Camping near Murray, Connecticut
Murray is a small census-designated place in the town of Fairfield in Fairfield County, along Burr Street with access from the Merritt Parkway. It sits in southwestern Connecticut, roughly an hour from New York City and within a short drive of the state's western highlands, where most of the region's campgrounds are found.
RV renters using Murray as a base can reach both state park campgrounds and private RV parks within about an hour. Kettletown State Park on Lake Zoar and Black Rock State Park near Watertown are the closest state-run options, while Totoket Valley RV Park in North Branford, Gentile's Campground in Plymouth, and Branch Brook Campground in Thomaston offer private full-hookup and family-style camping.
Options in the immediate Fairfield area are limited, so most trips involve driving north or east into Litchfield and New Haven counties. The mix of state park campgrounds and family-run parks makes the area workable for weekend trips, longer summer stays, and shoulder-season getaways alike.
Things to do near Murray
Outdoor activity centers on the Western Highlands and the Housatonic and Naugatuck river valleys. Black Rock State Park sits on the Mattatuck Trail and features Black Rock Pond, a designated trout park regularly restocked with brown and rainbow trout, plus hiking to ledges with views over the Naugatuck Valley. Kettletown State Park borders Lake Zoar and has more than six miles of trails, though visitors should confirm current access following the 2024 flood damage.
Family-oriented private parks add pool time, pickleball, playgrounds, and fishing. Branch Brook Campground has a pool, pickleball courts, and a stocked brook for fishing, while Gentile's Campground sits close to Lake Compounce and Quassy amusement parks.
Fairfield's coastline, New Haven's museums, and Metro-North rail access to New York City are all reachable as day trips from Murray.

Connecticut's public campgrounds run on a seasonal calendar. Black Rock State Park's 2026 season runs from late May through mid-October, with early-season camping designated as rustic (no showers or running water) until Memorial Day. After Labor Day, standard sites are walk-in only Sunday through Thursday, with advance reservations available for Friday and Saturday nights. Kettletown State Park's campground sustained flood damage in the August 2024 rainfall event and will remain closed for the 2026 and 2027 seasons, so travelers should check the Connecticut DEEP site before planning a stay there.
Private parks tend to run longer. Branch Brook Campground typically operates from early April into early November, and Gentile's Campground stays open through the warmer months with pool and activity programming.
Summer weekends and holidays fill quickly, especially at state parks. Late spring and September offer cooler nights, fewer bugs, and easier reservations.

Marcie16 trips - Joined Jul 2022
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.

Reservations must be made at least one day ahead of arrival and can be booked up to eleven months in advance, which matters for peak summer weekends at Black Rock. Check-in is 1:00 PM for sites and 2:00 PM for cabins, with a noon check-out.
Private parks book directly. Totoket Valley RV Park, Gentile's Campground, and Branch Brook Campground each take reservations by phone or through their websites, and many of their sites are held by seasonal renters, so calling ahead is recommended.
