Best National Parks Near Connecticut
While there are no national parks in Connecticut, interstates make it a convenient drive up the Atlantic seacoast to visit Acadia National Park near Bar Harbor, Maine. This park is home to the highest point along the Atlantic Ocean, and there are over 45 miles of carriage roads to explore, along with 16 stone bridges that make for amazing photo opportunities.
Taking the Park Loop Road allows you to visit Sieur de Monts, where you will want to explore the nature center, see the native plant gardens, and go hiking. Then, continue down the road until you come to Sand Beach on the east side of Mount Desert Island. You will want to grab your camera to photograph the stunning landscape at this beach where the rocky shoreline meets the mountains. As you continue forward, you will come to Otter Point, one of the highest Atlantic coastal headlands north of Brazil.
In addition to the shoreline, you will want to explore Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the East Coast that is accessible by car. While you need to stay on the designated paths, you will want to see the rare plants at this location.

When navigating and parking a Class C motorhome rental in urban areas or tight spaces, it's important to take your time and plan your route beforehand. Familiarize yourself with the dimensions of the motorhome and the height and width restrictions of the roads you'll be traveling on.
