Hurd State Park Campground offers a unique primitive riverside camping experience exclusively for paddlers arriving by canoe or kayak, with one site accommodating up to 12 people at $5 per person per night (May 1-September 30).

The site features a fireplace, pit toilet, and picnic table on the Connecticut River's east bank, though campers must break camp by 9am daily and no vehicle or overnight parking access is available.

This is one of only four boat-in/boat-out campgrounds in Connecticut's state park system, making it ideal for multi-day paddling trips.
