Getting Outdoors
Although much of the Crystal Lake shoreline is taken up by residential properties, there is still plenty of room for recreational activities when you rent a camper near Crystal Lake. Sandy Beach, which is owned and monitored by the nearby town of Ellington, CT, provides the only public access to the lake. At one end of Sandy Beach, there is a public boat launch ramp, so accessing the lake’s calm waters is a breeze. Although motorized boating is allowed on Crystal Lake, due to its small size, Crystal Lake is not suitable for any type of watercraft. Those motorhome camping with their own kayak or canoe can enjoy a relaxing afternoon paddling around the lake and exploring all of its hidden gems.
Camping at Crystal Lake
When you have an RV rental near Crystal Lake, you will need somewhere to park it up for the night. Luckily, there are two campgrounds less than a ten-minute drive from the lake.
Exploring the Area
Your Crystal Lake camping trip would be not complete without a day spent in Hartford, Connecticut’s capital city. After all, Hartford is just a twenty-minute drive away from the lake!

We had a great time. We took our 7th grade basketball team, the Vipers to the Great Wolf Lodge. It was a blast in the RV. Tara was very accommodating and the RV was super clean.
I would definitely recommend.

Amazing winter vanlife experience in Thing2!!! We (2 adults & dog) did a week-long snowboarding trip from CT to ME, and it was great to have the van as our basecamp & lodge. We were warm & comfortable despite freezing temps outside, and had enough space for all our gear. Michael did a great walk-through of the systems when we picked up & was responsive and helpful throughout the trip - highly recommend.
