"Right on the farmington river and off the main road with access to many many other favorable fishing spots.
Definitely need to come back. Great rates on all sites."

"However one issue was the garbage situation. Had to walk a long distance to throw out the trash."
"We got a tent spot and it was perfect since it was the furthest one away and there was no one near us which is probably why we loved it so much bc we were so isolated. a little disappointed in the site"
"Tons of kids activities to keep the little ones busy and great hikes around! Tons of waterfalls in the area and the highest point in Connecticut."

"campground
the bathroom was clean and well equipped with toilet paper and soap
we stayed at site 70 which was very spacious and set back from the road so had more privacy, although site 71 is very close by"

"We stayed near the water. Clean private bathrooms were a plus. Clean pool but only 3 feet deep."
"Affiliated with Lake Compounce Amusement Park adjacent to campground."
"It is adjacent to an amusement park so there were lots of families here. None of the sites have sewer, but there is a dump station on the way out."

"I'm use to the rough and tough it of backpacking the AT Trail so this place had quite a few amenities I am not use to! Haha."
"It wasn't too busy when we went- we got there on a Friday night around 6pm and were able to get a spot. There are also some fun activities within the campground, and things nearby."
ScoutWe have enjoyed our stay. Nice campground with lots of activities and things to do. However, we picked this place because it has an enclosed dog park. It does have an enclosed dog park but the fence is only 3 feet high. While this might be fine for some dogs, I have 2 young border collies that will jump that fence like it is not even there.
ScoutThis place is great. It’s got so many different ducks and crannies and so many different levels up and down the hill and Valley and just a beautiful peaceful place in the woods.
ScoutThis place is awesome!! Small but really quiet and the owner is amazing!! Bath house is definitely the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Looks like it’s recently done! Wow!! The cabin I stayed in was awesome….could have stayed for a week and next year I plan to do just that!! Love this place!!
TravelerHad a great Memorial Day weekend here despite the chilly weather. Amenities include campers only beach, great trails (including accessible), nature center, staff were present and circulated often.
GuideSecond time we stayed there for overnight while traveling. Well kept. Adequate space. Friendly hosts. Terrain is uneven. Hit and miss on how flat or leave sights are.
ScoutGood tent platforms, picnic tables and outhouse. CT river within view. Good site
GuideDecent campground right on the Delaware river, definitely family oriented in the warmer months, lots of families with young children, so can be very loud. Great walking access to the river where you can launch your kayak/go tubbing or just go for a swim. Would return.
ScoutGrateful I met the “owner”. Saved me from spending my money. Not welcoming or friendly AT ALL!
ScoutVery peaceful overnight camping, no permit required. Small campsite, first come first served basis. Other posts claim you can park right the site, but you can not. It’s up the yellow or blue trail depending on which one you take. However, it’s not a long walk to the parking area from the campsite.
