Camp grounds are clean and quiet. The facility has hot water and stock with toiletries. It’s nice that the Farmington river is close to go fishing, it’s also good to be able ride your bikes around the campground. I just wish there wasn’t so much spider in the bathroom. Also the bathroom has a lot of peeling paint on the wall. All the peeling paint and spiders can be removed if they power wash the walls every so often. It’s also very convenient to have fire wood for purchase on site. I would give five stars if it wasn’t for the spiders. We had a great experience overall and will return.

Absolutely love ❤️ going here, so peaceful the river is beautiful, great for fly fishing, great place for a hike in the woods or to just hang by the fire. We like to paint 🎨 rocks and leave them around the fire 🔥 ring for others to enjoy 😊 Nice local restaurants nearby and Dunkin too. Will definitely be back next year.

Well spaced sites, with lots of trees, so it feels like camping despite our cozy travel trailer. The nearby trails were a plus, and we rested at a nearby winery.

Mostly quiet. A little close to the road. Level spots with plenty of space.

The campground area of the river is catch and release only. The Farmington has a lot of regs. Check the DEEP website and stop in at Upcoutry Sport Fishing with any questions. From the old footbridge abutments (Barkhamsted) downstream to the Route 219 bridge (New Hartford). This area includes all of the former West Branch Farmington River Trout Management Area: Season: Open year-round. Methods: Barbless hooks only Trout: Catch and Release Only.

Do we need a reservation Before we get there or Can we just sign up when we are there

Mitchell Sepulveda | Sep 30, 2018
Evelyn Schrijn | Sep 30, 2018

You don't have to, but you will be taking a chance on there not being any spots available. You don't want to have to pack your camping gear and and arrive at the campground to then be told by staff, "sorry, no spots available". Good luck. Go on Reserve America to reserve. Its easy.
