Tolland State Forest campground
Tolland State Forest
The camping area itself has 92 campsites, with options for RVs, trailers, and tents. There are also several amenities available, including hot showers, flush toilets, and a dump station. The campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but reservations are recommended during peak season.
One interesting fact about the area is that it was once home to a thriving logging industry, which operated in the early 1900s. Today, visitors can explore the remnants of this industry, including old logging roads and machinery.
The best time of year to visit Tolland State Forest camping area is during the summer months, when temperatures average in the mid-70s. This is also the peak season, so reservations are recommended. However, the fall offers stunning views of the changing foliage and cooler temperatures for hiking and exploring.
