Activity runs on a near-continuous schedule at Strawberry Park, a privately operated campground in Preston, Connecticut, where the programming calendar can feel as dense as the forested sites surrounding the rec center. Six pools, including an adults-only pool and an outdoor in-ground hot tub, give families options when the weather cooperates. When it doesn't, the arcade, ceramic painting, karaoke, and bingo fill the gaps. Seasonal campers make up a large share of the crowd, so weekend visitors should expect a well-established community feel rather than a quiet woods experience.
Sites range from open to shaded, and several reviewers note the treed lots in particular. Erich P. describes his trailer site as "big enough and nicely treed," and Michael C. notes "two easy dump stations with nice clean area." Full hookups accommodate RVs up to 60 feet, with electric, water, and sewer connections available. Sites vary in size, and at least one reviewer found their assigned spot on the smaller side, so it's worth requesting specifics when booking. Cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews as a reliable positive.
The activity roster includes disc golf, pickleball, volleyball, a softball field, basketball courts, and a splash pad. Golf cart rentals let families move around the property without walking the full road network, which also draws cyclists and dog walkers. A live band plays Saturday nights during the season. The camp store and snack shop cover most basic supply needs on site.
Nightly rates run $60 to $120, and the campground operates from May 1 through October 23. Reservations are available and advisable, particularly for weekends. One persistent concern in reviews involves booking through third-party platforms, and campers report better results going directly through the campground. Nearby alternatives include Amos Lake Beach and Camping Area and Hidden Acres Campground for those exploring campgrounds near Griswold with different setups.
Families who want structured programming and amenities in one place will find the activity density here hard to match.
