Devils Hopyard Site 20
First time camping here and had a great time! Sites are very close together and little privacy, but our site was by far the most private (set back a little so bushes covered us from neighbors) and one of the largest sites on the campground before the porta pottas. There are trails behind the sites along a large marsh. The wildlife was incredible, a beaver family family lives in the marsh so every night around 10 they would be up splashing around loudly. Everyone was super friendly and so kind! The trails and waterfall is literally steps away less then a minute walk. Most sites are in direct sun so the heat was brutal not sure if I could handle it in June or July. Be very careful with ticks, there were tons of them under our picnic table and by the campfire. Bring your own chairs to sit on and don't put to much down that they may be able to stick to. Our 2 nights we found over 25 ticks, mostly from sitting at the table when we first arrived.

Awesomeness
This place is a real gem! It’s small and lots of open space and not very patrolled which makes it seem like camping in the wilderness! Very beautiful and lots of exploring site 19 is where I was which provided some shade haveing a big tree
Basic open campground with limited facilities with hiking and fishing
Devil's Hopyard is a small state park and the campground here provides open sites with a few large trees near a stream and across the street from a waterfall. There is a slight slope to some of the sides, Latrines are provided, but water is not; due to contamination, you'll need to bring your own. Picnic tables and fire rings provided. Sites 4 & 5 are next to the latrines. Sites 1-3 have a slight slope. Sites are large enough for an RV. Cell phone coverage poor.
Sites are inexpensive if you are a CT resident, only $14, but there's a $10 surcharge for out of state campers (2021). The season opens early, in April, and runs through early October. On a Wednesday afternoon in July there were still 5 site available for the upcoming weekend, so it may be a reasonable option for last-minute plans. And by mid July they are allowing campers without prior reservations, but no guests (again, 2021 COVID restrictions)
Available activities include hiking the trail network, fishing for brook trout, picnicking near the river, or mountain biking.
