Mount Misery Campground

We loved Mt. Misery. We spent $17/night, and we know what to expect at that price point. We stayed during fall foliage season and even though CT has had a drought this year, there were still pretty colors to see. We hiked to the overlook of Mt. Misery and had a great time geocaching and enjoying the trails. We found the campsites to be decent, and a number of them did afford privacy and space, we had 4 people and 3 dogs on our site, and had plenty of room for our travel trailer and 2 tents. We will be back here for sure.

Sites/facilities were as expected and I could have been very satisfied with our 1 night stay.  There are a lot of rules for camping here, which is confusing because there does not appear to be anyone to enforce them.  Late arrivals? Noise? I suspect that the couple who pulled into the site next to ours after 10PM with two cars and an infant are homeless and poached the site.  They were not there for the hiking or the camping experience and their infant child screamed or babbled through most of the night.  That plus the adults talking, car doors opening and closing, engine running, baby einstein videos playing...  In the morning they packed up and left.  I'm not an advocate of criminalizing homelessness, but if you are looking for a night in the woods listening to crickets and owls, this is not the place.

Very rustic and quiet a lot of hiking trails and a big field to play football baseball if you have the people croquet is fun to play in the field as well there is some streams walking distance fun to check out I found a lot of crayfish so cool

I've stayed a a lot of primitive camp areas, it's how I prefer to camp, but this place... the sites are very close offering no privacy and the crowd was sketchy. I wouldn't go again.

It was bad enough that I had a reservation for 2 nights and I stayed somewhere else.

Beautiful big sites in the middle of the forest. Lots of privacy and space. Rustic amenities but a lovely stream you can swim in.

Overall nice campground, some sites definitely better than others (avoid site 26 - no shade and right next to the swamp so buggy). There is no check-in booth or staff on site really. Seems like rangers are nearby if necessary. No firewood available onsite, but there's a hardware store down the street but it closes at 5pm. Pit toilets are closed and porta-johns are setup which are very clean. Lots of dogs but people are pretty good about keeping them on leashes. There is a rod and gun club in the forrest and it can be heard throughout the day. Not obtrusive but skittish pups won't like it. Overall really nice access to the trails for Mt biking or hiking. Just nice to know ahead of time that it's a bit rustic.

we love camping at Mount Misery! The sites are private, it’s usually pretty quiet, and it’s one of the only campgrounds around that is pet-friendly. We always have a good time!!
