What to do
Disc golf access: West Thompson Lake Campground offers an on-property disc golf course ideal for casual players. "We were able to see some boat races and played a round of disc golf on property. Once the boat races finished each day the camp was very quiet and peaceful," notes Jason L. at West Thompson Lake Campground.
Hiking opportunities: Multiple trail networks surround camping areas near Sheldonville. George Washington State Campground features varied terrain suitable for all skill levels. "There is a nice beach for children. The water was warm and clean. You can kayak or canoe. The dogs cannot go on the beach, but they can go in the boats," explains Jessica W.
Water activities: Fishing and paddling are available at several locations. Sutton Falls Camping Area provides waterfront sites along Aldrich Mill Pond. "We were delighted when we learned we had the little peninsula of site P1 all to ourselves. Stunning views across the large pond, and serving as a wonderful halfway rest/respite on the journey from NYC to Belfast, ME," shares Stephanie M. at Sutton Falls Camping Area.
What campers like
Rustic cabin simplicity: Ponkapoag Camp offers basic cabins without modern utilities for a true wilderness experience. "We have always loved it here. It is rustic camping, no water or electricity and the bathroom is an outhouse and no showers. The kids can hang out in the clubhouse if it's raining or swim in the pond if it's hot. Lots of hiking trails," reports Stacy at Ponkapoag Camp.
Clean facilities: Despite rustic settings, many campgrounds maintain quality restrooms. "Large campsites, Nice basketball court, Decent bathrooms for a state campground, only complain is that they close the gate to enter at 9pm," explains Cameron F. about West Thompson Lake Campground.
Waterfront views: Lakeside cabins provide scenic settings at various locations. "The campground was well kept. The grounds were relatively quiet even on a Saturday night when my Dad and I stayed," notes Shelby A. at Holiday Acres Campground.
What you should know
Variable electrical reliability: Check power connections carefully when booking cabin sites. "Be very careful when you hook into their power, make sure you have a surge protector!!! We learned the hard way after staying Memorial day weekend," warns Bruce Y. about Holiday Acres Campground.
Firewood considerations: Quality and dryness of firewood varies by location. "They need to keep their firewood covered. The wood is wet and hard to burn. Sites are small and the seasonals should have rules about keeping them clean," advises Pamela J S.
Bathroom conditions: Facility quality differs substantially between campgrounds and between different bathroom buildings at the same property. "The pool bathrooms were gross, but the other facilities area near the tent sites was very nice and clean," reports Aliyyah A. about Canoe River Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Activity variety: Family-oriented campgrounds offer structured programming. "We were here a few nights when they celebrated Halloween 🎃. It is super easy to get around. They had tons of festive activities. They have an indoor and an outdoor pool. The restrooms are clean," shares Liz W. about Normandy Farms Campground.
Cabin selection strategy: Choose sites based on proximity to facilities and noise considerations. "I went to this campground every summer as a kid 25 years ago with my family. This was my first summer back and I was so happy to return! Now bringing my children, my 6 year old says it's his favorite campground. Lots of things for the kids... it seems like the sites were cut in half drastically reducing privacy," cautions Lynn F.
Swimming access: Water quality and swimming options vary significantly between properties. "The swimming area has a 'icky bottom' (kid term :))" notes Michael K. about Holiday Acres Campground.
Tips from RVers
Site spacing concerns: RV sites at many campgrounds are positioned closely together. "This campground is fairly basic and on the older side with the playground and pool. We still had a great time. The bathroom/showers were clean as was the rest of the campground. They have a little store but sells all the basics," mentions Kate C.
Entrance logistics: Navigate check-in procedures carefully when arriving with large vehicles. "The entrance/office setup is confusing. If you come in from the West you'll see an entrance, if you pull in you'll then be able to see signs that tell you to go another 1/4 mile to the office to check in. This area doesn't have enough room to make a u-turn unless your rig is pretty small," advises Michael K.
Seasonal pricing variation: Budget accordingly for varying rates throughout the year. "We just spent an awesome Memorial Day Weekend!! Very nice campground, clean, quiet, staff was great! We loved it soo much, we booked a seasonal spot! Can't wait to spend the summer," recommends Paul at Stateline Campresort & Cabins.
