Camping at Devil's Hopyard Picnic Shelter near East Haddam

State park · East Haddam

A forested campground.

About this campground

Devil's Hopyard's principle feature, Chapman Falls, drops more than sixty feet over a series of steps in a Scotland Schist stone formation. The water from the splash pool at the base of the falls, continuing as the Eight Mile River, flows through the park's hemlock-canopied picnic area, providing a tranquil setting for a family outing.
