Hammonassett

We just returned from a fabulous camping weekend at Hammonassett Beach State Park. It's only an hour from Weston up I-95. The campground is within walking distance to the beach and is flat with huge spaces. They have a camp store, nature center, jetties, boardwalk, snack bar and trails.

We love the town of Madison. It's very quaint with shops and restaurants. There is a really fun restaurant we found today where we had lunch, ice cream and a carousel ride!

This trip could also be done as a day trip. We checked out the park several months ago to see if we'd want to camp there and are so happy we found it! We're going back two more times this summer/fall.

Nearby are the Tanger and Premium Clinton Crossings outlets as well as at least three movie theaters. We went for a ride and went through Old Saybrook and Essex. Connecticut is such a beautiful state! We really felt like we were on vacation-and so close to home!
