13 Reviews

Frog Hollow Horse Camp at Pachaug State Forest provides dedicated equestrian camping within Connecticut's largest state forest. Located on Green Falls Road in Voluntown, this first-come, first-served campground features sites arranged around a central loop with space for camping equipment, trailers, and horse lines. Composting toilets are located near the entrance, and water is available for both campers and horses. The campground serves as a base for three horseback riding loop trails that extend directly from the camping area. Approximately half the sites remain available during the fall season, making it accessible for late-season riders. Camping facilities include picnic tables and fire rings where fires are permitted. Pets are allowed in the campground, providing flexibility for equestrians traveling with dogs alongside their horses. The campground lacks electric hookups and is not suitable for large RVs. Campers reference The Dyrt for top tips on camping near Hadlyme, Connecticut.

LeGrand Reynolds Horsemen's Camping Area in Arcadia Management Area offers another equestrian camping option within reasonable driving distance. Located on Escoheag Hill Road in Exeter, Rhode Island, this campground caters specifically to the horseback riding community. Electric hookups include both thirty-amp and fifty-amp options for those requiring power while camping with horses. The campground provides water hookups and allows fires, with picnic tables at each site. The campsites accommodate tents and can be reserved in advance to secure your spot. Arcadia Management Area contains extensive trail systems popular with equestrians, featuring varied terrain and scenic woodland riding. Other regional options include Wolf Den Campground at Mashamoquet Brook State Park, which permits pets and offers electric and water hookups, though it lacks specific horse-focused amenities such as corrals. Riders seeking beach access may consider Suffolk County parks on Long Island, where several campgrounds accommodate horses with direct access to riding areas.

    Frog Hollow Horse Camp at Pachaug State Forest

    Equestrian campground near trails in a state forest

    It's hard to find much information about this equestrian, first come, first serve campground in Connecticut's Pachaug State Forest. The best source I could find was https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/State-Parks/Recreation-Information/Horseback-Riding---CT-State-Parks-and-Forests

    Campsites are located around a loop with a couple of composting toilets near the entrance. Water is available. There's space your your camping gear as well as a trailer and horseline. About half the sites were occupied in late October.

    Three horseback riding loops leave from the campground. There's also fishing and hiking available in the forest.

    Wolf Den Campground — Mashamoquet Brook State Park

    Great place to camp

    Son and I stayed from Friday to Sunday. Easy to find the camp and the plot, well marked. Very nice sized lots. Large open areas for kids and adults to play during day and star gaze at night. Close to a small walking path and a larger intermediate hiking trail. Bathrooms were clean and staff were friendly. Would definitely stay again.

    Sears Bellows County Park

    Relaxing-Good for your whole family!

    Sears Bellows in New York is a lot of fun. It really does offer a lot of outdoor activities for you and your family. I have stayed at this campsite 1 time, and stayed 2 nights. This campground does offer tent sites as well as RV/trailer sites. When I went with my friends in college, we just stayed in the tent sites and really enjoyed it. The campground is very well kept and clean which I really liked. They do have quite a bit of garbage's to dump your trash in. One thing I really liked about this campground is that there was a river/pond close by (Bellows Pond). The first night I stayed here my friends and I rented some rowboats and went on the water. It was a lot of fun, and the price of the rowboat was pretty cheap. The next morning we got up and did some hiking. The trails were beautiful, and the flowers were in bloom. There were people who were also biking on these trails, which looked like so much fun! We also saw some people fishing in the pond- and it seemed like most people were catching. The people who stayed in the campsite next to us were cooking up some type of fish for their dinner that they caught that day. One thing to note is that there are not any electrical hook-ups, so if that is something you need you might now want to come stay here. I would love to come back here someday, but stay maybe a day or two longer to do more things- I would also bring my bike and fishing pole to do more outdoor activities. I would also advise to rent the rowboats because that was a lot of fun!

    Wolf Den Campground — Mashamoquet Brook State Park

    Nice overnight spot

    Stayed here on a Tuesday night right after hurricane Henri. The park was completely cleaned up from any damage or debris, all in great shape. No other campers here when we arrived, so totally silent. No road noise. Most sites are relatively short level pads, with little or no shade, but very pleasant. We picked site 33 for the best shade and longer pad. Wished we had time to check out the hiking trails accessible from the campground.

    Wolf Den Campground — Mashamoquet Brook State Park

    Basic campground with hiking trails in the area.

    This small state park campground offers basic campsites with running water and showers, open Memorial Day to Columbus Day.  This is NOT Wolf's Den Family Campground in E. Haddam, CT. Also, be aware there are 2 campgrounds at this State Park; the other one, Mashamoquet Brook, does not offer running water/showers, so if you want these amenities, be sure to select a campsite 1-35.

    There's a small playground in the middle of the loop, a number of hiking trails throughout the park along with a few geocaches (download details for offline use a phone connection is spotty), a swimming pond, and a small brook with an old mill and blacksmith shop that is sometimes open on weekends for tours. It's a nice place to explore and have a picnic. In 2020 with Covid, there were restrictions on visitors to the campground, reservations required, and swimming was not allowed. 

    The parking pads are paved and a few have overhanging branches, but the trees provide  separation and some shade on largely open sites that tend to open up toward the back with open areas for pitching tents. Sites have fire rings with grills and picnic tables. Site 20 is the only one with electric. The ones toward the back of the loop back up toward the woods and give you some more privacy. 

    They don't allow hammocks in the trees or pets. For some reason, silly string also makes the list of prohibitions.
