    Burlingame State Park Campground

    Huge campground, not many level sites.

    I've never camped in Rhode Island, so I was curious to see what a state park campground had to offer. Rates are reasonable for state residents, but quite high if you are out-of-state, given the amenities. There are no hookups, but dump stations are available. Bathrooms have flush toilets and coin-operated showers. There's a small beach at the pond, a boat ramp, and proximity to wildlife refuges and the ocean. It's a HUGE campground, with 700 sites and 20 cabins. Canoes are available to rent.

    There's a nice playground, a camp store, and a naturalists cabin. Trails are available for hiking and biking. The beach is sandy and there's a small parking lot there, but I suspect most people walk to it. No alcohol allowed. 

    I didn't see more than a handful of level sites, with varying degrees of slope, but many are quite large. If you have an RV, plan to level; if you have a tent, be sure to bring good mattresses to protect you from the roots and rocks and orient your head to the uphill side. Most of the sites have some degree of visual separation from their neighbors, but there are places where it's hard to tell where one site ends and the next one starts. Site have fire rings and picnic tables, but if you plan to cook over the fire, bring your own grate or plan to use sticks and/or aluminum foil. 

    If you don't have a tent, consider reserving one of their rustic cabins. These offer two sets of bunks (no mattresses) and a small porch with a picnic table and fire ring outside. Some are located along the pond.

    3-4 bar cell phone coverage. No road traffic. East Beach is nearby, but parking fills early.

    Black Rock State Park Campground

    A nice family friendly campground

    This is a nice family friendly campground that makes for easy trips. There are a variety of sites available, from open field sites to more wooded and private areas. The campground also has a lake for swimming,trails for hiking, and some nice quiet areas for fishing. Well maintained bathrooms, with available showers, are also spread throughout the grounds. Not pet friendly unfortunately.

    Mystic KOA

    Awesome Sunsets at the Mystic KOA

    Didn’t quite feel like camping, but it was still a lovely weekend away at the Mystic KOA. We decided to head down to check out the aquarium and stayed at a deluxe cabin. It was cute and clean and furnished with linens, cookware, utensils, kitchen essentials, keurig coffee maker/pods, and full-sized fridge. Only complaint was an odd, musty smell we couldn’t quite figure out.

    The grounds are large with vast amounts of space. Be forewarned that it’s right off of 95, and the sound definitely carries. Trees are sparse in areas, but the sunsets were a nice trade off. Amenities seemed nice from what we could tell - cool outdoor movie screen, pools and playground, though we certainly didn’t get to enjoy these things in February.

    Getaway Machimoodus

    First Time Glamper!

    Getaway is fabulous! My first glamping experience was a winner! Machimoodus is one of the newest outposts just outside Boston and NYC. My bf and I went during one of the snowiest weekends all winter, but it was completely worth it!

    First of all, the huge picture window in the cabin is AMAZING. It is just so rejuvenating waking up to freshly fallen snow on the trees - corny I know, but 100% accurate. The cabin was beautiful and rustic, and outfitted with cookware, dishes, a Bluetooth capable radio, essentials like coffee for purchase, books and a shovel for the snow.

    Since the outpost was new, the fire pit was brand new, and despite the snow, we were able to cook on it. Very easy to use.

    Only critiques would be the lackluster water pressure in the shower and how icy the walkway leading up from the driveway got in the cold weather. The water pressure was a small price to pay, however, and the icy walkway is resolved easily enough wearing micro-spikes.

    I can’t recommend enough. It can be a pricy excursion, but the outposts are established in very beautiful settings. I cannot wait to check out more!

    Mystic KOA

    Wasp Breeding Ground!

    Pros: Helpful staff, morning garbage pickup, excellent laundry facility, plenty of activities and amenities for children. Cons: Wasps!! Wasps everywhere!! We did our best to keep them at bay by lighting some sage but they were persistent. Not much privacy back in the tent/cabin areas, camp sites very close together and people have the ability to stare right into your site.

    White Pines Campsites

    Clean Campsites

    We stayed at site 85 in Sunny Crest and liked having some privacy. The sites nearby had some trees providing space between each site. A lot of the sites we drove by were pretty sloped- I would recommend a drive though if you can beforehand.

    The picnic table was chained down so there weren’t many options to set up having the fire pit and picnic table where they were.

    Hiking trails were nice, good variety of easier and more difficult terrain.

    Rocky Neck State Park Campground

    Shady Spot walking distance from Beach

    I’ve lived in CT all my life but never used the Rocky Neck State Park Campground until now.

    The campgrounds are named after water fowl: Crane, Egret, Osprey, Heron etc...We stayed in Egret. We camped at site #4 (sunny) then moved to #38 (shady).

    Both spots were quiet, music low and people minded their business. Equal mix of RVs big and small as well as many tents.

