the rest, with DJ dances, bingo, horseshoes, and cornhole tournaments on the weekend calendar. The address is 41 Pond Street in Oneco, in the Quiet Corner of northeastern Connecticut — mill villages, stone walls, and hardwood forest, close to Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, Providence, and the shoreline. Summer is the season. Reserve well ahead.

Sun Retreats Long Beach Island

3 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 20 Tent Sites, 1 Yurt

There's a special kind of New Jersey Shore magic waiting just ten miles from the ocean — where the summer crowds thin out enough to actually relax, but the beach is still close enough for a morning run to the waves. Sun Retreats Long Beach Island in Barnegat Township captures that sweet spot perfectly, delivering resort-quality camping with genuine seaside accessibility that has made it one of the Shore's most beloved family destinations. More than 225 spacious sites are laid out across the property, each equipped with water hookups, a charcoal grill, a fire ring, and a picnic table for classic campground evenings. Full hookups accommodate RV travelers, and for those who prefer a roof overhead, yurts and cabin rentals offer a comfortable alternative. The grounds stay secure through a gated entrance, and the on-site store and recycling facilities handle the practical side of a longer stay. Sun Retreats Long Beach Island earns its resort reputation through an extensive lineup of activities and amenities. A refreshing outdoor pool draws crowds on warm afternoons, and the 18-hole miniature golf course provides friendly competition for all ages. A jumping pillow delivers the kind of boundless fun that wears out even the most energetic kids. Basketball, volleyball, and shuffleboard courts keep active campers moving, while the nature trails and playground offer quieter ways to fill the day. Laundry facilities, a dog park, and a dedicated dump station handle the logistical needs that make an extended stay comfortable. The campground's recreation staff organize a full schedule of events and activities throughout the season, keeping the fun going even on the rare overcast day. The beaches of Long Beach Island — the 18-mile barrier island famous among New Jersey Shore devotees — are just ten miles from camp, making daily beach days an easy habit. The island's towns of Barnegat Light, Beach Haven, and Ship Bottom offer seafood restaurants, boutique shopping, and the iconic Barnegat Lighthouse. Atlantic City's casinos and boardwalk amusements are also accessible for those who want a different kind of shore experience. Amusement parks, waterparks, and family attractions fill the greater Shore region throughout the summer season. The Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in nearby Galloway Township offers exceptional birdwatching along the barrier island coast for those who want a quieter counterpoint to beach days. Sun Retreats Long Beach Island is open seasonally and tends to book quickly for summer weekends — planning ahead is strongly advised for peak weeks in July and August. The resort caters beautifully to families with younger children, offering a schedule of organized activities and on-site entertainment throughout the season. Whether your group is here for the beach, the pool, the games, or simply the chance to breathe ocean air and make memories, this property delivers the full Shore experience at a comfortable, social campground setting. Reserve early — summer weekends on the Jersey Shore go fast, and Long Beach Island is a destination that never falls out of favor.

Kittatinny River Beach Campground

Kittatinny River Beach Campground in Milford, Pennsylvania, offers full-hookup RV sites, cabins, and tent camping across 18 acres directly on the Delaware River, with wooded, open field, and riverfront configurations. Its parent operation, Kittatinny Canoes, runs the region's most extensive fleet of rafts, kayaks, canoes, and tubes. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric in back-in and pull-through configurations with fire pits and picnic tables, alongside cabins and tent sites across more than 160 positions in wooded, field, and riverfront settings. A general store, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The river operation is what sets this apart. Kittatinny Canoes offers self-guided rafts, kayaks, canoes, and tubes for trips of every length and difficulty on the Upper Delaware, which eliminates the outfitter logistics that usually complicate a river trip — you book the boat and the campsite together. A beach sits on the property, with swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and birding from the water and a pond and playground on the grounds. The campground sits three miles from the borough of Milford at the northern tip of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with mountains and river frontage on every side. Summer river season is decisively the peak — this is a water-recreation property first, and demand tracks the tubing and rafting calendar. Reserve well ahead for July and August weekends, when the Upper Delaware corridor fills.

