    Several state parks and privately owned campgrounds offer cabin accommodations within a 30-minute drive of New Milford. Lake Waramaug State Park Campground in New Preston provides rustic cabins with basic amenities across from a scenic lake. Kettletown State Park Campground in Southbury features cabins on its lower loop with hiking trails nearby. Most cabin sites include fire rings, picnic tables, and access to central bathroom facilities with showers. Cozy Hills Campground in Bantam offers more developed cabin options with electricity and additional amenities. A visitor noted that "the campground was clean and quiet. Pool was nice and clean but a little cold."

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Lake Compounce Campground in Bristol provides family-sized cabin accommodations as part of its resort offerings. Housatonic Meadows State Park Campground and Black Rock State Park Campground feature more primitive cabin options for those seeking a traditional woodland experience. Most Connecticut state park cabins operate seasonally from May through early September, while private campgrounds like Hemlock Hill Camp Resort in Litchfield extend their cabin rental season from late April through mid-October. One camper shared that Kettletown State Park cabins offer great value: "Stayed in a cabin on the lower loop. Went hiking all day. Kinda close together sites, but the trails make up for it."

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations - state park cabins typically provide minimal cooking amenities beyond outdoor fire rings, while private campgrounds may offer microwaves or small refrigerators. Campground stores at Cozy Hills and Lone Oak Camp Sites sell basic provisions including firewood, ice, and limited groceries. Larger supermarkets are located in New Milford and surrounding towns for more extensive food shopping. Many cabin sites in the region accommodate pets, though specific policies and additional fees may apply. Reservations are essential during summer months, particularly for weekend stays.

      Lake Compounce Campground

      Amusement Park Camping

      This campground is associated with a large amusement park. We were there in the fall when the amusement park was closed so the campground was not very busy but image it would have a very crowded feel if you were there during the summer. The RV sites are buddy sites which is never our favorite set-up (unless we are traveling with friends). Luckily, there was no one in the site next to us during our stay. The campground is big rig-friendly with roads and sites wide and long enough to accommodate any size RV; however, the road and roundabout you encounter when entering the campground is tight. There was very little traffic when we entered so navigating the entrance booth and roundabout was doable. The RV slots you pull into to check in at registration are far too short to accommodate large RVs with their tow vehicles and we ended up taking up four spaces. The tent sites are set away from the cabins and RV sites. Some are nicely tucked up against the tree line while others are in a grassy area and others are sandy nestled under some scrubby pine trees. One of the problems with the location of the tent sites is that they are far away from the bathrooms. Garbage cans are scattered throughout the campground so you don’t have to walk very far to dump your trash. There is no sewer but the electric (50-amp) worked well. There is cable but the channels were not HD so we switched to our over-the-air antenna and got great HD reception with about 60 channels. There is wifi but we could not get it at our site so we just used our Verizon hotspot (which had great reception). The water pressure is very high so we dialed our regulator back to around 45.  Roads and sites are gravel. All the sites are level and have a picnic table and fire pit.  We noticed that some of the fire pits needed to be cleaned out because rude campers littered them with water bottles, cans, and other garbage in the fire pits. One of the downsides is the noise from local recycling/transfer station. There is a dump station set to the side as you enter/exit. It was a little tight for us getting our 45’ RV in there but it was doable. There is only one sewer dump so we can image that it can be pretty backed up on Sundays when everybody checks out.

      Did Some Fishing

      After a busy few weeks, this was exactly the break we needed. The kids went swimming, we did some fishing, and everyone came home tired in a good way lol.

      Bunch Of Extra Trips

      White Pines made a really good home base for our trip. We spent most of the days checking out different spots around northwest Connecticut and came back here in the evenings. Made dinner outside, had a fire, and just relaxed. The campground itself had everything we needed without having to make a bunch of extra trips into town.

      Some Actual Downtime

      We brought our camper up for the weekend and the kids immediately wanted to go to the pool.😂 They also loved the fishing pond and exploring around the campground. There was plenty to keep them busy while we got some actual downtime.

      Friendly staff and very clean facilities. They have sites with sewage hookups along with water and electric. Sites are small and very close together. I liked how many dog waste receptacles were available all over the property.

