About

Wildwood State Park comprises 600 acres of undeveloped hardwood forest terminating on a high bluff overlooking Long Island Sound. The campground features 314 campsites, including 242 tent sites and sites with full hookups for trailers and RVs. The park also offers 10 cottages available for seasonal rental. Campers enjoy access to a two-mile beach on Long Island Sound, perfect for swimming and fishing during warmer months. The park provides numerous amenities including showers, a dump station, camp store with firewood sales, picnic areas, playgrounds, basketball courts, and ball fields. Over 12 miles of marked trails wind through the forest for hiking and cross-country skiing. During summer, the campground hosts recreation programs, weekly movies, and line dancing events. Each campsite includes a picnic table, and campers must provide their own metal fire containers for campfires.
