Wilgus State Park

The fifteen campsites of this small park are strung out between the Connecticut River and US 5. Most are large and level. We were in site 4 which is exceptionally nice with a huge parking area and a glimpse of the river through the trees. Amenities include restroom with running water, pay showers, and a dump station.
A trail parallels the sites that are on the east side of the park road. Heading north, it's accessible to an overlook with an open view of the river. Heading south it goes downhill to a canoe and kayak launch and is not accessible. The two short loop trails are not accessible. Although site 4 is not designated as accessible it's definitely usable. The restrooms and showers are designated as accessible but we did not check them out.
Even though this is a small campground and the sites fill on the weekends, it's very easy to get a site mid week. First come-first service campers are not charged a reservation fee. Campground 43.39006, -72.40669
