Tubing the river, fishing the pond, and paddling from the boat-in launch give Hidden Acres Campground a water-focused identity that sets the tone from arrival. Sites are scattered along the river in a forested setting in Preston, Connecticut, and the layout gives most campers direct or close access to the water. The campground runs from May 1 through October 10, and full hookups including electric, water, and sewer accommodate RVs up to 65 feet.
Cleanliness comes up repeatedly across reviews, and it's one of the more consistent details campers mention. "Large well established and clean," notes Barbara P., and multiple others echo that the restrooms and showers are well-maintained. Beyond the river, the campground includes a pool, a small beach, a petting zoo with goats and roaming peacocks, an arcade, a craft cabin, and a snack bar that operates on weekends. Hayrides and evening dances round out the activity calendar, making this a campground that draws families with kids who want structured programming alongside the outdoor access.
For those planning a longer stay in the region, Sunfox Campground provides another option a few miles north, and campers exploring camping near Versailles will find additional choices in the surrounding area. Reservations are available and recommended, particularly for summer weekends when family sites along the river tend to fill quickly.
Description
Hidden Acres Family Campground has been Family owned and operated since 1972. We may be hidden, but that is just one of the many great features that will keep your family coming back year after year. Just sit back, relax and soak up some sun beside the Quinebaug River, or if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, grab a tube and jump on in! For the anglers among us, grab your pole, cast your line and bring in ‘the big one’. However, if all that water is a bit much, visit our Craft Shop to paint a ceramic piece to bring home. There is always something for everyone at Hidden Acres Family Campground.
Within the campground, you will find so much to do. We offer everything; volleyball, bingo, shuffleboard, badminton, horseshoes, and sing-alongs! Nearby attractions are also plentiful, and include Mystic Aquarium and Seaport, Gillettes Castle, Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods Resort Casino and Connecticut Wineries just to name a few.
Hidden Acres Campground also has a wide variety of amenities to make your stay with us as comfortable as possible. We offer a general store for your camping needs, laundromat, clean showers, free cable, free WiFi and with over 180 wooded sites, you are sure to find just the right spot.
