Camping near Bantam, Connecticut
Bantam is a small borough of Litchfield in northwestern Connecticut, set at the western end of Bantam Lake, the state's largest natural lake. The area sits inside the Litchfield Hills and is anchored by the White Memorial Foundation, a conservation property that surrounds the lake and runs the two closest campgrounds to the village.
RV renters have distinct choices here. Point Folly has 47 sites on a peninsula in Bantam Lake, and Windmill Hill has 18 sites tucked into pine woods. Both are operated by the White Memorial Foundation as its Family Campgrounds. Starting with the 2026 season, Point Folly no longer accepts motorhomes (Class A, B, or C) or fifth-wheel trailers, and Windmill Hill is restricted to tent camping with no vehicles larger than a standard van or pickup. Renters with larger RVs should look to Cozy Hills Campground on Route 202 in Bantam or Hemlock Hill Camp Resort and Co-operative, a short drive north in Litchfield.
The location works well for lake access, hiking on conservation land, and easy day trips to historic Litchfield center.
Things to do around Bantam
Bantam Lake is the main draw. A campground store and marina operate near the entrance to Point Folly, public boat launching is available at the marina, campers can launch for a reduced charge, and Sandy Beach on Bantam Lake is open for swimming for a nominal fee from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Fishing, paddling, and swimming fill most summer days, and non-motorized watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards are welcome at Point Folly.
The White Memorial Conservation Center offers more than 40 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and seasonal cross-country skiing, along with a nature museum a short distance from the campground store.
Off the water, Cozy Hills has an in-ground pool, stocked fishing ponds, an arcade, and organized activities, and Hemlock Hill Camp Resort and Co-operative adds a pool and hot tub. Historic Litchfield center, about five miles away, has shops and restaurants.

The Bantam camping season is short and clearly defined. Point Folly opens in early May and runs through Columbus Day, while Windmill Hill is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Cozy Hills operates mid-April through mid-October, and Hemlock Hill Camp Resort and Co-operative runs on a similar mid-April to mid-October window.
Spring is cool and wet, with mud on trails and cold lake water into May. Summer brings warm, humid days and the highest booking pressure, especially around the July 4 holiday, and weekends at Point Folly regularly sell out. Pools and hot tubs at Hemlock Hill run from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day, matching the peak family season. Fall is prime for foliage in the Litchfield Hills, with cold nights arriving by mid-October and most parks closing shortly after.
Winter effectively shuts down developed camping in the immediate Bantam area. Snowfall is regular, roads on conservation land are not maintained for RVs, and renters looking for a December through March trip should plan elsewhere.

Marcie and her van were great! Marcie is a very low key host - she is very responsive and was so flexible about pick up and drop off times. Her solar batteries weren't working before our trip and she made sure they were replaced in time. Everything worked great and the van ran great. We spent a week in Acadia in the van. It was small enough that we were able to take it anywhere (including Cadillac Mountain, which doesn't allow anything over 21 feet) and park it with ease most places. We were worried about the sleeping arrangements but we ended up being super comfortable. We never used the propane, but the A/C worked great.

We had a great time on our trip in Marcie’s Solis. She was straightforward, kind, and easy to communicate with.

Easy pick up and drop off. Joe and Kim go over and above to make sure your experience with the vehicle is a positive one.
Robert J. - Oct 2024
We were very pleased with our rental from Joe and Kim. The response when we had a question was instant. The unit was clean and the functionality for a 2005 unit was surprisingly good. Would definitely rent from them again.

How to book campgrounds near Bantam
White Memorial's Point Folly and Windmill Hill are reserved through the White Memorial Conservation Center. Reservations for stays of seven days or more open online on January 15, and weekend reservations open on February 15, after which the peninsula fills quickly for summer weekends and holidays. The minimum reservation is two nights, or three nights on holiday weekends. Point Folly no longer allows motorhomes or fifth-wheel trailers, so book the right site type for the rig.
Cozy Hills Campground accepts reservations directly through its site and requires cancellations at least seven days before arrival, issuing credit rather than refunds. Hemlock Hill Camp Resort and Co-operative takes reservations by phone. Peak-season weekends at every park in the area should be locked in well in advance.
What to expect on the ground
The two White Memorial campgrounds are deliberately rustic, with the stated purpose of offering a quiet, unspoiled camping experience without the modern conveniences of some campgrounds. Expect pit toilets, no individual electric, water, or sewer hookups at sites, and a shared dumping station. Point Folly allows tents, vans, pickup campers, pop-ups, and travel trailers only, and Windmill Hill is tent-only. Renters with full-hookup needs should book Cozy Hills or Hemlock Hill instead.
Quiet hours run from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM with no generators during quiet hours and no loud noises, including radios, at any time. The head of each campsite must be at least 18. Cell service is generally usable in the area, mosquitoes are active near the lake in early summer, and bear-aware food storage is standard practice in the Litchfield Hills.
