Campgrounds near West Mountain
West Mountain sits in western Connecticut just north of Danbury, within easy driving distance of state parks in both Connecticut and the neighboring Hudson Highlands of New York. RV travelers can base a trip here to reach the Litchfield Hills, Lake Zoar, and the lower Housatonic and Hudson valleys in under an hour.
Public camping in the immediate area runs through two state agencies. Connecticut State Parks manages Kettletown State Park, Lake Waramaug State Park Campground, and Macedonia Brook State Park, all bookable through ReserveAmerica. Across the state line in Putnam County, New York, Pelton Pond at Clarence Fahnestock State Park is the closest large public campground, also on ReserveAmerica through the New York State Parks system.
Private options fill the gaps for RVers who need hookups. Sylvan Lake Beach Park Inc in Hopewell Junction, New York offers RV sites on a private lake, useful because most state campgrounds in this region are rustic and do not provide electric, water, or sewer at the site.
Things to do near West Mountain
Hiking and lake recreation drive most trips. Macedonia Brook State Park offers rugged trails, including a blue-blazed route over Cobble Mountain with views toward the Catskill and Taconic ranges. Lake Waramaug State Park Campground sits on a lake widely used for kayaking, canoeing, and swimming, with a scenic road loop popular for cycling.
At Kettletown State Park, day-use trails climb ridges above Lake Zoar with views of the Housatonic River, and boating and fishing are available on the lake, though swimming is not permitted. Note that the Kettletown campground itself remains closed.
Across the border, Pelton Pond at Clarence Fahnestock State Park connects to an extensive trail network including a section of the Appalachian Trail, plus swimming, fishing, and boat rentals at Canopus Lake during the day-use season.

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.

JONATHAN A. - Jul 2026
Our first van life trip was a success thanks to our wonderful hosts! The van has everything you need to be comfortable camping! Plenty of storage space to bring your own gear! Communication between the hosts and ourselves was effortless! They respond quickly and are very attentive. Definitely worth the experience and would recommend them highly!
