Tucked in between a tidal river and a salt marsh on Long Island Sound, Rocky Neck State Park is a fantastic destination for swimming, fishing, crabbing, and other water-based recreational activities. The park boasts one of the most pleasant white sand beaches in the state, which features a long jetty, and the 160-site campground is only a short walk away from the water. There's also a historic stone pavilion that can be booked for private gatherings. The campground is open between late May and early September, and there are also rustic cabins that can be rented by the week.
