Best RV Parks & Resorts near Voluntown, CT

702 Reviews

Several RV parks surround Voluntown, Connecticut, offering diverse options for motorhome travelers. Ross Hill RV Park & Campground provides big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 30/50 amp electrical service, while Countryside RV Park in nearby Griswold features spacious sites open from May through mid-October with 50 amp service. Aces High RV Park in East Lyme stands out with concrete pads and waterfront sites, earning high ratings for its level pull-through options. "Well organized campground with both water front back in sites as well as large pull throughs. Pull through sites also have lots of space between them so you don't feel like you are on top of the neighbors," notes one RV camper. Sun Outdoors Mystic operates seasonally from April to October with water and electric hookups on gravel sites that accommodate larger rigs.

Most RV parks in the region maintain sanitary dump stations for guests, though Sun Outdoors Mystic lacks this amenity. Cell service varies significantly between locations, with stronger coverage reported at Aces High RV Park and more limited connectivity at some forest-adjacent properties. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most RV campgrounds, with designated dog areas available at several parks. Seasonal availability typically runs April through October, though Ashaway RV Resort in nearby Rhode Island offers year-round RV camping with 257 sites. Navigation to these RV parks generally requires minimal difficulty, with most located within easy access of major highways. One traveler mentioned needing blocks for leveling at Newport RV Park, noting: "Our site had a slight downhill slope so it required some extra blocks to level out." Propane service is available at select locations, including Aces High RV Park where refills can be purchased at the on-site store.

    Newport RV Park

    Great location to Newport

    We chose this park due to its location close to downtown Newport (a mere five miles). There is a lot to do in this area and we wanted to spend time sightseeing. The other camping option, which did appeal to us, was Fishermen’s Memorial State Park but it was a good 30-40 minutes away from downtown Newport and required paying bridge tolls so we decided to give Melville Ponds a go. There is another RV park closer to downtown but it seemed more like a parking lot not very appealing. Melville Ponds worked out the best for us because it was adjacent to a county park with wooded hiking trails, a large pond and an off-leash dog park which were very appealing because of our dog.

    The park has over 100 sites and spread out over many acres. Roads are gravel and easy enough any size RV to navigate. Some sites are set beneath large trees in an attractive wooded setting while others are in an open grassy area with pads being both gravel and grass. The park is a mix of seasonal and transient campers. Site types include full hook-up (max 30 amp), water/electric only, dry camping, and a large tent section. There is a dump station located at the entrance to the park and gray water dump stations are spread among sites without sewer. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. The bathrooms and shower house are located in the middle of the park and were very clean. There is a small camp store, large playground, basketball court, and open air covered pavilion with picnic tables.

    We chose a site in the open because the winds were projected to be 40-50 mph while we were there and we did not want falling branches on the coach. Our site (F4) had 30 amp and water. Satellite reception (Dish TV) was good and we were able to get a number of air antenna channels. The section that we were in was very big rig-friendly and one site that can be used as a pull-thru.   

    The park is open from April 15th to November 15th. Prices vary depending on the season, if you have a weekly/monthly rate, and the type of hook-ups you want. We paid $38/night for water and 30 amp service.

    The park is located within 1/2 mile of restaurants, gas stations, grocery, shopping, and more. Downtown historic Newport is a 10-minute drive away and you are only 35 minutes from Providence.  There is definitely lots to do in Newport and Providence. You can tour 70-room mansions, visit the beach, brush up on tennis history at the International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum, watch boats cruise in and out of a beautiful harbor, shop, eat at fabulous restaurants, and gawk at the charming historic homes. 

    The location of this park was great for what we were doing – not too far from Newport but in a nice quiet section of town. The distance between sites was far enough that you did not feel cramped or on top of your neighbor. The nearby hiking trail was perfect for our dog and while it was just a few miles long, it was great because it was within walking distance and she could swim in the pond. The close proximity of restaurants was an added bonus.

    Douglas Forest RV Resort

    Awesome Campground In The Forest

    We had an incredible stay at Douglas Forest RV Resort! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how peaceful and well-maintained everything was. The RV sites are spacious and easy to navigate, with full hookups and strong Wi-Fi— a big plus for us since we work remotely on the road. What really sets this place apart is the location. You’re literally steps away from Douglas State Forest, which made morning hikes and evening strolls absolutely magical. It’s pet-friendly too, and our dog loved the wooded trails and open areas. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the camp store had everything we needed. Even though the recreation area is still being built, the amenities already in place more than made up for it. We’re already planning our next trip for summer when the pool opens! If you’re looking for a relaxing spot that blends nature with convenience, look no further. Douglas Forest RV Resort is a true hidden gem!

    Newport RV Park

    Clean and quiet camping close to downtown

    We stayed in the premium pull through sites here. The whole campground is gorgeous. You’ll notice how clean and quiet it is right when you first arrive. Check in was under a minute; the staff already had everything prepared which made it super simple. The premium sites have no shade and are a little close to the neighbors. However, they have great paver stone patios and fire pits. They also had a slight downhill slope so it required some extra blocks to level out. Overall, the whole place is a great campground. Plenty of hiking within walking distance and a short drive to all local attractions. Plenty of amenities and a modest camp store as well. I’ll be back for sure.