Quinebaug Cove Campground

30 RV Sites

On a 420-acre reservoir in Brimfield, Massachusetts—in the rolling woodlands of the Quinebaug River watershed between the Pioneer Valley and the Connecticut border—Quinebaug Cove Campground delivers a full-service lakeside camping experience in one of the most scenically pleasant corners of inland New England. With a 60-foot in-ground pool, a five-mile canoe and kayak trail, beachfront with BBQ grills, full hookup sites, cabins, and a fishing lake that produces bass, trout, pickerel, and Northern Pike of record size, the campground serves families who want lakeside camping with comprehensive on-site programming without driving to the coast. The 420-acre reservoir is the anchor; the facilities ensure that guests who spend the whole week on the property never find themselves without something to do. Accommodation options include RV sites with full hookups covering water, electric, sewer, and cable TV service, tent sites, and cozy cabin rentals—a range that allows the campground to serve different travel styles within the same property. A 60-foot in-ground pool serves guests who want controlled aquatic recreation, and the reservoir's swimming beach with barbecue grills provides the open-water alternative for guests who prefer the lake. A five-mile canoe and kayak trail explores the reservoir and its coves, and a free boat ramp gives guests with their own watercraft immediate water access. Shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, a playground, and horseshoe pits provide organized outdoor recreation alongside the water activities. The recreation hall—equipped with an Xbox, Wii, and a kids' play area—handles rainy-day entertainment for families. Free cable TV at sites, free WiFi in the rec hall, and a full-service camp store with laundry facilities complete the on-site infrastructure. The reservoir's fishing is the campground's most enthusiastic draw for a specific subset of guests. Quinebaug Cove's 420 acres supports eleven species of fish, with Northern Pike of genuinely record size attracting dedicated anglers who have discovered that the reservoir's productivity in this species is exceptional compared to most New England lakes. Bass, stocked trout, and pickerel round out the fishing calendar across the season, and the free boat ramp makes launching practical for guests with their own fishing boats. The reservoir's wooded shoreline and quiet coves provide the visual backdrop that makes a long morning on the water genuinely enjoyable regardless of whether the fish are cooperating. Brimfield's most famous claim on the regional visitor calendar is the Brimfield Antique Show—held three times per year in May, July, and September—which transforms the Route 20 corridor into one of the largest outdoor antique markets in the world, with thousands of dealers and 130-plus fields drawing buyers from across New England and beyond. The timing makes Quinebaug Cove a natural base for antique show visitors who want campground pricing rather than Pioneer Valley hotel rates during the high-demand show weekends. Sturbridge Village, one of the most visited living history museums in New England, is accessible for a full-day family excursion to 19th-century New England life. Quinebaug Cove Campground is open seasonally and fills quickly for summer holiday weekends and Brimfield Antique Show weeks. Weekend programming including hayrides and organized activities for children and adults adds a social calendar dimension that keeps repeat-visit families finding something new each season. Reserve the lake-view hookup site early for summer, bring the fishing rods and the kayak, and let the 420-acre reservoir make the case for inland New England camping.

One hundred thirty-nine sites span back-in, water-and-electric back-in, lakeview back-in, and Cosmic Canine pull-thru categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 100 feet.

A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side.

Fifty-eight back-in sites run in creekside standard, deluxe, and standard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20 and 30-amp, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around before booking: the 30-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern coaches, and service tops out at 30-amp. The creekside category sits along a hemlock-shaded trout stream and is the one to request. Two hundred seventy tent sites make this overwhelmingly a tent property — a scale of tent camping almost no other campground matches. Thirteen cabins round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and portable toilets handle the practical side. A daily resort fee covers the playground, bathhouses, and on-site boating amenities. A beach and pond anchor the recreation, with the Delaware carrying canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. Walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, on-site dining, a bar, and productive birding fill the rest.
