Housatonic Meadows State Park Comments & Reviews
Visited Housatonic Meadows State Park Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Housatonic Meadows State Park?
This is a great park. Loved camping along the river. No hook ups but even at the end of July we did not miss the air conditioner. Very quiet during the week and fill on Friday. Had an awesome dinner with 9 through hikers from the AT. They recently removed 34 of the campsites from this park to make the sites bigger. There are now 61.
Is beer and wine allowed?
Hi Brent,
Housatonic State Park does not allow any alcohol in the State Park (so no beer or wine).
I’m interested to camp at this place with big family & friends(around 5families)
Is there any playground for kids? Or falls or what kind of activities beside the hiking?
Thank u

The campground is nice, clean and spacious. The bathroom was a bit dirty but we had a blast. I will def come back again.
Dear ranger what does non electric mean & what do the cabins have?
Hi Debra,
Housatonic Meadows State Park rustic cabins have electricity, 2 bedrooms, 5 beds, a picnic table, fire ring and porch.
The campsites are ‘non-electric’ meaning there are no electric hookups at the campsites.
