2 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Several RV campgrounds near Middletown, Connecticut offer full hookup sites suited to motorhomes and large rigs. Aces High RV Park in East Lyme offers full hookup sites including electric, water, and sewer connections, with both pull-through sites and waterfront back-in locations. The campground features concrete pads at premium sites and gravel at others. "Clean, well-maintained, and level site with concrete pad and patio. Utility hookups were in great condition and everything worked as it should," noted one camper. Sun Outdoors Mystic (formerly Seaport RV Resort) provides big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp electrical service, though reviews indicate varying site configurations including "buddy sites" that work best when traveling with friends. Totoket Valley RV Park in North Branford accommodates RVs with 50-amp electrical hookups and offers pull-through access.

Pet policies generally allow dogs at most RV campgrounds, though designated pet areas may vary in maintenance quality. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, park roads are typically navigable for large rigs, though some parks have reported maintenance issues with grounds upkeep and management responsiveness.

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.
ScoutBeautiful and rustic campground on the shores of Bantam Lake. I stayed in a tent site with my van. Basic setup. Nice. No activities - perfect if you are looking to unwind from it all.
TravelerThe campsites were big had no trouble finding it. One of the ranges escorted us to the site. The staff was very nice. The bathrooms were immaculate. I saw it being cleaned twice in 24 hours. It was a little partying going on till about 1 AM, but it wasn’t too bothersome.
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.
