Several RV campgrounds within 30 miles of Lebanon offer full hookup options for motorhome travelers. Sun Outdoors Mystic offers RV sites with 50-amp service, water, and cable TV on gravel pads from April through October. Aces High RV Park in East Lyme features concrete pad sites with full hookups including 50-amp electric and sewer connections, with spacious premium waterfront locations available. Ross Hill RV Park in Lisbon accommodates big rigs with pull-through sites and includes full hookup options. Salt Rock Campground in Baltic provides electric, water, and sewer hookups with some sites suitable for larger motorhomes. "Our site was a nice long, level pull-thru with 30 amp and water. The section we were in was very big rig-friendly with one site that can be used as a pull-thru."
Many campgrounds in the region require advance reservations, particularly during summer months and fall foliage season. Access roads vary significantly between facilities, with some parks featuring tight turns or low-hanging branches that may challenge larger RVs. Most RV sites in the area provide 30-amp service, though 50-amp connections are available at select locations including Countryside RV Park and Aces High. Dump stations are present at most parks, though Salt Rock and Aces High offer full sewer connections at individual sites. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region. One camper noted that "water pressure was at 50 psi" at Fishermen's Memorial State Park, located about 45 minutes southeast in Rhode Island, which offers an alternative location with level sites for larger rigs.
"This park is in a great location for exploring Mystic. You are close to downtown, the aquarium, Mystic Seaport and other attractions."

"Clean, family friendly campground. Pet friendly with plenty of area to walk. Close to I-95 and 15 minutes from the beach. fishing areas for the kids."

"Nice campground, a mix of seasonal & short-term visitors. The sites are VERY close, but the people are nice and we had a great stay."
"Family friendly"
"The manager was able to give me a great campsite away from all of the RVs and cabins. It was right at the entrance however you did have to hike up a short 50ft hill to get to the site."
"We had an incredible stay at Douglas Forest RV Resort! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how peaceful and well-maintained everything was."
"They have a playground, pool, and yard games for the kiddos to use. Wish they had bigger grass sites. I think they will have some in the future."

TravelerSmall but quaint park. It is the off season, but there are numerous folks here. Propane fill available. They stock the river behind the park with trout. Walking path in the woods along the river. Staff are friendly and helpful.
ScoutClean, nice and friendly camping experience
ScoutLots of seasonal campers here. Some damaged trailers in a few spots just sitting there- not sure what the campsites plan is. Bathrooms clean. I saw a schedule of activities for the upcoming weekend and it looks like they offer some nice things for kids. There is a pond in the front for fishing.
LegendThis campground is associated with a large amusement park. We were there in the fall when the amusement park was closed so the campground was not very busy but image it would have a very crowded feel if you were there during the summer. The RV sites are buddy sites which is never our favorite set-up (unless we are traveling with friends). Luckily, there was no one in the site next to us during our stay. The campground is big rig-friendly with roads and sites wide and long enough to accommodate any size RV; however, the road and roundabout you encounter when entering the campground is tight. There was very little traffic when we entered so navigating the entrance booth and roundabout was doable. The RV slots you pull into to check in at registration are far too short to accommodate large RVs with their tow vehicles and we ended up taking up four spaces. The tent sites are set away from the cabins and RV sites. Some are nicely tucked up against the tree line while others are in a grassy area and others are sandy nestled under some scrubby pine trees. One of the problems with the location of the tent sites is that they are far away from the bathrooms. Garbage cans are scattered throughout the campground so you don’t have to walk very far to dump your trash. There is no sewer but the electric (50-amp) worked well. There is cable but the channels were not HD so we switched to our over-the-air antenna and got great HD reception with about 60 channels. There is wifi but we could not get it at our site so we just used our Verizon hotspot (which had great reception). The water pressure is very high so we dialed our regulator back to around 45. Roads and sites are gravel. All the sites are level and have a picnic table and fire pit. We noticed that some of the fire pits needed to be cleaned out because rude campers littered them with water bottles, cans, and other garbage in the fire pits. One of the downsides is the noise from local recycling/transfer station. There is a dump station set to the side as you enter/exit. It was a little tight for us getting our 45’ RV in there but it was doable. There is only one sewer dump so we can image that it can be pretty backed up on Sundays when everybody checks out.
ScoutAfter a busy summer, we wanted somewhere we could just park the camper and slow down for a few days. Sterling Park worked out great for that. We spent one morning fishing, walked the trails later in the day and finished the evening around the fire. Nothing complicated, just a really enjoyable camping weekend.
ScoutAfter a busy few weeks, this was exactly the break we needed. The kids went swimming, we did some fishing, and everyone came home tired in a good way lol.
ScoutWe came with another family and had a blast. The kids disappeared together for half the day while the adults hung around the sites. Between fishing, the pool and the other activities, everyone found something they liked. Would definatly come back.
ScoutWhite Pines made a really good home base for our trip. We spent most of the days checking out different spots around northwest Connecticut and came back here in the evenings. Made dinner outside, had a fire, and just relaxed. The campground itself had everything we needed without having to make a bunch of extra trips into town.
ScoutOur kids are already asking when we can go back. They loved the pool, playground and all the space to run around. We mostly just sat back and enjoyed having a few days off.

