best state park in ct they have a huge campground with a camp store where you can rent s fire barrel to have a camp fire or bring your own fire pit I highly recommen buying your firewood from a store outside the camp as the firewood at the camp store never lights i think it gets damp as it is stored in a bin outside the store however you should purchase the firewood locally as to not introduce invasive species into the park or state you can bring your bikes and ride all over camp as well as outside of camp into town they also have a bike path system as well as beach road where u can ride into the beach area plenty of space to toss a ball or frisbe or play other lawn games bring your bbq grill for a nice bbq under the stars they also have a nice playground and some camp activities such as bingo etc they have a great long island sound beach here as well they have east beach middle beach and west beach along with meigs point where you can walk out on the rocks that jut out into the sea for fishing or just sitting they also have a nice nature trail here as well as a nature conservatory with nature programs you can look out at the saly marshes which are host to migratory birds when you go into town be sure to stop at the ice house to get your ice especially if you like to fish as they carry both bags of cubed ice as well as blocks of ice for coolers as well as for preserving your catch of the day places to go in town right outside of camp there is donahues clam castle great food and variety at not terrible prices but expect a wait usually a long wait directly across the street there is the carousel and ice cream parlor where you order from an outside window plenty of outdoor seating if you want to go out at night not alot of nightlife here but your best bet would be donahues right next door to and owned by the same people and donahues clam castle always a great time great band on fri and sat night word of warning bands here finish by 1 am they also have a few places heading down towards the point a few enroute to the point on the msin road one has an upper deck i dont care for the music here but you may party atmosphere gets crowded best happy hour is at westbrook lobster best places to eat include they monkey farm has its own story on menu best sea scallops haywire for burgers and brews lobster landing which is at the marina has THE best lobster roll ever hot with drawn butter mmmmmm for great views of the long island sound visit the point all the way down at end of road where starbucks is attracts alot of fishermen they also have mini golf here also check out the blue crab as well as the river view restaurant also be sure to check out the restaurant under the singing bridge so named because when winds blow it sounds like the bridge is singing
