Macedonia Brook State Park Campground

7 ReviewsAdd Review

Hikers exploring Macedonia Brook State Park will find a seasonal campground that operates from late May through early September along a winding creek. The 80 sites include full hookups for RVs, with several positioned directly beside the brook where campers can access the water. The campground sits within open terrain, though the access road can present challenges for some visitors.

Cell service proves spotty throughout most of the campground, with the strongest signal near the main building. The layout places some sites closer together than necessary, though occupancy typically remains light except during peak summer weekends. Portable toilets and water pumps serve the campground rather than a traditional bathhouse. "The brook was great for the kids to explore," notes Christopher W..

Trail access leads directly from the campground into Macedonia Brook State Park's hiking network, including loop trails over the surrounding mountains that range from beginner to intermediate difficulty. The western trail sections require more navigation skills as markings become less consistent. Wildlife sightings occur regularly, with bears occasionally spotted near campsites.

The campground works well for RV campers needing hookups and families wanting creek access, though tent campers should prepare for limited facilities and variable cell coverage.

Many campers appreciated the quiet streamside sites and peaceful atmosphere with minimal crowds. Visitors often highlighted the basic but adequate facilities including portable toilets and water pumps rather than full bathhouses.

Idyllic mountain brook camping

No cell service.

Loved the drive to the camp and following the winding brook. The camp sites were laid out kind of odd, making some of them right up on a neighbor spot even when they didn't need to be, but the campground was only about 10% full when we were there, so it didn't affect us.

Primitive car camping

Well spaced sites. No bathhouse, just portable toilets and a few water pumps. And a night sky as dark as you can find in CT

Beautiful Tranquil Setting (at least during the week)

Delighted to find this facility on our return trip from Maine to NC. We camped next to the brook and one couldn't have had a much better experience! Had supper in nearby Kent which is a fantastic small village.

Cute and Quiet

Macedonia State Park is a lovely little spot to camp. I stayed there for a night and it was very quiet and very safe. Our camp spot was right above the river the flows behind this spot. You can go sit down by the water. But be careful! As we were walking back up to our tent there was a small bear within feet from us that we almost didn't see! Also Kent is nearby and it is a beautiful town!

Campsites in the valley of a few mountains which make for good hiking

While I would probably skip Macedonia on the weekends in summer since it looks like it could get packed, a little more off season and during the week it was great. Hardly anyone around, we had a site right next to the stream. The loop hike over the mountains was good, at times more intermediate than beginner and I wouldn't try to go it with younger kids. We did the east side one afternoon and the west the next. The west side the trails aren't marked as well and the map at the ranger's station is off a bit (they don't give out maps, take a picture with your phone). Overall a good trip.