Kayaking on local waters: Several campgrounds offer water access for paddling.

Multiple fishing spots are available within walking distance of most sites.
Hiking nearby trails: Explore wooded paths at Salt Rock Campground where "there are some nice hiking trails along the river." The trails range from easy walks to more moderate terrain, suitable for various skill levels and ages.
Explore Mystic attractions: Within 30 minutes of most Lebanon area campgrounds, Mystic offers multiple day-trip options. A camper at Seaport RV Resort notes, "One day we launched our kayaks north of the drawbridge in town at the public launch and paddled down to Mystic Seaport which was fun to see the historic boats from the water."
Clean, well-maintained bathrooms: Campers consistently mention bathroom cleanliness as a priority. At Aces High RV Park, visitors appreciate that "Spots are well organized and no issues with hookups. Propane is available at the store." The park maintains clean facilities throughout the camping season.
Spacious sites with privacy: Site layout and size matter to campers in this region. "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," writes one Aces High RV Park visitor.
Water features and recreation: Ponds and pools rank high on camper priority lists. Sturbridge RV Resort offers "Cool pond for paddle boats and canoeing! Family friendly" activities throughout the summer months, with lifeguarded swimming areas available during peak season.
Reservation requirements: During peak season (June-October), advance booking is essential. Most campgrounds fill quickly, especially for holiday weekends and fall foliage season. Sites at Countryside RV Park are described as "Beautiful, family owned & run, quiet, large sites. Close to I-395," making them popular choices that book quickly.
Variable cell service: Connectivity differs significantly between campgrounds. At Sturbridge RV Resort, campers report "Cell reception is not great. Camp link Wifi for a fee is workable unless you need to do zoom calls." Consider your connectivity needs when choosing a location.
Seasonal availability: Most campgrounds operate from May through October, with limited year-round options. Salt Rock Campground operates "May 20 to September 29," while others like Countryside RV Park run "May 1 to Oct 15," affecting late season camping plans.
Playground access: For those traveling with children, recreation areas make a difference. At Douglas Forest RV Resort, "The playground equipment shows its age," so families with younger children may want to bring additional activities.
Movie nights: Some campgrounds offer evening entertainment. Salt Rock Campground features "movie night on the field, and it's right off sites 1-7 and is horribly loud. I understand what they are trying to do with this, and don't hate the idea of it." Check the activity schedule when booking if noise is a concern.
Swimming options: Water activities provide entertainment for children. Sturbridge RV Resort offers "indoor pool with lifeguard," which extends swimming season beyond summer months when weather permits. Natural swimming areas are also available at several parks, though supervision varies.
Site selection considerations: RVers recommend researching site configurations. At Seaport RV Resort, "we camped here with friends and got one of the 'buddy sites' so our patios faced each other. I like this configuration when camping with friends but would not like this site if we did not know our neighbors."
Electrical capacity issues: Power limitations affect some locations during peak season. At Salt Rock Campground, some sites offer "electric, water, and sewer hookups with some sites suitable for larger motorhomes," but capacity varies significantly between campgrounds.
Access road challenges: Many RV parks have difficult approach roads. Ross Hill RV Park accommodates big rigs with pull-through sites, but local roads can present challenges. Campers note that approaching from certain directions minimizes difficult turns and low-hanging branches that might damage taller vehicles.
