Lone Oak Camp Sites

Connecticut State Parks manages Lone Oak Camp Sites, a family-oriented campground operating from mid-April through mid-October in East Canaan. The facility accommodates RVs up to 60 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station for those needing it.

The campground draws families with children through its extensive activity programming and dual pool setup. One pool serves older swimmers while a separate area caters to younger children, with a whirlpool available for adults. A fishing pond stocks small fish that kids regularly catch, and the playground features multiple pieces of equipment. "Tons of kids activities to keep the little ones busy," notes Ashley A., who has visited for over three decades.

Site spacing varies considerably across the property. Some campers find generous room between neighbors, particularly on larger sites, while others report feeling crowded together. The campground uses a PA system for announcements about organized activities, though this occurs infrequently. Golf cart traffic moves constantly through the narrow roads, which some families find concerning for children on bicycles. WiFi reaches most areas, and the camp store stocks basic supplies plus soft-serve ice cream.

Staff maintains clean facilities and bathrooms, though the restroom buildings show their age. The on-site lounge serves adult beverages on weekends with entertainment, and security patrols overnight. "A little overpriced but nice to have electric water and internet for a night," observes Natalie N.. Reservations are available, and the campground allows pets.

Campers seeking more solitude might consider Riga Lean-To for a quieter alternative.

Many campers appreciated the clean facilities, extensive family activities, and friendly staff. However, some visitors noted concerns about crowded sites and excessive golf cart traffic affecting the camping atmosphere.

Parking lot

This place isn’t a camp ground it’s a parking lot for RVs. I’ve seen more separation between campers on RV dealer lots. There are so many golf carts racing around kids can’t even ride bikes. It’s camping and kids can’t ride bikes safely. The pool for a campground this size is VASTLY undersized. They made the roads so narrow to squeeze in so many sites, it’s almost impossible to navigate an rv through, even for experienced rvers. The sheer armada of golf carts constantly going up and down the road make you feel like you’re camping on a highway instead of in nature. The constant sound reminds me of being near the antique car ride all day long at a theme park. My kids were almost hit on their bikes twice by golf carts and the actual cars FLY on the roads. This was definitely a one and done trip for us.

Great for kids

Lots of activities for kids. Most seasonal sites are held by employees. Super friendly staff clean sites and bathrooms. Great little store. Activities for the kids. Not a ton of privacy, but we didn’t mind much. Nice change from the dry camping we usually gravitate towards

Wonderful place for family time

I happened upon Lone Oaks Camp Site when looking for someplace to stay in north eastern Connecticut. Leery of just reserving at a larger campground, we were pleasantly surprised especially since there was a 50% special so we got 2 nights for the price of one. We arrived with 2 children under the age of 5 and pulled in. The facility was very clean and neat. Upon getting our site (#14) we were shocked at the size of it. We could have fit 3 campers in it and were a good distance from the neighboring sites (there are some places that you are packed in like sardines, not this one). There were 2 good size pools, one for older individuals and one for children. There was also a whirlpool. Although there was no lifeguard, there was a pool attendant that kept the area clean and neat. The playground was clean and had many different pieces of play equipment. The camp store was fully equipped and had a variety of foods including soft serve ice cream. My 5 year old grandson loves to fish and was thrilled when he pulled in a 5 inch fish from their fishing pond. There were many organized activities for both young and old and the staff were very friendly. They have rentals at a reasonable cost along with cart rentals. There were hiking trails and it was close to Action Wildlife in Goshen. For Adults it had adult beverages sold in their lounge on the weekends and felt much more secure to see they had overnight security.. I was really impressed. Many times this late in the season campgrounds are a bit ragged. Not this one. My hats off to the owners and staff for keeping it clean, neat and welcoming.

Not for anyone wanting to rough it but tons of hikes and waterfalls around!

I have gone to lone oak campsites for 32 years. We have gone as a family since I was a fetus. Tons of kids activities to keep the little ones busy and great hikes around! Tons of waterfalls in the area and the highest point in Connecticut. Stars can be seen well and tons of kind and friendly campers.

Family oriented with a great hiking trail.

There are many ways to camp at Lone Oaks. Tenting to a RV, very family friendly. There's a full bar with adult only dancing up stairs in the lounge Saturday nights, and a DJ playing dance music for the younger crowed down stairs. The pools are beautiful, great store and the activities are plenty. There is also a hiking trail with some gorgeous views once you get to the top.

Friendly and huge

This campground is large and has a variety of sites to choose from. It has a large field for seasonal and large rv’s to small wooded sites for tents. be careful on the map for what site has what amenities, and make sure to double check power requirements because it’s not labeled on the sites and it varies. Privacy is about standard rv campgrounds and they have a PA system to announce camp events which was a bit annoying, though it didn’t happen often.

The store was stocked with basic supplies and they had a cafe. WiFi was accessible from most areas but the bathrooms were very dated.

A little overpriced but nice to have electric water and internet for a night.

it is family oriented and has plenty of activities, but we ignored all that and were pleasantly left alone. staff is very friendly.