      One thing I really liked was having wifi when we needed it. Nice to be able to check in on work and then put the phone away and enjoy the rest of the day.

      Perfect Camping Day

      Nice campground with a good mix of activities. We went fishing one morning, spent the afternoon at the pool and had a fire that night. Pretty much a perfect camping day.

      Car camped

      Made a reservation (site44) since I arrived as the sun had set. Office registration was open until 8. Staff was neither friendly nor unfriendly. Bathroom was dated but fine and a short walk from my site. CG was emptier being a Tuesday night in mid-October, so was plenty of space.

      Great trail following the Hudson River. Beautiful fall colors.

      We stayed in a cabin and it worked out perfectly for us. Spent the days exploring the area and came back in the evening to cook and hang out. Would definetly do it again.

    Guide to New Milford

    Cabin rentals near New Milford, Connecticut offer access to the Litchfield Hills region, known for its rolling terrain that ranges from 400 to 1,250 feet in elevation. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures typically reaching 80-85°F during peak cabin rental months. Most rustic accommodations in the region require advance booking during the popular May-September period when water recreation options are at their peak.

    What to do

    Hiking trails: Lake Waramaug State Park Campground features a scenic trail system with lake views. "A main road does separate the camp sites from the water so it is important to look after little ones. Great biking in the area as well," notes one visitor at Lake Waramaug State Park Campground.

    Water activities: Kettletown State Park offers fishing areas with seasonal swimming access. A visitor mentioned that "There are hiking trails, a fishing area and a swimming hole, but the week I was there there was a high bacteria count, so no swimming was allowed. Also, when swimming is allowed, there isn't a lifeguard" at Kettletown State Park Campground.

    Outdoor sports: Lone Oak Camp Sites provides recreational facilities including two swimming pools. According to a camper, "Two big pools, store, bar for adults with live entertainment. Tons of kids activities going on all day."

    What campers like

    Large campsites: Housatonic Meadows State Park Campground offers spacious riverside sites. A visitor reported that "Sites are HUGE. Bathrooms, water, showers are close by. You will almost always have a view of the water" at Housatonic Meadows State Park Campground.

    Family activities: Cozy Hills Campground has structured programming for children. A camper shared "Lots and lots of activities for kids! Arts & Crafts, Arcade, Bingo, Casino Night etc. Pool is very nice for families - with no deep end, really safe for younger kids" at Cozy Hills Campground.

    Nature immersion: Black Rock State Park Campground offers varied site options in wooded settings. One visitor mentioned "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."

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Peak season at most cabin rentals extends from late May through early September, with some private facilities remaining open until mid-October. "Bathrooms are clean, water, showers are close by. You will almost always have a view of the water. There is easy access to the swimming area," notes a visitor about amenities at Housatonic Meadows.

    Facility variations: Bathroom and shower facilities differ significantly between campgrounds. A camper at Black Rock State Park Campground observed "They have a wash area for dishes and REALLY HOT showers. Lol I like my showers hot butt my biscuits were burnin lol. They also have a dump station and a place to fill up ur water tank as well."

    Seasonal considerations: Many water recreation options close in September. A Lake Waramaug visitor noted "Monday apparently is trash day in the area for all the homes around the lake. They start collecting very early and the sound really carries over the lake."

    Tips for camping with families

    Activity planning: Campground calendars vary with more programming on weekends. A Cozy Hills visitor shared "Kids caught about 20 fish. The pool is nice, no deep end. It's very hilly. A golf cart is recommended if your site is far from the pool."

    Safety considerations: Road layouts require extra vigilance with children. One Lake Waramaug camper warned "Watch your children, cars go racing through the campground!"

    Equipment needs: Many cabin facilities require bringing your own linens and cooking equipment. A camper at Lake Compounce Campground suggested "Easy entry, long pull thrus. You will face your neighbor door to door but enough room between you don't feel invaded. Restrooms are clean and spacious. Showers are great. Whoever planned this campground is/was a camper."

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: Research specific site amenities before booking. At Kettletown, one RVer advised "Check out Kettletown State Park isn't just for camping. There are also hiking trails, a fishing area and a swimming hole."
