Austin Hawes Campground

I really love a quiet, heavily wooded, small campground with large, private sites and that is EXACTLY what you get here. Sites on the lake are lovely, but sites by the road seem noisy and lousy imo. I was at site 18 and it was honestly perfect! This was the quietest campground I've stayed at all year. Not much for kids, but I think it's lovely for people who want a relaxing getaway in the woods. Wood to buy on site, but that's about it. The water is off now but should be back on today or tomorrow they said; that did not impact my stay. Loved it!

Loved this camp site. Fewer spots means fewer people...😉 Bathrooms were great-3 toilet stalls and 2 warm showers with plenty of space. Bathrooms were freshly cleaned each AM. 4 stars only because we couldn't hear or see the river from our spot. Nothing at camp to do but relax, walk paths, or bike, walk down to swift river which is great. If you want more to do we went to other spots for swimming or kayaking. Camping spots larger and flat with nice trails. River was swift and we went to other close by locations for playing in the river.

Excellent camping experience. Quiet, cool, peaceful. Farmington river runs along the back of the campground. Stayed in cabin 7

Very nice campground, the camp sites are not very close to each other, there are trees in between which offers campers privacy. The campsite is small so if you're planning to walk/hike could be a lil bit of a disadvantage. Our campsite was close to the river, beautiful and refreshing river view, good for fishing as well.The staff was very nice, they offer you pamphlets of maps and rules, bathrooms available with hot water. The only con is that our campsite was close to a roadside so we could hear cars passing by. In general it's a great family friendly campsite.

Beautiful, peaceful and so clean! One of the nicest campgrounds in CT!

Camped here recently and loved it! The staff were friendly and helpful, the sites were large and well-spaced and the area has lots of places to explore and fish. The bathrooms could use a repaint but they were campground-clean (also, they hadn’t turned the hot water on yet). The site and proximity of the river outweighs my negative comments about the restrooms and I hold firm on 5 stars.

Great campground with lots of privacy and nice in the Forrest. You do need to pick a spot that is not close to the road as the campground is just next to a road that is relatively busy so can be noisy if you have one of the spots closest to it. Great hikes in the area.

Great place. Enjoyed black bear activity, kept me on my feet. Best rangers you can ask for. See you on 4/22- 4/24
