Nickerson Park Family Campground

We visited for a our kids' spring break. Not many campgrounds open that early here in CT. The staff were super pleasant and helpful, and were all working hard the entire time we were there to prep that campground for their official "opening weekend". 

The sites were all clean and seemed well spaced. The kids loved the playground, and they were putting a fresh coat of paint on things while we were there. The river that flows the length of the campground seemed clean and awesome. Staffers and other campers said kids tube down it when it's warmer, then just hop out and walk back through the camp to start over again. 

Walmart & Aldi's is 10-15 minutes away. Pizza places/breakfast spots in the same area as well. Lots of state land to explore nearby.

It is off the beaten path probably quiet. They rent sites, daily, monthly and annually for anything from tents to RVs. I did read their pre registration info so I made my reservation for 3 nights out morning of the 14th. The first thing you notice coming down the road to the office are 5 maybe 6 well used travel trailers lined up in a field on the right side of the road, for sale. I went in to register, the lady told me “you can’t park that here” referring to my camper which I hand crafted myself paid and had it RVIA inspected and passed inspector said I went above and beyond. The campground manager owner was called in and he says I can’t stay because it’s a tiny house,, no, it is a travel trailer I have the registration. He, I don’t care it’s a tiny house, people sell their houses move into tiny homes and fake their address so their kids can go to a different school and it bankrupts municipalities. My wife and I are in our sixties, are retired and have put our grown kids through school, and worked hard to get where we can travel alot and love it.
I have had nothing but rave reviews even campground owner’s praises on the high quality build of my camper. We have been well received at every visited campground from New York to Georgia.
To Dyrt, I hope you want honest reviews. Offended

Nice spots on the Natchaug River in Chaplin, CT

The hosts were very accommodating. We got a nice spot backing up to the river. Very secluded, clean sites. There was not sewer drains, but it’s ok, they have a nice dump station on your way out. The camp store has some fishing gear and tubes, so the kids could float down the river.
