4.1 stars

Close to 84, so a convenient one night stop for us. The hosts are nice and helpful. The pond is warm water and seemed clean enough. The beach had several canoes and kayaks free for guests to use. We enjoyed paddling around. The campground is kind if a random mix of full time, seasonal, and overnight people. There aren't any real private spots for rvs or trailers, but a few tent spots looked nice. Some of the full time/seasonal campers looked shady, and the trash dumpsters were overflowing significantly. Some of the seasonal spots on the lake were really nice though, with docks even. The camp store is large with plenty of stuff. There are horshoe pits and a basketball court as well. Our site was right on the pond and playground, which was nice, but had no privacy or shade. The place has a pleasant feel despite some imperfections.

Rustic

We camped on site 15 this weekend. The view of lake from our site was minimal. The site was extremely uneven and no grey water, although website said it did. But overall not bad, the lake is nice and the hiking is good. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Site

We only stayed one night, as we are headed north on a road trip. But wow, this place is really beautiful. Some sites are close together, but it doesn't feel packed. The employees and owners also went out of the way to accommodate our late arrival which was very much appreciated. 10/10 recommend.

Heads up, they are cash or Venmo only so be prepared.

Great Find in the "Quiet Corner" of Connecticut

A short 3 day visit with my son and family who live close by. Site #15, with a view of the lake. We had two adjoining sites, one with tents the other with a RV Trailer. All in all a quiet campground, 5 kids enjoyed the playground, swimming on the beach, and of course the free canoes & kayaks. I launched my inflatable boat (with electric motor) and toured the lake. Very clean bathrooms & showers. Nice camp store. No Complaints on this one (except the extremely HOT August weather)! Will return again!

Picturesque, peaceful, and beautiful!

The staff were very polite and helpful. They deliver wood to your site. It’s a place to get away! I loved my time there.

Amazing Staff & Beautiful Campground

Immediately entering the campground a kid (maybe early 20s) greeted us at our truck and showed us where to pull over for our paperwork. He escorted us to our site and made sure we had everything we needed as we set up. Beautiful views, spacious site and lots to do. They even had free kayaks/canoes for the lake

A beautiful, well maintained, friendly campground on a lake

We cannot say enough about this amazing campground. Our Sprinter van broke down nearby and we ended up staying 4 nights unexpectedly. The owners bent over backwards helping us out, they were just wonderful. The campground is lovely and very well maintained. Sites are wooded and private and the lake is beautiful. Very conveniently located just off I-84. We will definitely return to stay again and would recommend to anyone.

RV park

$60 cash. Maybe tent sites less but not given the option. Not good value. (State parks in CT and MA requiring 24 hr advance rez.)Water/elec. Some porta potties in tents area. A little swampy lake. Mostly permanent summer residents parked with big rigs and plastic decor. But, almost nobody around mid week August. As prev reviews, woodsy, moderately secluded up in tent area. Visited in the time of COVID. WEAR A MASK!

Cute place

My family and I stayed here a few years ago in the tent area. Not all sites are secluded, but we were the only ones so it was nice and private. At the time there was only one port-a-potty for the tent area we were in and no water source. It’s a dog friendly park which was good for us, our dog could swim in the lake with us. Cute patio overlooking the lake as well with seating. Wood delivery is awesome especially since tent area is a slight distance from office, but that is also a bonus so you’re away from the RV sites. Also price is reasonable for a private campground considering the rates a lot of other places charge.

How did I not know about this place?

Connecticut is LACKING when it comes to outdoor activities when compared to some of the places around the country. That being said, it's more rewarding when you find a little gem like Wilderness Lake Campground.

While this is about 60% RVs, the tent sites are great. The host gave us a secluded spot in the back to the point I didn't feel like I was at a campground other than the fire ring. We didn't need bathrooms, water or electricity, but there was a bathroom within walking distance. It also looked like they were building a little outbuilding for Women and Men's bathrooms near the tent sites.

The lake was quiet and we saw kids swimming in it in the morning. There was a hiking trail on the property and the host mentioned they were building a Disc Golf course on the property. Whether you have an RV, want to Car Glamp or looking to feel deep in the woods, this place checks all the boxes. It's also conveniently located off I-84(exit 70).

Really enjoyed our time here

Quaint little campground. Not many tenting sites but along a beautiful lake. Pets allowed. Bathrooms close by 10, something to keep in mind. And they’re cash or check only! Taylor Pond is not far and a great hike to bring both kids and pets. This campground was perfect for us and our dog. Bring your own kayaks or use the campgrounds free of charge.

Best. Campground. In CT.

Man I love his place. Quiet rv and tent site park. Portopotties scattered about and showers and such near the entrance. Tent sites are nice and isolated, but not scary far apart. Lots of wildlife so keep your food sealed... Nice walking trails and free kayaks as available. I always get site 1, it's in its own area with pretty flat terrain. To reserve, fill out the form on the website and you'll get a confirmation. You can pay at the office when you check in. they'll also bring firewood to your site.the kid that works there is really nice but I always forget his name!
