RV rental Rocky Neck State Park, CT: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Most visitors to Rocky Neck State Park arrive in the summer to take advantage of the white sandy beaches. With little rock to be found anywhere, the beach is perfect for sunbathing and sifting sand through your toes. On top of that, the protection offered by Long Island and Fishers Island give you some calm waters for cooling off in the ocean on a hot day. You’ll find typical beach facilities at Rocky Neck, including restrooms, showers, picnic areas, and a concession. Rocky Neck State Park, despite its small size, has an extensive network of trails. Most of these trails are relatively flat and easy, though there are small hill climbs on some of them. For the most part, they're less than a mile in length but can be combined into larger circuits. You can walk around the entire park in a two-and-a-half-mile loop with great views of the river, under the shade of oak, hickory, and maple trees. More popular trails include historic Tony's Nose, the old Shipyard Trail, and Baker's Cave. You'll get a great glimpse of the glacial history that shaped this park and views of the salt marshes that provide a haven for herons, osprey, and swans. Fishing is popular throughout the year for campers at Rocky Neck State Park. Crabbing is another very popular activity here in season. During summer, you can cast your line for bass, mackerel, and flounder from the fishing jetty. You'll be more than welcome to fish from the beach during colder months when the sunbathers and swimmers are absent.
