Best RV Parks & Resorts near Brookfield, CT

Several RV parks near Brookfield, Connecticut offer varied amenities and site configurations. Cozy Hills Campground in Bantam operates from April 15 to October 15 with 178 sites accommodating big rigs with 50-amp electrical service, water hookups, and sewer connections. Totoket Valley RV Park in North Branford provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service but lacks shower facilities. "Sites are pretty spread out and it's big rig friendly with some level concrete pads which is a huge bonus," noted one camper about Jellystone Park in Gardiner. Lake Compounce Campground in Bristol operates May through October with big-rig friendly sites featuring 50-amp electrical hookups and water connections, though sewer hookups are not available.

Advance reservations are essential during peak seasons, particularly for holiday weekends when many parks reach capacity. Most campgrounds in the region provide dump stations for those without full hookup sites. Cell service varies significantly between locations, with some parks offering reliable connectivity while others have limited or no service. Pet policies differ between facilities - Hammonasset State Park Campground explicitly prohibits pets, while most private RV parks welcome them with standard restrictions. Road access to some facilities presents challenges for larger rigs, with one reviewer noting: "2 miles of the Road have many areas of missing blacktop making a very rough ride with low branches. The dump station is basically not accessible to a big rig." Winter camping options are limited, as most parks close between late October and early April.

    Blydenburgh County Park

    Big Rig Camping in Blydenburgh

    We have a 42 ft 5th wheel toy hauler. A few Big Rig spots are available, but this is a Suffock Co Campground that is not well maintained. 2 miles of the Road have many areas of missing blacktop making a very rough ride with low branches. The dump station is basically not accessible to a big rig. Most of the longer sites were very difficult to level.

    Jellystone Park Gardiner

    FAMILY HEAVEN

    This is a HUGE Jellystone park in upstate NY. There are literally hundreds of cabins and RV sites. We are in site 136, which is a back in spot. Plenty of room between campers. Gravel spot which is pretty level. Full hookups. Picnic table, cable, fire ring, large camp store, showers, toilets, and full laundry area. Also has playgrounds, pillow jump, fishing pond, golf carts, game room, Waterpark, pool, and tennis courts. All of this nestled into the mountains. Nice and family friendly.

    Jellystone Park Gardiner

    Chillaxing Getaway

    We stayed at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort along the Walllkill River in Gardiner, NY, for a four-night chill-out vacation. We’re so glad we did! 

    Our site was called Riverfront Red Carpet. It was spacious, level, waterfront, and partially shaded thanks to some mature trees. Site#22 included a large concrete pad, picnic table, charcoal grill, and large fire ring. Everything was in great condition. It was nice having plenty of space to not be on top of our neighbors. We had full hookups with 50-amp electrical service- which all worked fine. 

    The entire park seemed to be well maintained and clean. There’s a small waterpark which seemed good for younger kids, an eatery, and ice cream shop. The camp store was well-stocked with food, camping supplies, and souvenirs. There is a game room and multiple bath houses(which we didn’t use). The park’s roadways are all paved and easy to navigate. Despite being nearly filled to capacity including tons of young children, the park was quiet each night with no noisy ‘bad campers.’ 

    We found our interactions with the staff to be helpful and attentive. We really appreciate friendly staff. 

    Overall, this was a great stay at a great RV park. I’d only mention two negatives, neither was a big deal. It took 45-minutes to check-in. In fairness, we arrived at check-in time(3:00 PM) on a Sunday. There were a dozen other RVs checking in at the same time and they just weren’t equipped for that. Also, our Verizon cell service was practically non-existent and the park’s wifi service was just as horrible. If we needed connectivity, this would have been a major problem. I reduced a star in my review simply because it’s 2021 and wifi has become an expectation. 

    We booked on campspot.com and paid$196 per night+$35 to lock our site+$2 booking fee less a 20% promo discount.

    Black Rock State Park Campground

    A nice family friendly campground

    This is a nice family friendly campground that makes for easy trips. There are a variety of sites available, from open field sites to more wooded and private areas. The campground also has a lake for swimming,trails for hiking, and some nice quiet areas for fishing. Well maintained bathrooms, with available showers, are also spread throughout the grounds. Not pet friendly unfortunately.

    New York City North-Newburgh KOA

    Good amenities and fun experience!

    Campsites Great campsites, wooded and cozy, though a little tight for longer rigs as our neighbors found out when they ran over a wooden post backing in. But spaced apart nicely with lots of vegetation between. Nice and level. Amenities Bathrooms are older and need of some repair but let me tell you I was very happy to see a normal shower head with real hot water! So no complaints here. Laundry facilities were clean and open 24/7 with reasonable prices 2.50/2.00 washer/dryer. And the dryers actually worked. Small dog park, communal spaces, and a camp store all made the place feel like a little village. They even have a wine store- cab sav was good. WiFi I work remotely and WiFi is always an issue. We have Starlink but in a wooded campsite, connecting is an issue but luckily their WiFi was great. Had no issues and could stream just fine. Halloween! We visited mid October and folks had sites decorated and the KOA has trick or treating and other activities every weekend in Oct. we were SO bummed to be leaving on a Friday and miss the festivities because it looked really fun. Would definitely go back. Also, staff was super nice.

    Jellystone Park Gardiner

    #bigfunfamily approved

    We threatened a Jellystone stop for years, and finally made it happen. Great place for kids and staff runs a great park. Its crowded, loud and in constant movement but as expected. Sites here are pretty spread out and it’s big rig friendly with some level concrete pads which is a huge bonus. Park is doing a great job with COVID in the common areas. Not our normal type spot but definitely worth it to break up our 2 month road trip. Safe travels all!

