KettletownState Park

Already missing the views at camp 😌 it’s usually so calm and relaxing here if you can stand to not have electricity or water hookups for a few days (there are public bathrooms and water access). If you’re in CT it’s a great local getaway ☺️

State parks are the best! I miss living in Wisconsin because the weather is nice most of the summer. It’s too hot in Texas to comfortable camp (in my opinion)
