Nestled in the rolling hills of Connecticut's Western Highlands, Black Rock State Park is named for the graphite lead found in the area, and it's a fantastic place to relax and unwind. The rustic campground offers 78 sites, and although the facilities are limited to restrooms and picnic tables, there are endless hiking trails in the surrounding area, with options ranging from short strolls to full-day adventures. Campers can also swim at the nearby beach. Alcohol and pets are both prohibited in the campground, and visitors should be aware that parking fees and camping fees are charged separately.
