ScoutWe picked this campground because we wanted to explore both Connecticut and Rhode Island without changing campsites halfway through the trip. It worked really well for that. We spent most of the day out exploring and came back in the evening to make dinner at the RV. Much more relaxing than bouncing between hotels.
ScoutStayed for a weekend. Staff was super friendly and the park was very clean. Enjoyed some fishing and caught some small trout with my kids. Very relaxing and enjoyed our stay.
ScoutI do not recommend staying at this campsite. As you can't drive to the Campsite, as you have to come on a kayak or canoe.
TravelerOverall a superb spot to either stay put and enjoy the camp, park and beach or to use as a base to explore the region. Huge campground, yet peaceful. Online map would make it seem spaces are tight but it is a very big area and so ample room to stretch out your space. Not a lot of privacy as most spaces are out in the open or light tree area but it is not an invasive feeling situation. Very popular for CT families with biking, walking and the beautiful beach right here. Lots of grass, level sites. A few sites have electric but not many and this seems to be the big rig area. Most people are tent or small camper setups. Bathrooms clean, hot water reasonable temp. Dish washing stations at each restroom. Movies at night (kids). The state park is really pretty and well maintained. The area towns are very pretty and remarkably quiet in general (not many tourist traps) and its easy to access various shoreline parks, drives, viewpoints. I'd avoid the spots very nearest the park road as it does get a lot of day visitors to the park/beach. I'm here late August and schools go back this week so midweek the campground is less than half full but I believe it will fill for the weekend.
ScoutWe brought the camper for a quick two-night getaway and spent most of our time doing absolutely nothing. Cooked outside, read a little, and finally slowed down for a weekend.
ScoutWe use Oakhaven as our first camping trip of the year typically it’s near a home less an hour away yet it feels like it’s much further. Well, located in a small community in southwestern Massachusetts. You can access a lot of tourist areas for day trips if you’re so inclined like Sturbridge mass or the Cobb and Reservoir area. This is a great campground for dogs nice areas to take a walk and also out into the main town area. Owners are pretty chill. There isn’t a ton of activities or special events. Just a few to keep things interesting. Camp store is well stocked.
Scoutgreat location, with pool, electric and bathrooms/showers. close to ferry
ScoutNice campground for a quick stop. Our site was easy to get into, everything worked like it should, and we had a peaceful night before getting back on the road.
ScoutCame here for a quick weekend away and had a great time. We walked around, checked out the pond, and spent most of the night sitting by the fire. Nice easygoing place.

"Across the street from the campground is a trail to Chapman Falls, which will take less than 10 minutes to hike to, but it's a pretty waterfall," notes one camper.

Casino excursions: Odetah Camping Resort in Bozrah serves as a convenient base for visiting nearby gambling venues. "Tucked away in the woods I never knew this was there!

Swimming options: Rocky Neck State Park Campground in East Lyme offers beach access that campers frequently mention. "The beach can be crowded. But it is worth it. Nice food shack. Great family place," writes one visitor. The campground includes several walking trails along the shoreline leading to the beach area.
Privacy levels: Campgrounds in the area vary significantly in site spacing and privacy. At Devil's Hopyard State Park Campground, "The sites are very open, not wooded so you have little privacy from adjacent sites," according to one camper. In contrast, Hopeville Pond State Park offers more secluded options: "If you are looking for privacy and quiet, I recommend the F Loop."
Wooded settings: Several campgrounds feature heavily wooded sites. "Most amazing weekend with tons of woods (privacy is huge for us)... We've been to campgrounds with playgrounds worse than the waters edge dog park," mentions a Waters Edge camper. The campground's natural setting includes trails and wooded areas surrounding almost every site.
Noise considerations: Some state park campgrounds have minimal staff presence for enforcement of quiet hours. At Hopeville Pond State Park Campground, "Quiet hours at night are not strictly enforced so you may hear people up and around until midnight or later." Similarly, Devil's Hopyard visitors note: "Unfortunately our second night had some noisy obnoxious neighbors and there are no staff on site to monitor noise levels."
Wildlife awareness: Encounters with local wildlife are common at campgrounds in the region. "Be very careful with ticks, there were tons of them under our picnic table and by the campfire. Our 2 nights we found over 25 ticks, mostly from sitting at the table when we first arrived," warns one Devil's Hopyard camper. Skunks are also frequently mentioned at multiple campgrounds.
Bathroom facilities: Bathhouse conditions vary significantly between campgrounds. At Salt Rock Campground, "Bathrooms are atrocious - stall doors have no locks, metal fittings are rusty, paint is peeling, showers are lukewarm and temp cannot be changed." Conversely, Mystic KOA receives praise for having the "Cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen at a campground."
Scheduled activities: Strawberry Park in Preston organizes numerous family-friendly events. "When my family went here it poured! And we were thankful that there were so many things to do, painting ceramics, karaoke, an arcade... Bingo is always a family favorite and they even had that as well!" For rainy days, the indoor recreation options can salvage otherwise challenging weather conditions.
Kid-friendly facilities: Multiple campgrounds near Bozrah feature playgrounds and recreation areas designed for children. At Odetah Camping Resort, "There is lots to do at the campground especially for kids. Each weekend has a big schedule of events- farmers' market, themed activities and a band. In addition there is good fishing on the pond, mini-golf, pool and splash pad."
Family swimming spots: During summer months, campground swimming areas provide relief from the heat. "The salt water pool was clean," notes a Waters Edge visitor, while Odetah Camping Resort features "a pool, splash pad, boats, food, ice cream, lots of activities." These swimming facilities become central gathering points during peak season weekends.
Site leveling: RV campers should prepare for varying site conditions throughout the region. At Salt Rock Campground, one visitor notes: "The site was level, it's septic post on the site plugged with cement, its electric box a bit rusty." Sites that appear level may require adjustments upon arrival.
Hookup availability: Hookup options differ significantly between state parks and private campgrounds. At Aces High RV Park, "Sites and roads are a pea gravel material and each site has large grassy areas around it... All sites but one (#67) are full hook up." The private campgrounds generally offer more reliable utility connections than state parks.
Accessibility considerations: Campground layouts and road conditions impact RV navigation. "Easy to maneuver" is how one camper describes Aces High RV Park, noting its "Many pull-thru sites, maybe 20 back ins on a pond." By contrast, state park campgrounds often feature tighter turns and more challenging access for larger rigs.
