Campgrounds near Shorehaven
Shorehaven sits in southern Dutchess County, New York, within easy reach of the Hudson Highlands and the Litchfield Hills across the Connecticut border. RV renters have a mix of private full-hookup parks and rustic state-run campgrounds within about an hour's drive, spanning two state park systems: New York State Parks and Connecticut DEEP.
The closest option is Sylvan Lake Beach Park Inc, a 65-acre wooded private campground on a private beach along Sylvan Lake in Hopewell Junction, with full-hookup RV sites, rustic tent sites, a sandy beach, playground, laundry facilities, two bathhouses and a propane filling station. To the west in Putnam County, Pelton Pond at Clarence Fahnestock State Park sits within more than 14,000 acres of Hudson Highlands forest and recreation land, roughly one hour north of New York City.
East across the border, Macedonia Brook State Park and Lake Waramaug State Park Campground sit in Kent and New Preston, Connecticut, while Interlake RV Park & Campground offers a private alternative in the broader region.
Things to do near Shorehaven
Hiking dominates the area. Clarence Fahnestock State Park has more than 50 miles of trails ranging from easy walks to strenuous hikes, with forests, lakes, and mountain views. At Macedonia Brook, over 10 miles of trails include some of the more challenging ascents in Connecticut, and the Blue Trail crosses Cobble Mountain and several other peaks with views of the Catskills and Taconic Mountains.
Swimming and paddling are widely available. Canopus Lake at Fahnestock is a popular summer swimming spot with a sandy beach, and rowboats and canoes rent on Canopus and Pelton Ponds. Lake Waramaug allows car-top boating, lake fishing, picnicking, swimming, and canoe and kayak rentals, and Sylvan Lake Beach Park offers swimming and non-motorized boating.
Anglers can target bass, pickerel, perch, or brook and rainbow trout in Fahnestock's lakes and ponds, and enjoy stream fishing at Macedonia Brook.

State-run campgrounds in this area follow a warm-season schedule. Macedonia Brook State Park's next season opens Friday, May 22, and the following season opens Friday, May 28.

Fall foliage draws heavy weekend traffic in late September and October, especially around Lake Waramaug.

Pets and alcohol are prohibited at both Lake Waramaug and Macedonia Brook, which matters for RV renters traveling with dogs.
