Rocky Neck State Park

Important information

You can now make a reservation for the day before your arrival and up until 11 months in advance. If you make your reservation within 3 days of your arrival you can book a 1 night stay. The maximum length of stay is twenty-one consecutive days at this campground. Between stays of any length, all campers, including all occupants of the site, as well as all camping equipment, must leave the campground for 5 days. Leaving camping equipment (i.e. campers, RVs, etc,) at state campgrounds for back-to-back reservations is not permitted, even if used by different occupants. During this mandatory five-day interim period, all camping equipment must be removed from the campground, and may not be transferred to other sites to be used by other occupants. All occupants must also leave the park for five days and may not stay on other sites within the campground during this time. Any reservation with a departure date that is more than 11 months from today cannot be changed or cancelled for 18 days after the reservation was made for an inland campground and 25 days for sites at Hammonasset and Rocky Neck. In an effort to protect Connecticut's forests from the introduction and spread of destructive insect pests - in particular the emerald ash borer and Asian long-horned beetle - the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is taking the following action: Prohibiting the bringing of firewood into state of Connecticut campgrounds and state parks from other states. As an alternative, firewood can be either purchased at the camp stores within the state campgrounds or at local retail sellers of firewood. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection greatly appreciates the public's assistance in helping to protect the state's natural resources and apologizes for any inconvenience this initiative may cause. PETS ARE NOT PERMITTED AT THIS CAMPGROUND.