    Bathhouses and toilets were not as cleaned as I would have liked but passable. Coronavirus social distancing required.

    Sites include one paved parking spot (ours was very muddy) a fire pit and a picnic table. No water or electric hookup. Wi-fi not available at this campground. Fire wood is sold at camp office. There is no store in park - no ice either.

    A lot of you children. Short walk to Rock Neck beach. Nature Center has movies on weekends for kids.

    Anyone with kayaks can’t easily get to boat launch. It’s 4-5 miles by car at 4 mile river boat launch. See photos.


Guide to North Windham

Cabins near North Windham, Connecticut offer camping options in the northeastern Connecticut woodland region at an elevation of approximately 600 feet. The area experiences four distinct seasons, with summer temperatures typically ranging from 65°F to 85°F, making it ideal for extended cabin stays between May and October. Winter stays are limited to select year-round facilities that provide appropriate heating systems.

What to do

Kayaking and fishing on local waters: At Waters Edge Family Campground, guests can enjoy multiple water activities. "We tubed down river, fished the pond, swam in the pool, did the hay ride, even attended the dance at night," reports one visitor who appreciated the variety of recreation options.

Hiking nearby trails: The wooded areas surrounding Hopeville Pond State Park Campground provide multiple hiking options. "This park also has plenty of trails for hiking and geocaching. The pond has some really big fish, but it's heavily covered with lily pads and there are a lot of submerged trees. If you're going fishing here, a weedless rig is the way to go," advises a camper who explored the area extensively.

Seasonal festivities: Fall and holiday-themed events are popular at several campgrounds. "We went two years in a row each on Halloween! They had great amenities and activities for the kids. Plus a costume contest and tricker treating. Very enjoyable time," notes a visitor to Odetah Camping Resort.

What campers like

Waterfront cabin sites: Charlie Brown Campground offers riverside sites that enhance the cabin experience. "We chose the best spot for our first camping trip with our new travel trailer. Everyone assisted us and taught us the world of camping... If you go to Charlie Brown's request a site by the water," suggests a reviewer who appreciated the location.

Well-maintained facilities: Cleanliness stands out at several locations. "Sites were well spaced and provided some privacy depending on your site choice. Grounds were well kept, bathrooms were very clean with hot showers (bring quarters, $1.50 for 6mins)," notes a visitor to George Washington State Campground.

Family programming: Brialee Family Campground schedules numerous structured activities. "The campground offers activities pretty much hourly for kids and adults to enjoy. Along with a pool, they also have a beach and a separate beach for dogs. They provide a store with all the essentials, a game room, laundry room, Rec hall, and multiple bathhouses throughout the Campground," reports a guest who appreciated the organized entertainment.

What you should know

Seasonal operation schedules: Most cabin rentals have limited availability outside summer. "This was our families first time staying at Brialee Campground. The cabin was absolutely beautiful and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The activities were great and kept my grand children busy. We had such a great time I booked my reservations for Next July 2025 before I left," explains a visitor who planned well in advance.

Reservation policies: Strawberry Park and other facilities require advance booking, especially during peak times. "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," noted a camper who appreciated the streamlined process.

Varying noise levels: Some campgrounds are quieter than others. "Fairly large campground. Tent sites available but mostly RV/Campers. WiFi in common areas isn't great so if you're planning on working during some down time, this isn't the place," reports a visitor to Brialee who found the environment less suitable for remote work.

Tips for camping with families

Look for cabin campgrounds with specialized children's areas: Multiple cabin camping locations feature dedicated kids' facilities. "Great campground for kids. They have a beautiful pool, playground and a large jumping pillow like a huge trampoline you can't fall off of. There is a beautiful creek that many of the sites border," notes a visitor to Sunfox Campground.

Consider weekend activity schedules: Some North Windham area campgrounds offer organized weekend events. "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, etc. Kids are not bored here!" reports a camper at Odetah.

Check out waterfront cabin options: Several campgrounds offer cabin camping near swimming areas. "This was our first time visiting and my entire family enjoyed themselves so much, that we've already reserved a site for a few weeks from now. Arts and crafts, tractor rides, and of course the tubing down the river. Lots of built in entertainment for the kids!" notes a visitor to Charlie Brown Campground.

Tips from RVers

Research campground layouts: The design of cabin and RV areas varies significantly between parks. "Most sites are even and good sized," notes a camper at Odetah Camping Resort who found the sites accommodating. This contrasts with other campgrounds where space might be more limited.

Consider accessibility needs: When booking a cabin near North Windham, inquire about specific accessibility features. "We did not know until the next morning when we went to pay that we ended up in an ADA-accessible site. It was not marked in any way and I'm guessing that the only reason it was designated as such was its proximity to the restrooms," reports a visitor to Hopeville Pond State Park, highlighting the importance of advance research.
