About
Wolf Den Campground (Mashamoquet Brook State Park) is a Connecticut State Park campground with 34 sites near Pomfret Center. The larger, better-equipped of Mashamoquet Brook State Park's two separate camping areas, with restrooms, showers, and drinking water. See also "Mashamoquet Brook Campground," the park's other, more rustic camping area. Electric and water hookup sites available (confirmed via live per-site amenity data, not just the site-type name). Reservable through Connecticut State Parks' own ReserveAmerica contract (connecticutstateparks.reserveamerica.com), up to 11 months in advance. Connecticut's camping system is uniformly reservation-based - no first-come-first-served-only campground was found in this state's system.
Fees
$14/night for CT residents, $24/night for non-CT residents (portal.ct.gov DEEP fee schedule, park-wide rate covers both Mashamoquet Brook camping areas). Plus a ReserveAmerica reservation processing fee. Pets are NOT allowed here - Connecticut DEEP's own policy: "Pets are prohibited in State Park camping areas, but permitted at State Forests." (ctparks.com/camping, confirmed live.)
