Nice Location

Nice location if you like taking day trips. We explored during the day and came back to camp each night.

New England RV Trip

We used Gibson Hill as one of the stops on a longer New England RV trip. By the time we arrived, we had been driving quite a bit and really didn’t want another complicated travel day. We got the RV parked, took showers, made something easy for dinner, and stayed put for the rest of the night. The following morning we were rested and ready to explore again. For road trips like ours, having somewhere to stop for a couple of nights and reset can make a huge difference.

Decided To Camp instead

We wanted to visit Providence without actually staying in the city and decided to camp instead. We drove in for the day, had dinner there, and came back to the RV afterward. It made the trip feel like we got a city getaway and a camping weekend at the same time.

Nothing Beats Cooking

Nothing beats cooking breakfast outside on a cool Connecticut morning. Coffee tasted especially good on this trip.

Much More Relaxing

We picked this campground because we wanted to explore both Connecticut and Rhode Island without changing campsites halfway through the trip. It worked really well for that. We spent most of the day out exploring and came back in the evening to make dinner at the RV. Much more relaxing than bouncing between hotels.

Two-Night Getaway

We brought the camper for a quick two-night getaway and spent most of our time doing absolutely nothing. Cooked outside, read a little, and finally slowed down for a weekend.

Nice Campground

Nice campground for a quick stop. Our site was easy to get into, everything worked like it should, and we had a peaceful night before getting back on the road.

Night Sitting By The Fire

Came here for a quick weekend away and had a great time. We walked around, checked out the pond, and spent most of the night sitting by the fire. Nice easygoing place.

Enjoyable Campground

This was a really enjoyable campground for our family. We spent part of the day at the heated pool, walked around the property, and finished the evening playing games together at our site.

Our Kids Have Really Enjoyed

Our kids have really enjoyed spending the season here. They always seem to find something to do, whether it’s swimming, playing outside, or catching up with friends they’ve made around the campground. For us, the best part is having the camper already set up and ready whenever we have a free weekend. We’ve made a lot of good family memories here and still have plenty of summer left to enjoy.

Really Glad

Really glad we decided to spend the season here. We’ve made some great friends, enjoyed a few campground events, and spent a lot more time outside than we normally would at home.

Nice Community Feel

Having our RV here for the season has made it so much easier to enjoy our time off. We can arrive after work, open everything up, and start relaxing instead of spending half the evening setting up. The campground has a really nice community feel, but we still have enough space to enjoy quiet time at our own site. It’s become the place we look forward to returning to every week.

Fun Atmosphere

The campground had a fun atmosphere without feeling overwhelming. Everyone we spoke with was friendly, and we left wishing we had booked an extra night.

Like Our Summer Home Base

This is our first season keeping our camper here, and we’ve really enjoyed settling into the campground. Our site has plenty of trees around it, and it feels like we’re actually getting away even though we can easily come and go throughout the summer. We’ve met a lot of friendly people, enjoyed the live entertainment, and spent plenty of evenings just sitting around the fire. It has been a really comfortable place to make our summer home base.

Worst I've Been To Blatant Deceptive Advertising

Let me save you from making a grave mistake. The campground was quiet. That's the best thing I can say about Gibson Hill after spending a week there. Totally unkempt and in disarray. The roads are a rocky, dusty rutted mess. The campsites while some newly graveled, not well I might add, are not level. The electric at my site kept tripping off. I finally discovered, with no help from the non-existent management, that the service disconnect breaker was bad. Luckily I had an extra 30A cord and was able to plug into the unoccupied adjacent site. How this abomination has any 5 star reviews is above my pay grade. During the week we were here we never saw a camp representative. We were not welcomed by anyone affiliated with the campground and I never saw anyone on duty in the office. The is NO weekly entertainment. There is NO weekly bonfire. THERE IS NO POOL. Our site had no picnic table and no fire ring and had areas dotted with clumps of gray fur. Obviously noone had inspected our site for cleanliness prior to our arrival. Our first visitor was a 4' rat snake. There was debris strewn all over the grounds. There was one trash container. Unlined and uncovered. No dog poop bags or signs regarding poop pickup. There was a lot of demolition but no new construction ongoing. The“pool” is a 4’ deep square under construction and far from being completed. The“resort” signage was a joke. It took me 3 tries to find my way out of the campground. The entrance sign is installed parallel to the road rather than perpendicular to it for visibility. The number of decrepit or abandoned trailers on site was unbelievable. We were never told if the campground was under new management and/or under going refurbishment. In any event it was missing the mark. Unfortunately we paid for a week in advance so we were stuck here. NEVER AGAIN. I’m leaving this truthful review so no other potential campers are duped into staying here. Definitely an absentee owner who doesn't have a clue. Really too bad because the location and grounds have enormous potential. I will let Happy Grounds and RV LIFE know of my great disappointment and suspect reviews. By the way, to the reviewer who said they enjoyed the pool. THERE IS NO POOL. There is NO on-site management.
