Camping at 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.
