Best Campgrounds near Uncasville, CT

685 Reviews

The camping landscape surrounding Uncasville, Connecticut encompasses a mix of established campgrounds and RV resorts within a 30-mile radius. Several developed facilities like Rocky Neck State Park Campground and Aces High RV Park provide full hookup sites for recreational vehicles alongside tent camping areas. The region includes both waterfront locations with marina access and inland wooded settings, with accommodations ranging from basic tent sites to cabin rentals and premium RV pads with concrete patios.

Campground reservations are highly recommended during the peak season from May through October, when most facilities operate at full capacity. "Clean, family friendly campground. Pet friendly with plenty of area to walk. Close to I-95 and 15 minutes from the beach," noted one visitor about Aces High RV Park. Most developed campgrounds in the area offer modern amenities including electrical hookups, water, showers, and dump stations. The Mystic area experiences moderate New England seasonal changes with humid summers and cold winters, affecting which campgrounds remain open year-round. Several facilities, including Mystic KOA and Strawberry Park, close seasonally from late October through April, while others like Crocker's Boatyard have limited availability during the off-season.

Waterfront camping locations receive consistently positive feedback, particularly for their proximity to attractions and recreational opportunities. Crocker's Boatyard, though technically a marina with limited RV spaces, earns praise for its unique setting and access to New London amenities. "We backed right up to the waters edge practically. The people that dock here were so friendly and welcoming. The pool is very clean as are the bathrooms and showers," reported one camper. Family-oriented campgrounds like Odetah Camping Resort feature additional amenities such as swimming pools, mini-golf, and organized activities. Most mixed-use campgrounds in the area accommodate both tent and RV camping, though some facilities have begun limiting tent-only sites to designated areas. The proximity to popular destinations like Mystic Seaport, the casinos, and coastal beaches makes these campgrounds convenient bases for exploring southeastern Connecticut.

    Burlingame State Park Campground

    Giant area to pick a spot!

    So half the camp ground is closed for bathroom renovations but that still left the whole other half open and the whole campground by the water! The showers aren’t good, but that always comes with coin showers and not being able to choose the temperature. Site wise no one was around us so it was extra quiet and the park rangers are always around so always help if you need it. Walmart is less than ten minutes away too if you’re needing anything. Great location and best park in Rhode Island. Can’t wait to go back and have the bathroom renovations done!

    Fishermens Memorial State Park Campground

    Close to a beach, serenity hiding in city life

    Some areas to hike on a small scale. Nice view of the water. No ocean views. Many unlevel sites. Fairly close together.

    Mount Misery Campground

    Lived up to its name

    Sites/facilities were as expected and I could have been very satisfied with our 1 night stay.  There are a lot of rules for camping here, which is confusing because there does not appear to be anyone to enforce them.  Late arrivals? Noise? I suspect that the couple who pulled into the site next to ours after 10PM with two cars and an infant are homeless and poached the site.  They were not there for the hiking or the camping experience and their infant child screamed or babbled through most of the night.  That plus the adults talking, car doors opening and closing, engine running, baby einstein videos playing...  In the morning they packed up and left.  I'm not an advocate of criminalizing homelessness, but if you are looking for a night in the woods listening to crickets and owls, this is not the place.

    Very quiet. At night all you can hear is the crackling of the campfire.

    Fort Getty Campground

    Great Park Just Not for Camping

    Forty Getty Park RV Campground seems like a great location, with a good bit of history and a lot to offer to anyone visiting, which is why I was eager to visit it this past weekend while traveling through the Jamestown area of Rhode Island. I'd still call it a great place to visit, just not the best to attempt to stay at overnight or camp at. That is something else entirely in this case. 

    THE GOOD👍 Again, an absolutely gorgeous location on the shores of Jamestown😍 that being the park, NOT the campgrounds. The campground itself🏕 and particularly the⛺️ tenting section are pretty far removed from any of that and the water itself in reality. 

    THE Bad. In actuality, the campground looks to be a complete afterthought. More like, What should we do with this little grassy area next to the RV park?... oh maybe that can be for tents! Or,. Where the hell are we going to fit some tents⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️around here? Oh, I know, how about over on the hill by the bathrooms?🚻 next to the RV park fencing? Oh yeah, that sounds Perfect👍 

    The Ugly There's no Ugly. The people seem nice, the park is great,t and everyone working there was polite and courteous. It's just a shame they haven't given any real consideration to the camping section or provided a real space for campers to come enough the area. What you're left with is a grassy knoll with a bunch of tent sites tightly clustered together and right next to or on top of the RV park in a way that didn't seem necessary.

    Niantic KOA

    I mean wow!!

    So much going on! They will give free shuttle rides to 3 beaches & downtown Niantic, CT.

    We had tried to get a deluxe location and not completely booked. This is the weekend before Labor Day and they were vanishing point the owner / shuttle driver, John, asked us if we would want to move on Sunday after a bunch of people moved out. And we said absolutely because we're going to be here for 3 more nights.

    And it is huge and amazing! If you want to pay a little extra for the deluxe request slot 92!
