The Property
Rivers Bend is not your typical campground. Tucked away ¾ of a mile off the main road, where Otter Creek meets the New Haven River, our 15+ acre property is a true retreat.
With 77 spacious grass sites, you’ll find room to breathe, relax, and settle in. The grounds are professionally maintained and freshly cut before your weekend stay, so everything feels ready when you arrive.
Here, the world slows down.
You can fish at the river’s edge, float downstream on a tube, gather around a campfire, or simply set your chair in the water and listen to over 60 species of birds. It’s a peaceful oasis designed for rest and reconnection. (MAP)
