Established in 1927,Housatonic Meadows State Park is a practically untouched piece of nature hidden away in the state's upper highlands. Many of the campsites are set right on the riverbank and surrounded by towering pine trees, and campground amenities include restrooms, drinking water, and trash removal.
None of the sites have hookups, but there are four rustic cabins available for rent, each of which can accommodate up to six people. The river water is too cold to swim, but it's wonderful for canoeing, kayaking, and tubing, and there's a two-mile stretch reserved for fly fishing.
