CAMPING AND FAMILY RESEARCH GO TOGETHER!

Looking for an alternative place to stay for New England CONNECTions? Make your family camping plans today for the third and fourth weeks in April 2007! There is much to see and do and great repositories in Connecticut in which to research your roots while getting the most out of spring in Connecticut.

Visit the Connecticut Campground Owners Association website at: www.campconn.com/listings.htm to get maps, details on each campground and contact information.

There are no campgrounds in Hartford County and only one nearby in Litchfield County to the west but there are many in the four counties in southern and eastern CT. The American Automobile Association (AAA) has its own Northeastern Campbook, 2006 Edition, with a map and details and contact information as well as a quality rating system. See the Massachusetts section as well.

Another campground website is the www.rv-clubs/connecticut_campgrounds.htm.
Most of the area campgrounds open in April but the actual date may vary with each campground. Massachusetts campgrounds close to I-91 or I-84, easy access routes to and from Hartford, may also prove to a good locations for some.

Check out www.campmass.com/directory.htm in particular for locations in the Pioneer Valley (B) and Sturbridge Regions (C) close to the Connecticut line.

Make NERGC Hartford 2007 a family outing and let your roots grow!
