Looking for fellow tabbers in reasonable driving distance to meet up for camping.

Hi fellow Connecticut (er). Do you winter camp?

webers3

Have not winter camped yet, did late fall. Leaving for Florida soon so will have some winter camping on the way.

Yep Im in England visiting then head to Tampa Florida to visit my youngest before driving home.

I have family in New Fairfiled and have looked for camping near there but come up empty.  Any suggestions?

Kettletown State Park is the closest, and a nice park for camping and recreation.

What time of year for you want to camp?

I am not picky

Once I get back home I'll let you know so we can work something out. :-)

Have to look up some campgrounds.

I camp at West Thompson Lake, CT every year. One of my faves. When are you thinking? https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/233476

Tundra57

When do they open?

Ummm, is that near New Fairfield? That's on the other side of the state

Tundra57

I'm close to new Fairfield but not adverse to traveling.

@Tundra57 I was answering @jkjenn question if there is a campground close to new Fairfield, kettle town is the closest, Thompson is on the other side of the state. 😊

Isn't Connecticut less than 100 miles wide? Of course driving time/distance is an entirely different matter.
"You can't get there from here" or gridlock.

We're up in Vermont - but getting to Connecticut is easy. Having a tab gathering would be fun.

This is getting interesting. So where and when becomes an important question to answer. I'm pretty easy. What about the rest of you? Perhaps the first decider would be when?

"The annual hydroplane boat races will take place June 26 - 28, 2020.  Noise from this event can easily be heard from all campsites." They release sites 6 months ahead. 11 have hookups. $15 without, $30 with. It's near Thompson Raceway if anyone is into that as well.

we are fellow CT t@bbers and would to get together for some group camping! We’re on the shoreline in Madison but will travel anywhere to meet up with fellow T@bbers!

I think we should pick a quietish not too expensive easy in location for our first camp rather than a very busy full one. This makes it easier to decide later this year.

Maybe something middle to all interested parties. So far we have Thompson Raceway and kettletown state park, others are  lone oak,  lake waramug, Macedonia Brook. 

Any other offers. There is a site near me in Bantam CT but it is pretty small and a bit expensive. I know there are many more. Most sites open may-june.

Thoughts?

Maybe if we all sound out the town we live in or near we can locate the nearest site to be suitable for all.

I'd like to take a shot at Vermont too.
