Week on Creek……

Being from extremely overcrowded and Long Island- we decided to take a week long trip and stay at site 14 at Housatonic Meadows State Park Campground in CT. After a beautiful 8 am crossing of the sound on the Port Jeff Ferry, we landed in Bridgeport at 9:20 at shot north on 8 and in an hour and 20 minutes arrived at the Park- we were early, but the Ranger was great and made a couple of rounds and let us know as soon as we could head to the site. This is a small campground and the site on the north side are the the only ones worth staying at- week booked 14. it was a Saturday afternoon, and it was NOT full! On LI- its impossible to get a campsite unless you book it 6 months in advance. Our first 24 hours were a bit of a let down, as we landed right in the middle of a 3 site family “fiesta”…. but we used Winnebago 1700BH to block it out, and set up under the canopy of old growth pines and oaks… by 12 on Sunday-we had the entire campground to ourselves… in the middle of JULY. The fishing, peace and quiet of the place was exactly what we needed!!Tons of birdwatching, hiking, river floating… the cabins look great also- typical campground baths.. mostly tents as we were the only trailer in the park…. wait? what?? We say this place is great!!

Beautiful area, mediocre campground

Love spending time along the Housatonic River in the northwest corner of CT—this campground is conveniently located right by the river, but also right by the road. Lacks much to write home about. They have some strict rules. If you stay here, be sure to consider renting boats/rafts/tubes from Clarke Outdoors just up the road!
