Discover Coventry Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips
Categorized as a glacial lake, Coventry Lake in Connecticut was formed around 13,000 years ago when the mile-high glacier scraped and gouged its way north at the end of the Ice Age. Several generations of prehistoric and semi-modern Native Americans lived and hunted in the woods around Coventry Lake. The lake is sometimes referred to as Wangumbaug Lake, which means “crooked pond” in Algonquin Native American language. One of the first European settlers arrived in the area in the early 1700s, driving out the local Native American tribes.

Getting Outdoors
A dense stand of hardwood trees like oaks and maples surround Coventry Lake, obscuring the privately owned homes that line the shore. Clocking in at around 375 acres, the small lake is a favored fishing hole by many locals. Smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing is said to be especially good, as is walleye. The spring-fed lake harbors a healthy population of fish within its murky depths. Swimming, sailing, and water-skiing are popular activities on the water as well. When winter descends upon New England, blanketing the dreamy landscape in soft, thick snow, the fun doesn’t stop. Locals embark on the ice as soon as possible to engage in spontaneous games of ice skating, sailing, and hockey. Hardy, stubborn fishermen, too set out onto the ice, drilling holes with large augers in an attempt to tempt fish into biting.
Camping at Coventry Lake
Skip enduring the noisy neighbors at hotels and wake up surrounded by sheer nature. Delicate birdsongs drift through trees in the mornings, marking the sunrise. Bullfrogs and owls bid you a good night as stars appear in the night sky. Though there’s no RV camping at Coventry Lake, there are several options in the area, all with varying degrees of service and amenities. Moosemeadow Camping Resort, established in the mid-1970s, is an old-fashioned family-friendly campground. In addition to partial and full hookups, the facility offers several planned activities, a swimming pool, and it’s also dog-friendly.
Exploring the Area
It’s hard to believe that this part of Connecticut played such a significant role in shaping America. The towns are sleepy and quiet. The pace of life is slower, to be savored and cherished. Hop into a rental motorhome and explore them all. Learn about their history, starting in Coventry. Nathan Hale, who was a spy and dashing soldier in the Revolutionary War, was born and raised in this town, and his home has been turned into a museum. Guests are treated to a tour of the small homestead and the surrounding buildings. Well-behaved leashed dogs are allowed.

The Minnie Winnie delivered big! The sleeping area had a comfortable mattress and plenty of room (queen) for the two of us and a variable number of our shelties. The bathroom/closet was perfect, with a shower roomy enough for 6'3"me and plenty of storage for our towels and clothes. The slide-out is HUGE and the kitchen/dining area was more than ample. Gerry took care of all the set-up and take-down, explained everything we needed to know, and in general was a downright friendly bloke to deal with before, during, and after our vacation. This is a nearly annual trip for us, so we are looking forward to a repeat of our experience next year!
