can any one tell me if there is a campground within 50 miles of Hartford that has sewer hook -ups have looked in the forms and cant find one why don;t they have any??

Have you checked over the Mass border for sites. For instance, Prospect Mountain Campground is in Granville, MA which is about 30 miles from Hartford, depending where in Hartford you need to be.

Are you just visiting, doing the tourist thing, or looking for a seasonal?

Most campgrounds in Connecticut are in the East and Northeast parts of the state. Pretty much everything in Connecticut is within 50 miles of Hartford, just that sometimes there isn't a direct highway route.

A very nice campground relatively close to Hartford is Nelson's Family Campground, 71 Mott Hill Road, East Hampton, CT 06424. A little farther southwest, and in a beautiful part of the state, is Wolf's Den Family Campground, 256 Town Street, East Haddam, CT 06423 (Actually, I think both of these campgrounds are owned by the same people).

This map: http://www.epgsoft.com/CampgroundMap/ Is pretty good to get an idea of campground locations, and gives links back to RVParkreviews for reviews.

At any campground, make sure you ask for a full hookup site with sewer, and be aware that with holiday weekends and/or last minute reservations the full hookup sites may already be reserved.

Keep in mind that most Connecticut State Parks do not have electric, water, or sewer hookups -they are primarily dry camping.

Hope this helps!

We stayed here Memorial Day weekend 2009. We liked it. About 1/2 seasonal but all well kept. Not sure how far from Hartford. In the East near RI border and easy to get to Rt 95.
