Boondocking in Connecticut!

Boondocking in Connecticut is nearly impossible due to the shortage of federal recreation lands and limited state lands. There are some free camping opportunities, otherwise, most boondocking sites are based on the generosity of private businesses, such as casinos, rest areas, and boat ramps. Before you go boondocking in Connecticut, make sure you check the laws and regulations specific to camping on public lands in the state. You may need a permit or follow certain rules to avoid fines or penalties.
