Fishing, swimming, and paddling draw campers to Canoe River Campground, a privately run, forested site in camping near Mansfield Center that operates from mid-April through mid-October. The campground sits in a low-lying area along the river, which reviewers note can cause smoke from campfires to pool across the sites on calm evenings. Worth knowing if you have respiratory sensitivities.
The campground runs busy, especially on summer weekends, with a pool, playground, arcade, and snack bar drawing families. Sites are close together, and several reviewers mention reduced privacy due to smaller plot sizes in recent years. Showers require quarters for hot water. The pool bathrooms have drawn complaints about cleanliness, while the facilities near the tent sites are generally reported as well-maintained. One consistent note from multiple visitors: the firewood sold on-site can be wet and difficult to burn.
Full hookups are available for RVs up to 65 feet, with electric, water, and sewer connections plus a dump station and WiFi. Rates run $42 to $58 per night. The campground also sells propane. Campers who have attended shows at the nearby Xfinity Center have used this site as a convenient overnight stop, given its location in the area. Normandy Farms Campground is another option roughly five miles west for those wanting a different setup.
"Sites are small and the seasonals should have rules about keeping them clean," notes Pamela J S. Canoe River tends to work best for families with kids who want structured activities and amenities close at hand, and for RV campers who prioritize full hookups over spacious or private sites.
