Best Glamping near Pawcatuck, CT

Clean, comfortable campground aimed more towards glamping. Lots of rv sites and very nice cabins. Cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen at a campground.

Glamp Frogmore offers the privacy of camping while offering extras to make a truly unique getaway. The large tent has a couch, an extremely comfortable bed (bamboo linens, pillows, and comforter included), battery powered lanterns, a battery powered fan, and games. The private campsite has a site for an additional pop-up tent (which they will include for a fee), a fire pit (firewood included), a Coleman stove, all cooking utensils, pots and pans, and an outhouse. Take one of the trails and visit the small pond with Adirondack chairs and a horseshoe pit. The site also abuts miles of Audubon trails. Optional extras include dinner in a cast iron pot delivered in the evening, coffee and breakfast delivered in the morning, a pop-up tent, a dog bed, a cooler stocked with ice and a sampling of local beer, or seltzers, or lemonade, s'mores fixings, and homemade chocolate chip cookies upon arrival.

We stayed at Mystic KOA for four nights over the summer. The campground staff did a great job managing the Covid regulations… We were able to use the pool, facilities and the store and never felt that we were compromised. During our stay we enjoyed our campsite as it was close to the pool. The grounds were beautiful to walk on with water nearby and little places to explore. The beverage truck was also one of our favorite things!! The location of the campground was great as it was easy to find, close to a grocery store, and more importantly close enough to our favorite town in Connecticut allowing us the opportunity to visit the ocean, go out to dinner and enjoy the local stores. We go to Mystic Connecticut every year and always stay in a hotel. From here on out we will do our annual trip with our camper at Mystic KOA! It provided us the opportunity to have our own space all while still enjoying our favorite activities in the area. We look forward very much to next year‘s new annual trip :-)

You just can’t go wrong  with a KOA campground. His place in Niantic Connecticut very close to downtown and the beach which they have a shuttle for. The staff is very friendly, courteous and knowledgeable of the area. Plenty activities for adults and kids and they are putting in a new swimming pool which will be up middle of July . They have spaces for 10 sites and up (I would call to see if you can fit if you have a larger rig ) very easy to get to write off I-95 even though you’re close to I-95, I could barely hear the traffic. I heard, crickets and birds before traffic. 

Pros: 15 minutes from Mystic CT 50 AMP, sewer & water hookup Nice amenities

Cons: Gravel site No shade Tight site & hard to get in/out for big rig

This place, like most KOA’s, is very expensive and it seems that they do not spend much money on their sites. When you have to put 6 inches of leveling material under your front tires just to level your motorhome, that is unacceptable. The front and rear areas of sites are most important to be level. Add more dirt or grade the site so that they are level.

The WiFi was horrible even though the campground was mostly empty - might as well not even say you have it.

I cannot comment on cleanliness of the laundry room and bathrooms since our motorhome is self contained; however, it appears that it would be clean from the way the office was maintained. The staff were friendly. This place has fire-pits. They sell you 6 pieces of split wood for $7.00 ($$$$$). They offer quite a few cable channels.

Long sites with easy access. Mystic is a great town to visit.

Failed us twice. We had stayed a few times and were never treated well. We move to about 7 campgrounds per season. This is the only one we had a major problem. One staff member was not trained well and yelled at us and approached us aggressively as we expressed our concerns with being made promises that were not kept and we were made to feel like we were unreasonable even though others had confirmed our reservations. Don’t camp here! It’s a risk.

 were here to visit the submarine base. But the staff are amazing and the entire place is completely geared to families. This weekend focused on Halloween. It is obvious that this is a real "thing" for the surrounding community. Family movies. Trick or treating and hay rides all as part of the stay. The organization reads the reviews and fixes issues accordingly. I would have rated 5, but the proximity to the interstate and subsequent road noise is too much for me. But for a very family friendly, community based place. Ive never seen a better one.

We love the town of Mystic and all there is to do and see. The KOA is in a good location to visit downtown and nearby attractions. This is a typical KOA that has lots of things to do for kids and families but was so crowded. The pool is very popular but there are plenty of other things for kids to do like mini golf, a fishing pond, outdoor cinema, shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, hay rides, and lots of planned daily activities. One of the most popular places in the campground was the Bar Car which is a converted bus offering frozen drinks for adults (with alcohol) and kids. 

