Good question. I wonder if there are any camping sites along the Farmington Canal Heritage trail in CT. It’s a paved, off road trail that allows bikes, roller blades, pedestrians

I love that trail but I’m not sure about camping either. I’m not sure if it’s legal to camp on any trail or if it has to be a campsite. I’d probably prefer a campsite with the kids either way.

Oh, here is one , Airline trail ( biking allowed) to James Goodwin State forest (camping allowed.)

I’ve never done that trail though, but you made me curious to find out.

Airline also goes right by Mashamoquet Brook State Park in the NE section which has nice, well maintained campsites

American Legion SF, Austin Hawes campground near Pleasant Valley on River Rd. is real nice. Think you'd have to ride from the rail trail onto 44 past Satan's Kingdom, but the bike lane is pretty wide, then turning off toward the river in New Hartford is beautiful. You might be able to cross the river further south and head upriver on the East side, not sure as I don't mind 44 at all in that area.