    Normandy Farms Campground

    Huge park with lots of amenities and activities

    We planned a brief stop in the Boston area with the intent of seeing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and Normandy Farms appealed to us for various reasons. One reason was the fact that they have dog walkers that will come to your site and take care of your precious pooch while you are away. Not knowing how long we would be away from the campground that service was a great option. As it turned out, we did not need to use this service but for some it would be a great perk if you were going to be gone all day. And with Boston traffic, we can see how that could happen. By the way, the library is well-worth it.

    When you enter Normandy Farms it is more like checking into a hotel than campground complete with a concierge and express check-in. The park is gated and a code is needed to enter and leave giving you a sense of security but I’m not sure it is necessary. Driving in you quickly realize how huge this park is with some 400 RV sites, tent sites, yurts, lean-to’s, safari tents, and cabins. 

    There are plenty of sites to choose from the “premium” full hook-up (50 amp) to basic with just water and electric and many others in between. Both back-in and pull thrus are available as are sites with shade and full sun. Premium sites have paved patios while other sites are gravel. Roads are paved and plenty wide enough for big RV’s to navigate. They offer cable television that yielded nearly 100 channels. Wifi worked well at our site and other places throughout the park. All sites come with a fire pit and picnic table. 

    We chose a paved full hook-up pull thru with paved patio (Site E1). Our site was easy to navigate in and out of and was definitely big rig-friendly with ample space for our motorhome and tow car. All utilities were well-placed and functioned properly. The site was level. At the time we were there in October the campground was not very busy but we imagine that things get a little crazy when the park is full. 

    There is a really long list of amenities for this campground….four pools (include an indoor heated one), fitness room (with elliptical, treadmills, bikes, machine and free weights), creative arts center, camp store, 20,000 square-foot activities building (with adult only lounge, pool table, arcade, games, wide-screen televisions, sauna, Jacuzzi), restaurant, huge off-leash dog park (you can reserve individual day kennels), BMX bike park, horse shoe pits, baseball diamond, volleyball, fishing pond, shuffleboard, disk golf, and playground, and probably a few more things I missed. During the busy summer months there is a long list of activities ranging from yoga to kids games.

    Normandy Farms is approximately 35 miles from Boston. If you don’t want to drive to the city, you can park at the nearby train or subway station and ride into the city. You are just five miles from Gillette Stadium (home of the New England Patriots) and Patriot Place (a hub for shopping and dining). About a mile from the campground is Foxboro State Park where you will find 20+ miles of hiking trails. Also within a five mile radius are plenty of restaurants, shopping, hardware store, grocery store, and more. 

    Some of the really good features are the huge dog park which has a dog washing station, water fountains for dogs and humans, agility-type obstacles for them to play on, dog kennels, and a bin with balls and Frisbees. I also liked (and used daily) the fitness center which had functioning equipment and a large television to help pass the time while working out – and was never crowded. The large community building has and adult-only lounge which serves as a nice place for people to get together and watch television or hang out without kids. With everything this campground has to offer you can see why it is a destination park for some people as their kids would be busy all day. 

    The downside really is the price and how many sites there are. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway this is not it.

    Mystic KOA

    Great campground for coastal CT & RI

    We stayed at Mystic KOA in North Stonington, Connecticut, to be tourists in Mystic. Spoiler alert… we had a great stay! 

    This campground is just 15-minutes from Mystic and about an hour’s drive to Newport, Rhode Island. It’s just a few minutes from I-95 and so close to Mystic Aquarium, downtown Mystic, Mystic Seaport, and all the local spots. 

    It’s a well-maintained campground with 2 pools(though the larger one was closed for maintenance during our stay), lots of play areas and daily activities for little ones, and a cool“pub truck” for adult drinks. Our site(#408) was about 85’ long with plenty of room for our 45’ motorhome and toad(and then some!). It was level and gravel with a nice fire ring and picnic table. The hookups worked fine with 50-amp electric and decent water pressure. Cable TV had nearly 50-channels, but the wi-fi didn’t quite reach our part of the park. 

    Due to a family issue, we needed to leave about a day-and-a-half early. We called the office as a courtesy to let them know as we were pulling out and received a partial credit for a night’s stay on our credit card. Didn’t even ask, they just did it. Thanks Mystic KOA! 

    We’ll definitely be back. This is a great place to stay when visiting the coastal Connecticut/Rhode Island area.

    Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Sturbridge - [CLOSED}

    Pine lake , Sturbridge Ma.

    I’m told that this used to be Jellystone. 

    It’s now called Pine Lake Rv and cottages.

    Not knowing what the previous campground was like I can’t compare. But the new owners surely did a total revamp. There is approximately 30 cottages and many pull through and back in sites for any size RV.

