Campgrounds and RV parks near Poquonock Bridge, CT

Poquonock Bridge sits on the Connecticut shoreline in the Groton area, minutes from Mystic and the mouth of the Thames River. The location puts RV renters within a short drive of coastal state parks, the submarine base, and the Mystic Seaport and Aquarium corridor, making it a practical base for a Long Island Sound trip. Campground options in the area range from resort-style parks with pools and activity calendars to smaller wooded parks. Sun Outdoors Mystic and Mystic KOA Holiday sit closest to the village of Mystic itself, while Strawberry Park Campground and Hidden Acres Campground are inland options with fuller amenity lists. Aces High RV Park lies west toward East Lyme and works well for travelers combining Mystic with Rocky Neck State Park. Connecticut's state park system also runs coastal campgrounds within reach, including Rocky Neck in East Lyme, a 700-acre park with a half-mile crescent beach and 160 campsites in open and wooded settings, plus Hammonasset Beach farther west, which broadens the choices for renters who want beach access.

Private campgrounds in the area take reservations directly through their own websites or through Campspot and the KOA booking system.
