Hopeville Pond Campground

Hopeville Pond State Park sits just off I-345, about a half-hour's drive north of New London and 45 minutes' drive west of Providence, in an area of Connecticut referred to as “Mystic Country.” The state park covers an area of over 500 acres and encompasses the 130-acre Hopeville Pond along with a vast forested region surrounding it.The park is a popular outdoor recreation site with a pond featuring a beautiful and sandy swimming beach and abundant stocks of catfish, bass, and pike to fish for. It’s also home to the abandoned village of Hopeville, which the park headquarters occupies. Avery House, as it’s known, is one of the last remaining structures in the town and was built in the late 18th century.Camping with an RV at Hopeville Pond is easy with its plentiful campsites and excellent amenities. Sites have limited hookups, though, with most having none at all and only a subset providing electricity. However, there is centrally-located drinking water, a dishwashing station, pit toilets, and a dump station. There’s also a baseball diamond, lots of great hiking trails, and a fish cleaning station where you can prepare your catch for a tasty dinner.
