Camping In Connecticut

For more water fun we have the ocean, of course, an Olympic-size swimming pool and triple waterslide. Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury, Conn., “Invented Affordable Family Fun!” Free admission to the amusement park.

Farmington Valley
Whatever the season, find your “Hidden Gem” in Connecticut’s Farmington Valley, a special wonderland just 2 hours from New York or Boston. Since 1974, the Greater Hartford Convention & Visitors Bureau, Inc. has marketed and promoted the Hartford region as a convention and meeting destination.

New England Collegiate Baseball
The New England Collegiate Baseball League is summer college baseball at its best. Seeing a college baseball game is an evening of great summertime fun for children and families during a New England vacation.

Connecticut Casinos
Well-known for its rolling hills, Connecticut has miles and miles of green grass and sleepy, family communities. One would not think that Connecticut casinos even exist in this state of 3,405,565 people. Hartford, the capitol of Connecticut, is known for its bustling, state government lifestyle. However, throughout this state, a busy Connecticut casino industry thrives.

Fishing Charters in Mystic/Eastern
Experience party boat fishing at its best on the Blackhawk. Sailing from May - Mid October, we can get you to the fish quickly and comfortably. Fish for flounder, blues and bass, or just enjoy the ride!

The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center
The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, founded in 1964 and based in Waterford CT, is dedicated to the advancement of new work for the theater and creates and operates programs which complement that goal. These include the Puppetry Conference, Playwrights Conference, Critics Institute, Music Theater Conference and the National Theater Institute, a college-accredited training program for theater artists.

Eastern Mountain Sports Rock Climbing School
Eastern Mountain Sports was founded in 1967 in Wellesley Massachusetts by two rock climbers dissatisfied with the poor selection of climbing equipment they found in existing stores. In addition to selling climbing gear, they added a selection of camping equipment in hopes of making money from the hobby that had turned into a viable business.

The Sheffield Island Lighthouse
The Sheffield Island Lighthouse in Norwalk may be one of the best places in New England to explore the living and working areas of a lighthouse and feel the world that the lighthouse keepers knew. Active from 1868 to 1902, the lighthouse is maintained by Norwalk Seaport Association volunteers. Visitors can take a ferry to the island, tour the 10-room lighthouse and keeper’s home, and walk the nature trail.
