American Legion State Forest - Austin F. Hawes Memorial Campground

American Legion State Forest - Austin F. Hawes Memorial Campground in Barkhamsted Connecticut offers primitive (no water, electric, or sewer) hookup RV and tent camping in a forested setting that totals 3,900 acres. The West Branch of the Farmington River, designated as a Wild and Scenic River by the National Park Service, divides the two forests and is the center point of river-based recreational activities including trout fishing, canoeing, kayaking and tubing. Rugged terrain with steep, rocky hillsides typifies the remainder of the forest.
