Getting Outdoors

Camping at Paugussett State Forest
Situated just across the river from Paugussett State Forest, the Kettletown State Park is your best bet when it comes to camping with an RV as close as possible to Paugussett State Forest. The campground’s pull-thru sites are set on dirt and have no hookups, perfect for dry camping. Just be sure to bring along a couple of leveling blocks. The campground features a dump station, restrooms, and showers.
Exploring the Area
Before packing up your Newtown camper rental and bidding the area goodbye, take some time to tour and appreciate even more of the region's attractions as who knows when you’ll be back? It wouldn’t be a bad idea to start off your tour at Yale University in New Haven. Founded in 1701, the Ivy League University remains an integral part of the community. Did you know that Yale, the third oldest university in the United States, is the largest employer in New Haven? The university visitor center is situated in John Pierpoint House, the oldest private home in the town. There you can organize for a guided tour of the stately gothic-style campus.

Jill was super helpful and communicative. Prepare to spend at least an hour going over the van on day 1 as there's a lot to learn. But Jill also provides written guides in case you forget anything or have any issues and she's super responsive if you do have any questions.

Marc and Antonella were such amazing hosts! We truly enjoyed our weekend adventure in their RV. The entire process from beginning to end was so easy thanks to the their flexibility and kindness. The RV was clean and well stocked with everything we could need. We can't wait for our next RV adventure!

It was great, just what we needed for our staff to have onsite for our festival. It worked just like we. It really helped when we got rained out on Sunday's festival. Because it was a festival at one site, we did not move anywhere, but we still enjoyed the use of the unit.