    Riverdale Farm Campsites

    Great camping near Mystic off I-95

    This is a really nice family campground just a mile or so off I-95 in Clinton, CT. It is about 20 miles from Mystic and the historic seaport center. Most of the roads are paved, the sites are large and level, there are full hookups, and a dump station. There are a lot of seasonal residents, but still plenty of open sites for travelers. There is a playground, game room, “adult ” lounge, a laundry, a swimming pond, and river access for fishing and swimming. Internet is an extra fee! ($6/day) The road into the campground is narrow and winding, so larger RV mss as y have trouble, but there were several of them there when we were there. There is a security gate at the entrance.


Guide to Brookfield

Campgrounds near Brookfield, Connecticut are scattered throughout western Connecticut and eastern New York, with most facilities nestled in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains at elevations between 500-1,000 feet. The region experiences distinct seasonal changes with hot, humid summers reaching 80-90°F and winter temperatures frequently dropping below freezing. Fall camping offers spectacular foliage viewing while spring campers should prepare for muddy conditions during the April-May thaw period.

What to do

Hiking trails access: At Clarence Fahnestock State Park, campers can quickly connect to hiking paths right from their sites. One visitor noted, "The trails in the area are friendly to hikers, bikers, and the non-arthritic kneers, as most are rated moderate to challenging. Don't fret, trails that are rated easy and accessible to disabled are equally enjoyable and beautiful."

Fishing opportunities: Rudd Pond Area at Taconic State Park offers excellent largemouth bass fishing. "The sites were a little close together, but being able to fish and catching 2 decent-sized largemouth bass made everything all ok!! There is plenty of fishing access from shore and you can rent a boat for the whole day to fish on the water," reported one angler.

Swimming options: Lake Taghkanic State Park Campground provides a clean swimming beach approximately 60 miles from Brookfield. "Lake Taghkanic State Park was not a long drive from NYC, maybe 2 hours. The campsite was very clean and maintained. We loved the hot showers after a long day of fishing and swimming in the lake," shared one visitor. Another mentioned, "The lake is beautiful and clean. Expect to pay $15 fee (I think) to use your paddleboards/kayaks."

What campers like

Platform tent sites: Many campgrounds offer raised wooden platforms that keep tents dry during wet weather. At Beaver Pond Campground, "The biggest positive about Beaver Pond is how spread out it was. You definitely feel like you have your own space and are not camping on top of your neighbor. Many of the camping options were on platforms which is especially nice if it recently rained."

Cabin accommodations: Several parks offer cabin rentals as alternatives to tent camping. "We stayed in a cabin on the lower loop. Went hiking all day. Kinda close together sites, but the trails make up for it," noted a visitor to Kettletown State Park. Cabins at Lake Taghkanic are particularly well-maintained with one reviewer stating, "No complaints. Everything is perfect every year we've been. The lake is beautiful and clean."

Off-season tranquility: Fall and spring camping offers quieter experiences. One camper at Clarence Fahnestock State Park Campground reported, "Ranger said that during summer weekends the grounds fill up and can be quite noisy, but mid-week during the off-season it was great. Expect to purchase firewood, although scrounging for kindling was possible."

What you should know

Bear awareness: Wildlife encounters are common in the region. One camper at Beaver Pond warned, "The wildlife do roam around your campsite so be mindful of putting food and garbage away before sleeping." Another mentioned, "'Welcome to Bear Mountain' grumbles the park ranger as he sits in complete darkness! He gives us the run down on bear activity in the area."

Bathroom conditions vary: Facilities range from recently renovated to basic. At Kettletown State Park Campground, a visitor noted, "Speaking of bathhouse - this one is really just in dire need of updating. Having visited 2 other state parks in a neighboring state, CT should really invest in better quality bath houses."

Site privacy differences: Campground layouts vary significantly in terms of privacy. "Campsites not private at all. Felt like I was sharing my site with strangers," reported one camper at Taconic State Park's Rudd Pond area. At Kettletown, another visitor observed, "Sites are close together so recommend reserving two for more space."

Tips for camping with families

Playgrounds and activities: Lake Compounce Campground offers extensive recreational options. "They have a small playground, activities, tennis court, basketball. Not to mention it's next to the amusement park," noted one family. Another mentioned, "This is what I want for a Catskill campground. It is not a concrete pad haven and yes, there is mud."

Kid-friendly spaces: Some campgrounds have spacious open areas for children. At Kettletown State Park, a camper observed, "The reason why I said place is perfect for kids? It has a huge land of campsite that the kids can run around until their energy out for the night! Plus you would see awesome stars during the nighttime!"

Rainy day options: Look for campgrounds with indoor facilities. At Lake Taghkanic, a visitor mentioned, "Great beach, 5 minute drive from campground. Clean facilities, with a rec room for rainy days. A camp store with all the supplies you might have forgotten."

Tips from RVers

Dump station access: Most rv parks near Brookfield, Connecticut offer dump stations but limited full hookup sites. At Prospect Mountain Campground, "We did a three month seasonal Site. Staff is super nice and helpful. We had a nice quiet spot even though we were on the road to the lake," reported one RVer staying longer-term.

Site leveling considerations: Uneven terrain can challenge larger rigs. At Lake Compounce Campground, "The sites were long so even though you face your neighbor, the sites were long enough that our door wasn't directly across from our neighbor... None of the sites have sewer, but there is a dump station on the way out."

Big rig accessibility: Not all Brookfield area campgrounds accommodate larger vehicles. At Totoket Valley RV Park, full hookup sites include 50-amp service. A visitor reported, "Small campground with good electrical, clean water, sewer and a friendly owner. Each site has grass and a picnic table... It's a perfect campground for seeing the local area or even catching the train to New York City."
