Hamlin Beach State Park

Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation

1. Bookings can easily be secured online or by phone.
2. As this is a popular campground, reservations are recommended: bookings may be made up to nine months in advance.
3. Same-day reservations are allowed until 3pm on the day of arrival.

When to Go

Hamlin Beach State Park is open year-round but the campground only opens from mid-May to early October. As the beach is the biggest draw, summer is the busiest time in the park. Spring and fall offer the chance to spot migrating birds while winter offers snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. 

Know Before You Go

• If you need to stock up, you’ll find the essentials at the camp store in the C-Loop.
• A maximum of two pets are allowed in campsites and day-use areas, but not in the swimming area, and must be on a leash and have proof of rabies inoculation.
• Swimming is only allowed when lifeguards are on duty at the guarded beach area, typically from mid-June to Labor Day.
