3 adventures tagged Campgrounds.

East Lyme, CT

Rocky Neck State Park

A half-mile crescent of calm, shallow water, a 1930s stone pavilion that looks like a castle, and trains rumbling over the marsh. The little-kid beach, perfected.

🚗 About 1 hr🥾 Easy, flat★★★★★

Beaches

Madison, CT

Hammonasset Beach State Park

Two miles of beach, a boardwalk that goes forever, a free nature center with touch tanks, and a campground big enough to make a whole weekend of it.

🚗 About 45 min🥾 Easy, flat everywhere★★★★★

Waterfalls

East Haddam, CT

Devil's Hopyard State Park

A 60-foot waterfall, perfectly round potholes in the rock that colonial farmers blamed on the devil, and a name kids will not stop saying. Pairs with Gillette Castle for the full East Haddam day.

🚗 About 55 min🥾 Falls viewing easy; the Vista Trail loop is moderate★★★★★
