Nickerson Beach Park

Nickerson Beach Park, a 121-acre campground for RV campers, is located directly along the Atlantic Ocean. The Nickerson Park Campground, which is tucked away in the Natchaug River Valley, places visitors right in the middle of more than 12,000 acres of State Forest while still providing a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. There are 74 RV sites at the campsite that are all equipped with water and power hookups, making it simple for you to pull in and get set up. The ideal location for that beach vacation you've been wanting to arrange is Nickerson Beach Park. Take advantage of being so close to the beach by going swimming, playing a round of golf on the golf course next to the water, or starting a game of beach volleyball. You can be sure you won't get bored here.

Nickerson Park offers a variety of campsites, from riverfront sites with water, electrical, and cable hookups to full-hookup pull-through sites with 50 amp electrical service and on-site sewer, whether you prefer tenting along the river or traveling in comfort in larger buses. As a county park, extra vehicles and visitors are quite expensive ($30/day for those who are not county residents). The 5-mile-per-hour speed restriction is tightly enforced, and quiet hours are also observed. There is 24-hour security.
