    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.

    Charlie Brown Campground

    Well run Campground

    WE come here every year with our group, RVing Women Northeast Network for our first rally of the season each year for a number of years,  The reason we come back is the way we are treated, because they have pavilions that have a campfires pit and the roof is made so it takes the smoke straight up out of the pavilion yet is protective of those under the roof from rain etc.  VERY enjoyable.  We all park around this Pavillon.  IT is well kept, kids are entertained by parents and fishing etc.  Parties are present but they have quiet hour and it seems to be obeyed.

    Sutton Falls Camping Area

    Georgous, private camping along pristine Aldrich Mill Pond

    We were delighted when we learned we had the little peninsula of site P1 all to ourselves. Stunning views across the large pond, and serving as a wonderful halfway rest/respite on the journey from NYC to Belfast, ME. We felt like we were on top of the world, discovering this perfect quiet nook and basking in nature’s splendor.

    I can only speak for the camping on this peninsula/land, but the rest of the sites looked cozy, family-friendly, and fun. Cabins and RV sites across the lake, along with beaches for swimming. Bathrooms located on P1 peninsula. Canoe rentals on-site. Lovely picnic dining area alongside covered bridge and waterfall. Completely picturesque and, mostly, totally peaceful!

    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.

    Wilderness Lake Park

    Cute place

    My family and I stayed here a few years ago in the tent area. Not all sites are secluded, but we were the only ones so it was nice and private. At the time there was only one port-a-potty for the tent area we were in and no water source. It’s a dog friendly park which was good for us, our dog could swim in the lake with us. Cute patio overlooking the lake as well with seating. Wood delivery is awesome especially since tent area is a slight distance from office, but that is also a bonus so you’re away from the RV sites. Also price is reasonable for a private campground considering the rates a lot of other places charge.

    Rocky Neck State Park Campground

    great experience

    every campsite has its own fire pit with a grill attachment and a picnic table. my site was tent only and you couldn’t pull your car up to the site so unloading and loading was a hassle. beach is a short drive on site and the showers were one site over. I had a great time

    Highland Campground

    Older but lots to do

    The campground is older, and the roads/driveways need work. For those looking for newer facilities, this isn't the place. There are no 50 amp sites. The rec hall and the bath houses are old, but we don't mind the old fashioned spots at times. Reminds me of camping as a kid. There are a lot of activities for the kids and adults. Shuffleboard, bocci ball, fishing, bingo, playground, pit luck dinners, etc. There is wifi available.

    There are a lot of seasonal campers which can sometimes feel like you're intruding on their space. There is a page of rules to follow, the seasonals ignore them.

    There is no black water hookup, only gray water. You have to have them clean out the black or dump on the way out.

    Odetah Camping Resort

    Had no idea it was there!

    Stayed in October 2018. Tucked away in the woods I never knew this was there! Beautiful pond and a good mix of seasonal and overnight sites as well as cabins. Plenty of areas to walk our dogs and have them swim. Playgrounds, bath houses throughout and fully stocked camp store with anything you could ever need. Organized events, cafe on site and quick drive (or Uber ride) to Mohegan Sun.


Guide to Somers

Connecticut's diverse woodland terrain around Somers offers camping opportunities ranging from basic tent sites to full-service RV resorts. Located in the northeastern part of the state at approximately 600 feet elevation, the area experiences typical New England seasonal variations with warm summers and cold winters. Most campgrounds operate from April through October when nighttime temperatures typically remain above 40°F.

What to do

River activities: The Natchaug River provides recreation opportunities at Charlie Brown Campground, where campers can enjoy tubing. "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 recent visitor.

Paddling: Many campgrounds offer water access. At Wilderness Lake Park, guests can borrow watercraft at no cost. According to one camper, "They even had free kayaks/canoes for the lake." Another notes, "Bring your own kayaks or use the campgrounds free of charge."

Fishing: Local waterways support fishing opportunities throughout the camping season. Wilderness Lake Park visitors mention, "There was a hiking trail on the property and the host mentioned they were building a Disc Golf course on the property." The park's lake is described as "quiet and we saw kids swimming in it in the morning."

What campers like

Riverside sites: Sites along water features earn consistently positive reviews. At Peppertree Camping, campers appreciate direct water access. "It's a beautiful campground, located right on a river. My children spent hours in it playing and fishing," writes one visitor, while another notes, "It's situated on the Nachaug River, so it's a popular fishing site; we had more fun tubing down the river."

Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer swimming in natural settings. At George Washington State Campground, visitors have beach access for water activities. "There is a nice beach for children. The water was warm and clean. You can kayak or canoe," explains one camper. Another mentions the "beautiful beach, new pay shower and bathrooms. We enjoyed swimming and fishing."

Privacy levels: Campground layouts vary significantly in terms of site spacing and privacy. One Wilderness Lake Park visitor reports, "The host gave us a secluded spot in the back to the point I didn't feel like I was at a campground other than the fire ring." Another camper adds, "Not all sites are secluded, but we were the only ones so it was nice and private."

What you should know

Cash policies: Some campgrounds have specific payment requirements. At Wilderness Lake Park, guests should note that "they are cash or Venmo only so be prepared." Another camper mentions, "To reserve, fill out the form on the website and you'll get a confirmation. You can pay at the office when you check in."

Bathroom facilities: Facility quality varies significantly between properties. At Brialee Family Campground, visitors find "multiple bathhouses throughout the Campground." However, one camper at Peppertree noted limited facilities for tent campers, saying "At the time there was only one port-a-potty for the tent area we were in and no water source."

Site characteristics: Terrain varies significantly across campgrounds. One George Washington State Campground visitor described, "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)."

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning: Organized events provide structured entertainment for children. At Prospect Mountain Campground, "They have activities every weekend such as dances, bingo, hayrides. They also have a great pool, playground and pond for fishing. They also have a nice little store and snack bar."

Site selection: Choose campsites strategically based on needed amenities. A Brialee Family Campground visitor advises, "The sites are pretty cramped and don't offer for lots of activities to be done at your site." Another camper suggests, "Sites on the water looked nice- hoping to try for that next time!"

Entertainment options: Beyond campground activities, consider nearby attractions. At Charlie Brown Campground, "Taylor Pond is not far and a great hike to bring both kids and pets." Many campgrounds offer recreation facilities as one visitor notes, "They provide a store with all the essentials, a game room, laundry room, Rec hall, and multiple bathhouses throughout the Campground."

Tips from RVers

Hookup considerations: Utility options vary between campgrounds. At Sturbridge RV Resort, one camper noted site "B1, which was water and electric. Close to the pond." For more complete hookups, Brialee Family Campground offers "water/elec. Some porta potties in tents area," according to a visitor.

Site accessibility: Pay attention to site layout details when booking. A Charlie Brown Campground visitor notes, "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." Some campgrounds have specific vehicle limitations.

Service availability: Cell coverage and internet access vary significantly. At Sturbridge RV Resort, "Cell reception is not great. Camp link Wifi for a fee is workable unless you need to do zoom calls." This can impact remote work possibilities during your stay.
