ScoutWe have a 42 ft 5th wheel toy hauler. A few Big Rig spots are available, but this is a Suffock Co Campground that is not well maintained. 2 miles of the Road have many areas of missing blacktop making a very rough ride with low branches. The dump station is basically not accessible to a big rig. Most of the longer sites were very difficult to level.
GuideWonderful weekend visit in the off season. Site was level, pretty spacious and easy to back into. Campsites are located close enough to the beach/marsh. Multiple playgrounds for the kids although they were closed due to Covid. No sewers sites that I could tell, and water was off because we were a week shy of the season opening. Needed to move to dump station prior to leaving (2 night visit) and had to drive to fill the fresh water tank once while there. Nice neighbors. Dog friendly. People obeyed the quiet hours. I have not one complaint. There were hiking trails and geocaching on site. 4 stars bc no sewer at the campsite and we like full hook ups and honestly I’m guessing this is a county rule but the playgrounds could’ve been open. Outside and socially distanced after dealing with Covid for a whole year and most local parks and playgrounds being open since last May... that was upsetting. All in all we had a great weekend. Close to the LI aquarium as well! Many stores and a golf course near by too!
ScoutThis 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.

RangerCampsites Great campsites, wooded and cozy, though a little tight for longer rigs as our neighbors found out when they ran over a wooden post backing in. But spaced apart nicely with lots of vegetation between. Nice and level. Amenities Bathrooms are older and need of some repair but let me tell you I was very happy to see a normal shower head with real hot water! So no complaints here. Laundry facilities were clean and open 24/7 with reasonable prices 2.50/2.00 washer/dryer. And the dryers actually worked. Small dog park, communal spaces, and a camp store all made the place feel like a little village. They even have a wine store- cab sav was good. WiFi I work remotely and WiFi is always an issue. We have Starlink but in a wooded campsite, connecting is an issue but luckily their WiFi was great. Had no issues and could stream just fine. Halloween! We visited mid October and folks had sites decorated and the KOA has trick or treating and other activities every weekend in Oct. we were SO bummed to be leaving on a Friday and miss the festivities because it looked really fun. Would definitely go back. Also, staff was super nice.
RangerThis was a last-minute booking for us and we were delighted with the beachside cottage, with enough amenities that mom and dad did not worry we had their cutie with us for "camping". She's too little for backpacking into the woods but finally got to stay overnight and help with the campfire!
Pros
Cons
GuideWe stayed here on a Thursday night in September prior to taking off backpacking. The campground was clean and quiet. RV hook-ups, tent platforms, and rustic tent sites were available. Our rustic tent site had a few good options for pitching a tent, as well as picnic table and fire ring.
Ranger said that during summer weekends the grounds fill up and can be quite noisy, but mid-week during the off-season it was great. Expect to purchase firewood, although scrounging for kindling was possible. Facilities were clean and what you'd expect from a campground.
Would definitely return!!
GuideStayed here for two nights with my popup and was surrounded by large motor homes/RVs. sites had zero privacy and were all pull through. There was water, electric and sewer hookups at each site, but this was an expensive place to ‘camp’. Bathrooms and showers were not really clean, which was surprising because most people used their personal bathroom/shower in their RV. It is close to the beach, but a very small and rocky beach. Overall, I don’t think this was the best place for us.
TravelerCampground: fairly secluded, forested, breezy with some wildlife. Small camp store. Ingress/Egress: Tight approach with multiple switchbacks and steep grades - if you’re coming in a towable rig over 36’ you might want to take a solo look first. Sites are oddly arranged and there aren’t any FHU sites. Cell: Verizon in spot C9 had 1-bar; we used Starlink for connectivity. Laundry: 3 washers & 3 dryers: $2.50 each. Dump Station: was close by (across the street) but we didn’t need it for our 3 day stay. Bathhouse: across the street, clean and we used it almost exclusively. Noise: Quiet with some small arms fire, but barely noticeable from our site. Site C9: can be viewed from Google street view site is north of the lake in the horseshoe road- some cabins are viewable as well. Site is gravel with composite picnic table, post metal grill and truck rim fire ring. Water pressure- fluctuated 30psi-50psi: hunted constantly. Cabins: available and in good order. They appear to be older, but still functional- mini log cabins $65/night (primitive-no bathroom)
RV camping near Northfield, Connecticut offers access to several state parks with diverse hiking trails and water features. Located in the Litchfield Hills region, campsites sit at elevations between 400-1,200 feet, with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F and cooler fall camping weather in the 50-65°F range.

