I believe that would be Bear Creek; it's associated with Lake Compounce and within walking distance (basically beyond the far end of their parking lot), or I think they have a shuttle service you can take as well. Lake Compounce is a nice, well-run, medium-sized park; I was just there a week ago or so, in fact. The lines at the ticket booths were very slow-moving because a lot of people were getting season passes made. Once in the park the lines were not bad at all given it was memorial day weekend.

Quassy amusement park is in the same general neck of the woods; I haven't been there myself. I think it's a little smaller. There are a few campgrounds that are not all that far away from Quassy (within ten or twenty miles), but none really close that I can find. If I were camping and visiting it, I might check out Kettletown State Park.
