Cozy Hills Campground

42 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 9 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Cozy Hills Campground sits in the Litchfield Hills of northwestern Connecticut, a region of rolling hardwood forests, colonial-era villages, and clear-water lakes that represents one of New England's most well-preserved rural landscapes. The cozy hills campground combines a comprehensive family activity roster with the natural setting of Connecticut's most scenic interior county, making it a year-round destination for campers from the New York metro area and the Connecticut River valley alike. The campground offers full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp service, water and sewer, and WiFi throughout the property, alongside RV rentals and cabin accommodations for guests who arrive without their own equipment. Recreation options are exceptional in breadth: a pool, fishing pond, three playgrounds, mini golf, a mega slide, jump pad, Gaga ball, BMX bike track, outdoor laser tag, and archery cover active entertainment across all age groups. Hay rides, campfire programs, and fishing round out the more traditional activities, while an on-site restaurant, arcade, and general store handle food and entertainment needs without requiring a trip off-property. Propane fill, firewood, and a dump station address RV logistics, and a dog park accommodates traveling pets. The Litchfield Hills landscape surrounding the campground is defined by second-growth forests of oak, maple, birch, and hickory, with the rolling terrain of the Berkshire foothills creating a scenic backdrop that peaks during October's foliage season. Bantam Lake—Connecticut's largest natural lake—is a short drive away, along with the White Memorial Conservation Center, which protects 4,000 acres of forest, wetlands, and Bantam River corridor as the largest nature center in Connecticut. The agricultural heritage of Litchfield County runs deep, and roadside farm stands, historic barns, and working orchards define the drives between campground and town. Litchfield's historic town green—one of the finest in New England—is surrounded by Federal-period architecture and anchors a village that has changed little in the past two centuries. The Haight-Brown Vineyard, Connecticut's oldest winery, produces estate wines from the Litchfield Hills terrain and offers tastings and tours. Lake Waramaug State Park to the west provides additional public swimming, kayaking, and lakeside picnicking in a setting often compared to the Swiss countryside. The covered bridges of Cornwall and West Cornwall cross the Housatonic River about 20 minutes west, providing a scenic detour that typifies the Litchfield Hills' preserved New England character. Cozy Hills operates through the New England camping season with peak demand in summer and fall foliage season—October weekends book up particularly fast as the Litchfield Hills deliver some of Connecticut's best leaf color. The combination of a full-activity campground, a genuinely beautiful rural setting, and proximity to the cultural pleasures of Litchfield County makes this a destination that rewards multi-night stays rather than quick overnights.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