Hiking Appalachian Trail sections: Near Clarence Fahnestock State Park Campground, campers can access trails ranging from beginner to advanced difficulty. "The Maven has a Matrix Ventilation System, which provides exceptional ventilation on the pack's back panel. This kept my back from being its usual sweaty mess!" noted one hiker who used the park as a basecamp for a "2 1/2 week Appalachian Trail hike."
Swimming at public beaches: Kettletown State Park features lake swimming, though water quality monitoring may affect availability. "The beach is closed after Labor Day to the public, but open to people staying at the campsite. Clean and beautiful," reports one visitor who stayed in the cabins.
Visiting Hudson River Valley sites: Croton Point Park provides convenient access to the Hudson River and regional attractions. One visitor mentioned, "Short 5 minute drive to nearby supermarket to pick up food or firewood. I would highly recommend it. Oh...and did i say, gorgeous scenery along the river and a private beach which is opened from Wednesday to the weekend with life guards on duty!"
Privacy between sites: Site selection impacts privacy at several campgrounds. At Beaver Pond Campground, "The biggest positive about Beaver Pond is how spread out it was. You definitely feel like you have your own space and are not camping on top of your neighbor. Many of the camping options were on platforms which is especially nice if it recently rained."
Access to NYC: Several campgrounds function as basecamps for city visits. Liberty Harbor RV Park offers "excellent access to the City" where "you can see the Statue of Liberty from there!" As one reviewer described, "Location, Location, location. This is all about location. The closest RV park to NYC. It's basically a parking lot with a dump station. Not much else... Two blocks away from NJ Path train into Manhattan or take the ferry to Wall Street!"
Weather protection features: Raised platforms at Harriman State Park provide practical benefits. "Many of the camping options were on platforms which is especially nice if it recently rained or if you are expecting rain during your stay," noted a reviewer who appreciated the design.
Bear activity: Bears inhabit several camping areas. A Beaver Pond visitor recounted, "'Welcome to Bear Mountain' grumbles the park ranger as he sits in complete darkness! He is in his ranger hut, checking in the late evening arrivals to the campground... He offers us a highlighted map to our site, wishes us a good stay, and gives us the run down on bear activity in the area. I mean, we are in Bear Mountain, what do you expect?!?"
Changing locations: Campers should verify current information before arrival. For Skyline RV Camp, reviewers warn: "Be advised that Skyline RV Camp has moved to: 50 Noble St, Brooklyn, NY 11222. The original property location at 2 Oak St was sold and is now private property... There no longer is a waterfront view of the NYC skyline when camping at Skyline RV. The website views are misleading."
Pet policies: Rules vary significantly between parks. While most allow pets with restrictions, at Battle Row Campground pets are prohibited entirely. Campers should check current policies before bringing animals.
Playground proximity: At Croton Point Park, campers appreciate "playground within sight of our camper" which makes supervising children easier. The park offers family-friendly amenities including "cabins and RV sites" with "a model airplane air field and a decent playground for young kids."
Space for kids: When camping with children, site selection makes a difference. One family noted Kettletown State Park "has a huge land of campsite that the kids can run around until their energy out for the night! Plus you would see awesome stars during the nighttime!"
Wildlife education opportunities: Multiple parks feature wildlife viewing opportunities. One parent reported, "We enjoyed playing there, especially chasing the Canadian Geese by the lake. We were there in early June, and were almost eaten alive by mosquitoes when we ventured into the woods. Take lots of bug spray and wear long sleeves/pants, even in the summer."
Site levelness: Many RVers report mixed experiences with site quality. At Black Bear RV Park, which maintains 74 full hookup sites year-round, one camper noted: "Great location and nice, full hook-up sites. Back-in and pull through sites and can accommodate large rigs. A little expensive but everything is included."
Campground infrastructure: Water systems vary between parks. At Liberty Harbor RV Park, reviewers mention: "It's basically a parking lot with water & electric hookups. Larger rigs will barely have a yard. And don't bet on a private picnic table. On a slow checkout day, you might get lucky enough to not wait in line for the dump station."
Off-season considerations: Winter camping requires additional planning. One RVer at Black Bear RV Park shared: "We are returning to the south after spending a couple months of fall in New England... the heated water pipe was broken so we had no water for the night... At least we had a place to park for the night, and power, but unfortunately it was very overpriced for what we got."
