Reviews of Housatonic Meadows State Park (Park)

Peter M

One of my favorite campgrounds within two hours from NYC. The sites are big and many shaded sites are available. The Housatonic river nearby is popular for fishing and kayaking but you can also wade in the water. A nice trail with great views from the top of the hill starts right across from the campground. For food shopping, a well stocked market in nearby Sharon has most of what you need as a camper. The staff is working hard to keep everything in good shape.

Beautiful views of nature and river. Quiet and very peaceful. Kent Falls State Park is a short 5 minute drive. It’s a gorgeous park full of trails, waterfalls and nature views that are picture perfect. I camped at Housatonic Meadows with family and friends the weekend before Labor Day. The river levels were shallow and, we loved sitting in the river with our beach chairs putting our feet in the water. The reason I gave the park a 3 star rating is because the bathrooms were lacking maintenance. There are spider webs all over the bathroom walls and ceilings. I checked in on a Friday and, the women’s shower drain was clogged. By Saturday morning, an out of order sign was taped to the shower curtain. The shower drain was clogged during our entire stay and it was fixed on Monday which is the day we checked out. Being that this shower was the only shower available for women on that section of the campground, the issue should’ve been taken care off sooner than it was handled. Under those circumstances, there was only one more shower available but, on the other section of the campground for which we had to drive to every night to go take a shower. Not cool! Another bad thing about this place is that there are no supermarkets or stores near by. The nearest store would be Walmart and its 40 minutes away. Pray to god you don’t end up needing anything because this campground does not have a camp store neither. To add, the older man who checked me in was not friendly at all. I don’t expect for people to be smiley and chatty, but if I say hello along with “How are you doing today?” I do expect an answer at the very least. Courtesy does go a long way. Needless to say...this was our first time visiting this campground and, as much as we love camping, we are definitely not going back to this campground ever!!!

Hyper vigilant about attaching/tying anything to trees (e.g. no hammocks) ... Don't care about generators running all day ... Road noise a problem

A nice park to take a break in and have lunch when you're sightseeing on route seven. A good place to fly fish when it's not too crowded.

It's a wonderful camp ground. I use to take my kids. Now I go alone and hang out at Sunset Meadows Winery, enjoy hiking and some R&R. I love the river. My kids loved this place when they were young. I filled my car with kids from the city. It's a great place for city kids to experience nature for the first time.
