If you're looking for something a little bit different from a typical state park or private campground, North Shore Woods on Beach Pond is one of the best options in Connecticut. It's located in the lakefront backyard of a friendly family, and there are two tent sites, three RV sites and three cabins. There's also a luxurious wood-fired sauna right next to the lake, which campers are welcome to use free of charge. Canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards are available for guests to use as well, and the lake is also great for wind sports if you want to bring your own equipment.
