Like a J.R.R. Tolkien book, Mashamoquet Brook State Park is rich with legend and lore. The most famous tale is of Israel Putnam who, in 1742, crept into a wolf den and shot a wolf that had preyed upon local farm animals for years. That very same wolf den can still be visited in the park today, where you can craft your own tale of heroism.After you’ve saved the day, there’s still lots of the park to explore. The name Mashamoquet is Indian for “stream of good fishing,” so it’s no surprise the catches here are fat and frequent. Pull up a lawn chair by the water and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. When night falls, warm fires from the campground beckon. When day breaks, it’s time for a whole new adventure.

A trip to Hopeville Pond State Park is like walking through one big painting. You could look in any direction, prop up an easel and create a masterpiece, assuming you have mad painting skills. Bob Ross would tear this place up.The wooded shoreline enshrouds the pond like a secret garden, and the ambience gets even more goosebumps-inducing when an early morning mist lingers over the waters. Benches are scattered around the pond for you to sit and contemplate life while staring out at the serene landscape. You can fish here too, if that’s how you prefer to find your inner zen. Meditation comes second nature here, so plan a visit any time you’re feeling on edge.

Absolutely fantastic location and everyone involved made the stay a delight.
We opted to take the boat to the island -- which thrilled my 8-year-old to no end. Then, once we arrived, the lighthouse keeper couldn't have been friendlier or made things easier during our stay at this unforgettable location with everything from amazing views to multiple lighthouse tours.
Great from start to finish and we can't wait to go back.

We had an excellent trip and I would highly recommend it! We paddled out in our kayaks and were greeted on the beach once we arrived and shown where to store our kayaks. The light housekeeper was super helpful and showed us around and answered all of our questions. It was incredible to see the lighthouse, and the views from the spot are amazing. The beach was pretty rocky, but it was perfect for a quick dip. Also, they are not joking when they say there is little to no shade on the island, so don't forget a good sun hat and lots of sunscreen.

Judy's cottage on Sip Pond was the perfect weekend stay for us and our water-loving dog. We brought most of our camping supplies but were pleasantly surprised when the cottage had basically everything we needed (cooking utensils, plates, towels, etc.). It was so nice to have drinking water, clean and comfy bed, and clean porta-potty. Waking up to gorgeous pond views was such a treat.
Sip Pond is wonderful - we spent all day on the water, kayaking and fishing. The neighbors that we bumped into were extremely kind and welcoming. We wished we stayed longer! We hope to come stay at the cottage and enjoy the pond again at some point.

We had a great weekend camping on Bakers Island. Just the boat ride there was great fun, particularly navigating the landing craft ramp to get to the rocky beach. Dave the caretaker was there to greet us and help load our equipment up the steep slope to the campsites. He was also always available to answer any questions. Beautiful views around the island. We also lucked out with two night's running of seeing the moon rise over the Atlantic.

We stayed two nights. The keeper David was very accommodating and gave us a tour up the lighthouse! We lucked out that it was a full moon and got to see the sunset and moonrise on the island. Great little trails and beach areas to explore. We spent most of our time relaxing, watching boats go by. The ride to and from the island in the landing boat was quite an experience. Our kids loved it!

Baker's Island's campsites are not for everybody, but they were fine for me.
Be clear about transportation to-and-from the Island. Experienced kayaker's will have one experience, those who travel on the islands ferry will pay more, and be restricted by the available timing.
The site itself is historic, if a bit primitive. You are right alongside the ocean and will sleep with the sound of channel buoys "bonging" in the distance, and the screech of wheeling sea gulls!
While a bit "rough around the edges" I really enjoyed the salt air, solitude, and grace of this special and historic spot!

Beautiful campground with sunrise and sunset both easily accessible and visible. Easy access (once on the island), though somewhat limited activities - fishing, swimming on rocky beach, bbq and some nice trails. No campfires and no sandy beach. Overall great time and would def return.
