Gentile's Campground
Gentile's Campground is a bare-bones facility catering to those in transit--short-term stays are encouraged. The site has a few RV sites, but hookups and amenities are sparse. There are tent sites available, too. RV campers should leave the park each day to explore Black Rock State Park or the Mattatuck State Forest, both of which are within a 5-mile drive.
