Great Place to Relax

The staff greeted with warm welcomes and big smiles. Even when I arrived on a rainy Sunday. Stayed until Friday. And the grounds staff smiled and waved as they went by. The family next to me offered me dinner one night after I spent the whole day working on my RV. Spanish rice chicken the works the plate could barely hold it all. No body bothered me and I was right front and center. Kids riding around on the bikes and lots of laughter from other sites. It was nice. Was able to just relax and do some school work and watch some webinars and get some much needed work done. This was my first of many stops on my countrywide trip. From NJ originally. Spent almost a week here in CT hitting Hartford for the weekend then off to Rhode Island. It was great. No water or electric hookup but I have solar and a generator and they have a wash area for dishes and REALLY HOT showers. Lol I like my showers hot butt my biscuits were burnin lol. They also have a dump station and a place to fill up ur water tank as well. 5 star all the way. Side note...the map online is misleading. I thought site 1 was like away and sorta back by no one...ha noppeeee I was riiiight in the middle where EVERYONE saw me lmao. No tree cover or anything! Lol. All good tho. That was my own fault for not calling and asking lol helped me level up on my social anxiety 😂🫣🤗😅

My local go to ..

Beautiful state park, very clean .. fishing, lake swimming, hiking trails. Bathrooms, free showers .. stores within a 5 minute drive. Most of the camp ground site are not secluded .. I like the back right ring in the 80's and 90's to have some privacy and access to the stream. Check out Leather Man Cave, Whitestone Cliffs, Tory's Den, and Buttermilk Falls nearby.

Very Beautiful Place To Visit With Family and Freinds!!! 😎

We were their for 4 nights and 5 days. Very rewarding visit. Rangers and other campers were very friendly. The sites are very spacious and clean. The park it self is also well kept and clean. Lot of good hiking trails with a scenic view and waterfall to discover. Beach was nice, just a bit crowded. Definitely can't wait to go again this year!!! 😎
