White Memorial Family Campground

Located on the northern shores of Bantam Lake in Litchfield, Connecticut, the White Memorial Family Campground offers a tranquil, nature-focused camping experience unlike the crowded, commercialized facilities many campers expect. With two distinct camping areas—Point Folly, a 47-site peninsula surrounded by water, and Windmill Hill, an 18-site woodland retreat under the canopy of pine trees—this campground immerses guests in the serene landscapes of the White Memorial Foundation's 4,000-acre sanctuary.

Point Folly's lakeside setting provides opportunities for kayaking, fishing, canoeing, and scenic relaxation, while Windmill Hill offers a quieter, forested atmosphere ideal for unwinding in nature. Both areas maintain a minimalistic approach, with amenities like pit toilets and fire rings, preserving an authentic camping experience. The surrounding property boasts 40 miles of trails for hiking and biking, complemented by ecological highlights such as wetlands, wooded areas, and views of Bantam Lake from iconic spots like Apple Hill.

Located just minutes from Litchfield's charming town center, the campground also grants access to the White Memorial Conservation Center's exhibits, the Bantam River, and a marina for water activities. This is an ideal destination for weekend getaways, nature enthusiasts, or families seeking a peaceful retreat deeply connected to Connecticut's natural beauty.
