New England landscapes provide an idyllic backdrop for RV camping in the Constitution State.
Little more than 110 miles in length, Connecticut makes it easy for RV campers. Hit the highway, and you can travel from forested peaks to sandy beaches in mere minutes. Plus, with 110 state parks (that’s one per mile!) and 32 state forests to hike, camp, and explore, you’ll have no shortage of scenic camping spots to park your rig. In the mountainous northwest, hike along part of the Appalachian Trail in Housatonic State Forest, camp by trout-filled rivers at Housatonic Meadows State Park, or stop off at rustic campgrounds and historic towns in the Litchfield Hills. Along the coast, Hammonasset Beach State Park is a perennial favorite for summer camping trips, and Rocky Neck State Park is a bird-watching paradise with coastal hikes and a seasonal campground (no hookups). In fall, head inland to admire the fall foliage in Talcott Mountain State Park or Black Rock State Park.
