Most RV parks in the region operate seasonally, with Lake Compounce open May through October and several state parks closing after Labor Day weekend. Narrow access roads can present challenges at some locations, particularly for larger motorhomes. At Kettletown State Park, RV sites have electric hookups but limited maneuverability for larger rigs. Cell service varies throughout the region, with most parks reporting adequate coverage. Dump stations are available at multiple locations including Rocky Neck State Park and Hammonasset Beach State Park. Many campgrounds require advance reservations, especially during summer weekends and fall foliage season. A recent review noted that "the road into the campground is narrow and winding, so larger RVs may have trouble, but there were several of them there when we were there."