    The bathroom/showers were all new and very nice and clean. It seems to be very family friendly. There’s an 8 acre lake with kayaks and fishing, a basketball court,   a game pavilion and a well stocked store. The RV sites are   spacious and pretty close to near perfect level.

    The problems I came across was there were very few places to dispose of camp trash, I had to actually walk around looking for one. The camp store doesn’t open until 9:00AM and closes at 4:00PM

     If you can, try and NOT stay on the back upper level ( the 700 ) spots. It’s around 100 feet from a very busy road and loud !

    Wawaloam Campground

    Family friendly, great campstore, quiet

    We stayed here from a Tuesday to Thursday with our 21ft travel trailer & our dog. We had site 50. It was private, a great size & has water/electric. We had good cover on our site & the area our site was in was super quiet. There are both seasonal and regular sites on this campground. The camp store has everything you might need. The front gate staff are friendly and helpful. There seemed to be lots of activities on the weekends & it's definitely a family friendly/kid friendly spot. Dog friendly too! Lots of other campers had their dogs w them. We used this as our home base to visit Newport, which is about 35 min from the campground.

Guide to Voluntown

The Voluntown, Connecticut area features multiple state forests including Pachaug and Natchaug, with elevations ranging between 300-600 feet above sea level. The region experiences typical New England seasons with warm summers (70-85°F) and cold winters, making May through October the prime camping season. Many RV campgrounds remain open only during these warmer months when the deciduous forests provide natural shade.

What to do

Forest hiking trails: Pachaug State Forest offers over 24,000 acres of wilderness adjacent to several RV campgrounds near Voluntown. "From our site at Gibson Hill RV Park, we could access multiple hiking paths. Lots of ticks, so just beware. Great spot overall!" notes camper Nina J.

Beach activities: The Connecticut shoreline is within 30 minutes of most Voluntown area campgrounds. "We were able to ride our bikes into town and also took advantage of the camp store and laundry facilities," says Laura L. about her stay at Sun Outdoors Mystic.

Wildlife viewing: Many campgrounds feature ponds with local waterfowl and fishing opportunities. At Aces High RV Park, one guest enjoyed the "Beautiful pond and natural setting with lots of ducks, geese, chickens, and wild birds."

What campers like

Spacious sites: The region's campgrounds typically offer generous spacing between sites. "The sites are VERY close, but the people are nice and we had a great stay. It is a quick drive to the beach, we loved Westerly & Misquamicut Beaches," reports a camper about Ashaway RV Resort in nearby Rhode Island.

Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses and amenities receive consistent praise. At Countryside RV Park, a guest shares: "We had a great time. Water, electric & sewer sites. Very quite, rules are in-forced. This is camping, if you're looking for entertainment bring your own!"

Proximity to attractions: The strategic location between casinos and coastal towns makes these campgrounds convenient base camps. "We really love the Mystic/Stonington area. Downtown has some great eateries," notes Nancy W. about the region, adding that "camping in New England can be very pricy so you just have to shell out the cash if you want to be in a popular tourist destination."

What you should know

Seasonal operation: Most RV campgrounds near Voluntown operate on limited schedules. "Our stay was in the spring before their busy season started so some things like the pool and water features were closed but the appearance was that it was well cared for," one camper observed at Sun Outdoors Mystic.

Management quality varies: Guest experiences can differ based on staff interactions. "Daniella treats us like part of her family and the staff are always so helpful," says a guest about Aces High RV Park, while others reported less positive experiences at different facilities.

Site conditions: Terrain and site preparation differ significantly between campgrounds. "Sites and roads are a pea gravel material and each site has large grassy areas around it. It was a quiet area with ponds and creeks and a generally relaxing setting," notes April L. about Aces High RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated children's areas. At Thousand Trails Sturbridge, about an hour from Voluntown, a camper noted: "We had a great time relaxing around the campfire with another family. The playground was a hit for our kids!"

Water activities: Swimming pools and water features provide entertainment during summer months. "My kids enjoyed playing tennis & swimming in the pool at the campground - there is also mini-golf, but we didn't get the chance to play," shared a visitor at Ashaway RV Resort.

Local educational opportunities: The region offers numerous historical sites for family exploration. "This park is in a great location for exploring Mystic. You are close to downtown, the aquarium, Mystic Seaport and other attractions," explains one visitor.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Some campgrounds require additional equipment for proper positioning. "Clean, well-maintained, and level site with concrete pad and patio (I love a clean, level concrete pad!). Utility hookups were in great condition and everything worked as it should," reports Matt S. about Aces High RV Park.

Propane availability: Several RV campgrounds in the Voluntown area offer propane services on site. "Propane is available at the store," confirms Tom S. after staying at Douglas Forest RV Resort, adding that the campground has "spots are well organized and no issues with hookups."

Year-round options: While most area campgrounds close for winter, a few remain open. "Many pull-thru sites, maybe 20 back ins on a pond. Nice staff, nice pool & facilities. Also, this is open year round," notes Steve K. about Aces High RV Park.
