Eagles nest is nice
If you stay in the eagles nest and get. Perimeter spot you overlook a lake, it’s nice and quiet. Everyone waves, nice lake to fish on. Front desk/owner? is a sweetheart.
Top-Rated Campgrounds Near Versailles, Connecticut
Campgrounds near Versailles, Connecticut range from privately managed resorts to state park campsites, covering tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals. The area features campgrounds like Strawberry Park in Preston and Odetah Camping Resort in Bozrah, which accommodate a range of camping styles including tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals. Most campgrounds in eastern Connecticut provide water and electric hookups, with facilities concentrated along the region's rivers and ponds.

The Connecticut state park system maintains several camping areas within 20 miles of Versailles, including Hopeville Pond State Park and Salt Rock Campground. As one camper noted, "Salt Rock, September 18-19, 2021: Perhaps one-third full, this was a nice stop. The bathhouses are a bit outdated, but clean and functional." Reservations are typically required at state-operated campgrounds, with most facilities opening in late May and closing in early September. Private campgrounds often maintain longer seasons, with some offering limited year-round availability. Many locations feature riverside camping with boat launch access, though shower and restroom facilities vary significantly between state and private operations.

A visitor to Sunfox mentioned, "This is a quaint campground geared towards families being out together. They have a beautiful pool, playground and a large jumping pillow like a huge trampoline." Waterfront access represents a significant draw across multiple campgrounds, with fishing opportunities in local ponds and rivers. Seasonal sites are common at private campgrounds, creating established communities that return annually. Campgrounds with more primitive settings can be found in Pachaug State Forest, where Mount Misery Campground provides a less developed camping experience with fewer amenities but more natural surroundings.

Kaitlynn F.ScoutDouglas Forest RV Resort
Great weekend.
We spent the weekend here with our 4 kiddos ages 8,6,4, and 3. The kids had a blast. The bathrooms are spotless. They are in the process if renovating but that didnt interfere with our visit. They have a playground, pool, and yard games for the kiddos to use. Wish they had bigger grass sites. I think they will have some in the future.

Enjoyed our weekend here
We did a family campout here and had several sites together. We camped in our pop up in the field. We were close to activities and enjoyed an afternoon tubing down the river. The bathrooms weren't the cleanest, but we've seen worse. We enjoyed our time here.

West Thompson Lake Campground
Nice Campground!
We stayed at one of the lean-to sites and really enjoyed our time here. We went fishing and explored the area. We hiked to the tri-state marker (CT-MA-RI) on a nearby trail. Plenty to do and see! Bathrooms were cleaner than what we are used to in a state campground.

Rocky Neck State Park Campground
Mid May - Mid week quiet and l9vely
Camped early in the season mid week, and it was nice and quiet. The "new" park rangers are take their jobs delightfully serious.
Our site had plenty of sun for solar but in seagull loop there is loads of shade

Pretty, but loud
Campground was great. Site was in great shape, everything in order. Portapotties were large. The road made the trip horrible for peace and quiet lovers. I knew it was close to the road, but right on top of it AND a heavily traveled route.

Rv park
Cute Rv park. Very family friendly, the women who at the office are also incredibly nice and helpful! Seems like a lot of people either live full time or come on weekends but we were able to book a spot for a week.

Fishermens Memorial State Park Campground
One of our faves
We love camping here. From the history of the area, to its proximity to the ocean, to the many places to explore, to the nice sites and clean bathrooms! We have been coming here for over a decade and enjoy every trip. We usually grab dinner at George's of Galilee, and have taken the ferry to Block Island as well. There are a bunch of old military defenses from WWII in Narragansett Bay, including one in the campground. We've tent and camper camped, and enjoyed both.

George Washington State Campground
Good location, average campground
Our first time camping here, we were trying to get a more secluded spot, but the pics on ReserveAmerica were not the greatest gauge of the sites. The sites were OK, some better than others, we didn't have any amenities but there was potable water nearby. There are cabins, which are really just bunkhouses with 2 bunk beds. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. Our loop had porta potties nearby, we only saw one real bathroom with flushing toilets and showers. We did go for a nice hike, the North/South Trail goes through the campground and there are many trails in the area as well. We did a 5+ mile loop and got a good sense of what the trails are like. Found some geocaches and our pups got a good workout.

Most cabin facilities in the region operate seasonally, with limited availability between November and April.

The bathhouses are a bit outdated, but clean and functional. There's river access for fishing and boating." Connecticut state parks like Hopeville Pond require booking through the state reservation system, while private campgrounds like Mystic KOA and Strawberry Park maintain their own reservation platforms. Cabins typically include basic furnishings but visitors should verify amenities as they vary significantly between properties.
Waterfront cabins remain the most sought-after accommodations in the region, particularly at Hidden Acres Campground where river access enhances the experience. According to a review, "We tubed down river, fished the pond, swam in the pool, did the hay ride, even attended the dance at night." Family-oriented amenities are common at these mixed-use campgrounds, with activities ranging from organized recreation to natural features. Cabin sizes and privacy levels vary considerably among properties, with some offering standalone structures while others provide more closely situated units. Several campgrounds feature cabin clusters within predominantly RV-oriented settings. Visitors seeking more isolation might prefer the cabin option at Hopeville Pond, which a camper described as having "tent only canoe sites at the north of the campground" in a "secluded section" away from the main camping area.
