Summary
Camber Creek, a private equity firm focused on real estate-related companies and cash-flowing real estate investments, has expanded its recreational property portfolio in Connecticut with the acquisition of Wolf's Den Family Campground in East Haddam for $7.5 million. The transaction, documented by deed on June 24, 2026, represents the firm's continued investment in the regional campground and RV park sector.
The 35.6-acre property encompasses multiple structures, including a 5,882-square-foot multipurpose building and two older structures—a 3,256-square-foot club building dating to 1900 and a 532-square-foot lodge from 1940. The campground is located at 256 Town Street. The seller was an affiliate of Castle Park Investments, a Manhattan-based investment firm with a track record in manufactured housing and RV park acquisitions.
The Wolf's Den transaction is the second recreational property to trade between Camber Creek and Castle Park in a single month. Earlier in June 2026, another Camber Creek affiliate paid $9.52 million for a larger 165.2-acre campground and associated lakeside property in East Hampton, Connecticut. The rapid succession of deals between the two firms suggests a structured approach to portfolio rationalization and indicates ongoing institutional capital deployment into the recreational real estate segment.
Camber Creek's strategy centers on identifying "innovative" real estate-related companies and established cash-flowing properties, positioning the firm to capture stable income streams from the recreational campground sector. These transactions underscore the continued institutional investor focus on alternative real estate assets with predictable cash flows, particularly in the Northeast market.
