Campgrounds and RV parks near Windsor, CT

Windsor sits in the Connecticut River valley just north of Hartford, with Bradley International Airport a few miles up the road in Windsor Locks. That location makes it a practical base for RV travelers: I-91 runs north to Massachusetts and south into greater Hartford, while state routes connect quickly to the hill country on either side of the valley. Most private RV parks used by Windsor visitors sit within a 20 to 45 minute drive, clustered around Southwick and Granby to the northwest and along the river corridor to the south. Southwick Acres Campgrounds is roughly 30 minutes to Hartford and 20 minutes to Springfield, sitting along US Routes 202 and 10 in the Southwick area northwest of the city. The Quarry Campground and Nelson's Family Campground provide additional central Connecticut options, with Sodom Mountain Campground just over the border in Southwick, Massachusetts and Portland Riverside Campground down along the Connecticut River south of Hartford. Connecticut's state park campgrounds are also within reach for travelers willing to drive 30 to 60 minutes to inland forested sites managed through the state reservation system.

Private campgrounds around Windsor typically take reservations directly by phone or through their own online booking systems. Nelson's Family Campground and Southwick Acres Campgrounds both handle bookings in-house, and advance reservations are strongly recommended for weekends and holidays because sites can book to capacity well ahead of arrival. For Connecticut state park campgrounds, reservations go through ReserveAmerica. Reservations are accepted up to 11 months in advance of the camping stay and can be made up to one day prior to arrival at most parks. A two-night minimum stay applies to all camping reservations, with limited exceptions at a few specific parks. Book summer weekends as early as possible. Foliage weekends in October also fill quickly at the state parks that remain open that late.
