What’s better than a nice, quiet campground? A waterfall campground, of course! It’s all the things you’ve come to love about camping with the added bonus of nature’s greatest creation. So come set up tent at this awesome spot for a weekend adventure you’ll never forget. But definitely don’t forget the bug spray!
Devil's Hopyard State Park in East Haddam is a magical campground for folks of all ages.
But that's not all. The stream offers easily accessible fishing docks and plenty of trout to go around. Park your campsite here if you're looking for a quiet fishing trip.
Folks love claiming a boulder and enjoying the mesmerizing view, though larger groups usually opt to set up picnics in the surrounding grass. For a totally different perspective, try standing on the viewing platform above!
And don't miss your chance to cross one of the few covered footbridges in the state as you follow the river. From the waterfall, the water runs to the hemlock-canopied picnic area, which makes for a pretty tranquil dining experience.
Smaller falls and brooks are scattered throughout the park, which means the relaxing sounds of the river are never too far away. Spotting the tadpoles, frogs and lizards will remind you of your youth... Think you can still catch one?
The only way to find out is to visit! Camping here is a chance to explore the park like never before, and see one of Connecticut's greatest natural wonders. There's no better camping than beside a waterfall!
