Nestled deep in the Natchaug River Valley, Nickerson Park Family Campground offers an escape from the bustle and noise of every-day life, while positioning guests at the heart of over 12,000 acres of State Forest.
Whether you prefer tenting along the river, or rolling in style in larger buses, Nickerson Park offers a wide range of campsites; from riverside sites with water, electrical and cable connections, to full-hookup pull-through sites that include 50 amp electrical service and on-site sewer.
The section of the Natchaug River that trails along the banks of the campground is designated as a Trophy Management Area (TMA). Well-stocked with a variety of large trout, the clear waters and dynamic terrain, including deep pools and large rapids, offer our guests access to world-class fishing, and fun for all ages.

State and Federal regulations prohibit the transport of firewood throughout Connecticut.
To comply with these regulations, Nickerson Park does not allow outside firewood to be brought onto the grounds.

Each week, a different local pastor brings the Word.
