Best Campgrounds near Norwalk, CT
About 47 miles from Norwalk, Hammonasset State Park Campground draws many Connecticut campers with its beachfront location. The campground has large sites close to the water, which works well for groups with kids. You'll find clean bathrooms and shower buildings throughout the grounds. Kettletown State Park Campground sits closer to Norwalk, just 25 miles away in Stevenson. Its camping spots are tucked among trees that create good separation between neighboring sites. The park has hiking paths that let you see different parts of the woods and landscape. Spring and fall are typically the best seasons to camp in these areas since the weather stays mild. The summer gets crowded at both parks, so you'll want to book sites months ahead. Both parks have wildlife around - remember to put food away at night so animals don't come looking for it. You can reach either campground on regular paved roads that don't require special vehicles. These two parks give Norwalk-area campers different options depending on whether they want forest or beach camping.
