CAMPING INFORMATION
Camping reservations are accepted 11 months in advance until the day prior to arrival. For campsites, a two-night minimum is required for all advance reservations, except when making a reservation within 3 days of arrival, when making a one-night reservation is allowed. A 7-night minimum (Sunday to Sunday) is required for all cabin reservations.
The maximum length of stay is 21 (twenty-one) consecutive days. If you have a 21-day reservation, all members of your camping party and your camping equipment must leave the park for 5 days before you can return.
Camping Reservation Freeze Policy:Any reservation with a departure date that is more than 11 months from today cannot be changed or cancelled for 18 days after the reservation was made for an inland campground and 25 days for sites at Hammonasset and Rocky Neck.
PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT THIS CAMPGROUND.
Check in time for campsites is 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Campers arriving after 10:00 p.m. will be required to set up in a temporary stopover area until the following morning. Check-in for cabins does not begin until 2:00 p.m. on the day of arrival (Sundays). Cabin check-out time is 11:00 a.m. on the day of departure.
Firewood: In an effort to protect Connecticut's forests from the introduction and spread of destructive insect pests - in particular the emerald ash borer and Asian long-horned beetle - we are taking the following action:
Prohibiting the bringing of firewood into state of Connecticut campgrounds and state parks from other states. As an alternative, firewood can be either purchased at the camp stores within the state campgrounds or at local retail sellers of firewood.
We greatly appreciate the public's assistance in helping to protect the state's natural resources and apologizes for any inconvenience this initiative may cause.