On this stay, we snagged a late reservation over a busy summer weekend so the place was packed. Our site (Q15) was all grass which was fine with us because the grass was nice and thick. There was no defined pad, instead just hookups to back in next to so you have lots of flexibility as to how you park. The back of our site was open to a large field which was nice but across the street in front of us where rental cabins that were always busy. There were no trees at our site and not too much room between us and our neighbors but that is pretty typical for the entire campground.  On this row, all the firepits were in the back of the site so you felt like you were having a campfire with your neighbors.  Some sites towards the front of the park are very close together and unlevel. If you want to be up near the action– pool, bar car, and other activities– get a site in the front section.  We wanted to be as far away from that as possible.  There is a nice tent section tucked away in the woods but you are pretty far from the bathhouse and seemed crowded and loud when we walked around in the morning. There are plenty of rental cabins and they were adding a dozen or so more when we were there. The cabins in the S section are off to themselves and have lots more space. The WiFi was horrible so we ended up using our Verizon hotspot. 

We love going to Abbotts Lobster in the Rough where we can sit outside eating fresh lobster. Abbotts has great food and an equally nice view. Mystic Pizza is a must due to its popularity of the movie bearing its name which stared Julia Roberts. The neighboring town of Stonington is beautiful with historic stone buildings and an old stone lighthouse. Mystic Seaport and the Aquarium are must-sees.

We've stayed here twice due to its proximity to Mystic. The grounds are ok at best with most of the activities closed. Staff is very rude. A good example; "How can I get change for the laundry facilities?" to which the staff member at the front office replied "ummmm ask?". Due to its proximity to I-95 you hear traffic all day and all night. I recently stayed at a KOA in Vermont and had a bad taste in my mouth because of Mystic. I was absolutely shocked at the difference in service between the locations and will likely stay somewhere else when in the Mystic area again.

Spent the 4th of July w my bio-dad here several yrs ago, don’t recall much except there were fireworks that hit several tents, fortunately no one was injured.

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.

Cute place Only downside our site didn’t have a picnic table. Had to drag neighboring site table. Heard lots of traffic from local highway.

Booked online and showed up after hours with no problem. They could mark the sides a little better

Left Burlingame to come here instead. Bathrooms were clean. Staff was accommodating, firewood delivery, daily garbage pickup. Full camper hook ups everything but sewer. Only thing I didn’t like was how close together the sites were, and the sight we were at you could hear highway traffic all night. Lots a fun things for kids to do. Super close to RI beaches.

We used this as our home-base to enjoy the area. Sites are close together, but we still enjoyed sitting around the fire at night after a day at the beach.

The pools are nice and kids had fun. The pond was nice for fishing, but I would suggest that they stock it for more fun, it is in desperate need of fish.

Overall no frills, but if in the area we would stop here again.

This KOA provides a lot to do for kids and families. The pool is small and usually crowded, but still very well kept. And then there's mini golf, hay rides, and lots of fun planned activities. The only drawback is the proximity to Interstate 95. You can hear the highway very well at night, particularly in the safari field. There are only a couple of "primitive" sites here, and I do not recommend those sites because they are very close to the dumpsters. We always rented a Kamping Kabin when we came here, which is a very basic cabin with bunk beds and a small refrigerator.

If you are looking for a big family friendly resort campground that's close to a lot of the area attractions, this place is for you. If you are looking for more of an authentic camping experience, you can save a lot of money by going to Hopeville Pond State Park which is not too far away.

Call me old school, but when I camp, I want trees, space between sites, and privacy from neighboring sites. you won’t get that here. Think of row houses in any city and that’s what you get here. Bathrooms were clean, nice pool area and water slide. Best part of the campground was the Bar Car. A converted bus offering frozen adult and kid friendly beverages.

This is a very clean and well run campground. My problem is that we camped in what is called their Safari area. This area is right up against RT 95. I can see the vehicles going by on the highway through the roughly 30 yards of trees between our rig and the highway. The noise is loud, constant and unrelenting all day and all night. They have numerous cabins here for rent and that look very nice. The kids have what looks like a very nice play ground and the management has put together some Halloween activities for them. We will probably be back, but not camping in Safari area ever again.
