Campgrounds Tentatively Scheduled to Re-Open Monday, August 23
(HARTFORD)—All state campgrounds will close on Saturday, August 21st, at 4 p.m., ahead of Tropical Storm Henri, expected to arrive this weekend. Campgrounds will be closed at least until 1 p.m. on Monday, August 23rd.
All campers in all campgrounds will be required to leave the campground during the closure period. RV equipment (trailers, motorhomes) may remain, at the risk of the owner, but campers will not be allowed to return to retrieve equipment or any belongings left during the closure period. All other equipment (tents, etc.) must be broken-down and stored inside RVs or taken off site.
Refunds (up to 2 nights) will be issued for all campers at state campgrounds with a reservation for Saturday and/or Sunday nights. Campers at state campgrounds arriving on Friday will have the choice to stay Friday night, or not, and receive a refund for Friday night if they choose to not stay.
It's possible that day use areas (state parks, facilities, state forests, etc.) could also close this weekend. Any such closures will be made throughout the weekend and communicated publicly via the @CTStateParks Twitter feed. Visitors to state lands/facilities this weekend are encouraged to check the State Parks Twitter feed prior to venturing out.
