The Great Outdoors

Hartford, CT is circled by a number of State Parks that offer fantastic hiking, cave exploration, paddling, fishing, and swimming opportunities. After you pick up your camper rental in Hartford, your outdoor adventure is ready to begin.

Head south to the large expanse of Cockaponset State Forest and Pattaconk Lake Recreation Area for some woodland rest and relaxation. Here you will find a 16,000-acre nature area that offers a large network of hiking and biking trails through wooded areas and by waterways. Rocky outcrops makes this area visually stunning and fun to traverse. This park also explodes in color during the fall, so if you decide to rent a motorhome in Hartford during the autumn months, this vibrant drive is well worth the trip.

There are a number of excellent parks all along the Connecticut River including Gillette Castle State Park. This unique destination features a medieval type structure built between 1914-1919 by William Gillette. The grounds and walking trails are open for exploration as well.

For fun in the sun, travel a little further south to the Atlantic shoreline and take a break on the inviting sandy beaches of Hammonasset Beach State Park. Here, you can take advantage of the local saltwater fishing charters for an opportunity to “land the big catch.”

When a simple RV campsite surrounded by the soft sounds of nature is more your speed, head towards Thomaston to Black Rock State Park, set in the scenic rolling meadows of the Western Highlands.
