What campers like
Clean, spacious sites: Aces High RV Park earns praise for its thoughtful layout. "Pull through sites also have lots of space between them so you don't feel like you are on top of the neighbors. Sites and roads are a pea gravel material and each site has large grassy areas around it," notes April L.
Dog-friendly facilities: Pet owners appreciate dedicated areas for their animals. "There is also a creek area for dog swimming. Our two labs loved it!" continues April L. about Aces High RV Park, highlighting how campgrounds in the region accommodate four-legged campers.
Recreation amenities: Multiple campgrounds offer activities beyond basic camping. "The kids enjoyed playing tennis & swimming in the pool at the campground - there is also mini-golf, but we didn't get the chance to play," shares Happy Camper L. about Ashaway RV Resort, noting its value as a base for regional exploration.
What you should know
Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds in the region operate from spring through fall. "We stayed at Aces High RV Park for a long holiday weekend to visit with our daughter in Connecticut," notes Matt S., indicating the campground's availability for family gatherings during open seasons.

Reservation requirements: Peak season demands advance planning. "We camped here with friends and got one of the 'buddy sites' so our patios faced each other," explains Nancy W., describing site options that can be requested when booking at Sun Outdoors Mystic.
Tips for camping with families
Look for multi-generational activities: Strawberry Park offers extensive programming. "I came here on the recommend of a family friend who had been coming with his family for over 20 years... Bingo every night, and more activities than you could possibly do!!! The kids ride their bikes to the sports fields, the rec center for the pool and activities," shares Ryan C.
Consider family-specific sites: Some campgrounds offer specialized arrangements. "Easy check in right at front gate, didn't even have to get out of the truck. Was handed map and daily activity list. Lots of things for kids to do. We watched a magician and played pickle ball on the courts. Kids had fun on the many play grounds," reports Michael C. about his experience at Strawberry Park.
Check playground facilities: Quality varies between campgrounds. "It has a clean playground and well maintained pool as well as some walking paths, large grassy areas, pavilion and volleyball court," notes April L. about Aces High RV Park, showing the importance of recreational spaces for children.
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions and layout: Big rig accessibility varies significantly. "Our site was a nice long, level pull-thru. Hook-ups were placed in ideal locations for the pad which was gravel," notes Nancy W., describing the well-designed sites at Sun Outdoors Mystic.
Utility reliability: Power capacity and stability are crucial concerns. "Clean, well-maintained, and level site with concrete pad and patio (I love a clean, level concrete pad!). Utility hookups were in great condition and everything worked as it should (other parks should come and take a look at how to do this right)," shares Matt S. about his experience at Aces High RV Park.
Year-round options: While most facilities close seasonally, alternatives exist. "We had a great time. Water, electric & sewer sites. Very quite, rules are in-forced. This is camping, if you're looking for entertainment bring your own!" explains Mark T. about his stay at Countryside RV Park, one of the limited options available outside peak season.
