ScoutHaving 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.
ScoutThe campground had a fun atmosphere without feeling overwhelming. Everyone we spoke with was friendly, and we left wishing we had booked an extra night.
ScoutThis 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.
ScoutDo not go here! Worst customer service i have ever experienced. I booked online through expedia. Paid in full for a cabin. They took my money no problem. Then emailed me the cabin was not available and to contact them, off site, to get a different camp site. One i didn't want or even ask for. It all sounded sketchy to me so I told them to just refund the money to me and I'll go somewhere else. The person emailing me instead of refunding the money told me to contact the office to get a new site. I responded with I would just like a refund please. They ghosted me. So I call the site to get my money, which is not a small amount remind you close to$500, and the first person I talk to hangs up on me before I can say anything. The second person starts blaming me for booking through expedia and not them. Because there inability to use third party websites is my fault? After all that the apparently only person able to give refunds conveniently isn't there but would call me back. Was told I would definitely get my money back... suprise they never called. Luckily expedia has protection and I can get my money back through them. Save yourself a headache and stay away! If the whole place is run by the people booking I would fear for my children going there
TravelerWe arrived on a Saturday afternoon and they did seem have alot going on. It was Christmas in July. There was a live band and a few food trucks. The campsites are onto of each. Way too close for us. The roads that lead to the sites are way to narrow. I tow a 27ft travel trailer and my tires were off the road on both sides. The campsite itself was nice. No complaints there. Pool was gross. Mini golf was horrible. All the wood was rotted. We won't be back.
TravelerMy kids had a blast. Many activities and plenty to do. Only down side was there being not service, which stinks when you use the app to follow along with activities and updates.
GuideWe stayed at site 81, it was near the entrance and right on the pond! The sites were spacious, so it was easy to maneuver our 21 ft travel trailer. The camp bathrooms were across from our site, they weren’t terrible but could use a bit of cleaning!
ScoutIt was a hot one! The pool was crowded but that’s to be expected when it was 96 for three days. Clean, fun, and friendly. My son said it was the best campground so far.
TravelerWe had a great time during our stay on Labor Day Weekend. Even on the busier side, it was still quiet and our site was fairly private. Right on a stream and a short walk to the bathrooms and hiking trails. We drove a few minutes up the road to Lake Dennison to kayak and fish.

Explore dog-friendly areas: Pine Acres Family Camping Resort in Oakham allows pets and offers dedicated dog recreation areas. "We love taking the dog to the dog beach for a swim. Camp store is great, fun fishing on the lake and tons of activities for the kids," notes a visitor.
Visit historical attractions: Many campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring New England's historical sites. "Concord is only 30 minute drive away with two full days of revolutionary historic sites, and famous people home tours such as Louisa May Alcott," explains a camper at Spacious Skies Minute Man.
Try mountain biking and hiking: The region offers extensive trail networks suitable for various skill levels. "Miles and miles of country/forests surrounding pine acres, however pulling in you'll soon realize how much goes on inside the campground. AWESOME pools (very kid friendly), parks, dog park, hiking trails and even sections off of the trails to find your own private beach on the water," reports a Pine Acres Family Camping Resort visitor.
Primitive camping options: For those seeking more secluded experiences, several campgrounds offer walk-in sites. "We stayed in T5 and it was the best of the bunch because it had the most privacy and space, including a grassy area. The other tent-only sites were fairly small," notes a camper at George Washington State Campground.
Modern bathhouse facilities: Recent upgrades at several campgrounds have improved shower and restroom quality. "Wells State Park camp grounds recently got new bathrooms and they are so clean! The campsites are a nice size to drive your car up to and still have ample tent/picnic table/fire space," reports a visitor.
Variety of water recreation: Multiple campgrounds feature swimming areas, fishing ponds, and boat rentals. "Brand new bathroom/shower facility this year. Offers hiking, biking, swimming, fishing. Nice and quiet also," shares a camper at Wells State Park Campground.
Site selection considerations: Campground layouts vary significantly, with some sites requiring more leveling than others. "Site #39 online, based on proximity to bath house (at least, it looked that way on the map). No pictures of individual campsites on the booking site, so we were kind of winging it... the site was very un-level, with a steep, narrow driveway," cautions a camper.
Noise factors: Road noise and other ambient sounds can impact camping experience. "I knocked a star because I think the swimming area could be bigger and raked," mentioned one George Washington State Campground visitor. Others note: "The site was very spacious, close to the bath house, and had a really nice view of Walker Pond through the surrounding trees."
Internet connectivity: Cell service and Wi-Fi availability vary considerably. "The WiFi was better than most places we have camped at," reports a camper at Circle Campground Farm Campground, while another notes: "Without our antenna we we only had 1 bar of both Verizon and AT&T. No signal at all on T-Mobile/Sprint. With our antenna we got two bars of Verizon and AT&T but it wasn't enough to not drop a few calls."
Choose campgrounds with dedicated activities: Many locations offer organized recreation specifically for children. "Although the tent sites are a distance from anything, the main areas of the campground are fantastic. With a full calendar of events (some free, some cost $) you will never be bored. Quiet time is quiet time which is great for families," notes a visitor at Pine Acres.
Look for swimming options: During summer months, pools and beach areas provide essential recreation. "Clean and updated. Beautiful and fun. Live music and food trucks were available. Pool and splash pad along with sandy beach," reports a family at Pine Acres Family Camping Resort.
Consider proximity to attractions: Several campgrounds provide convenient access to museums and educational sites. "We did Boston (caught the train), Salem, mystic seaport, Sturbridge village, plymouth rock, the Mayflower ship, and plymouth plantation spending no more than 1hr and 20 min at the most in the car!!!" shares a family staying at Circle Campground Farm.
Check site dimensions carefully: Some campgrounds have limited space for larger rigs. "The campground is tucked away just outside Sturbridge on the road to Spencer (rt-49). There are no hook-ups here, but the sites are large, well spaced, and shaded," notes an RV camper at Wells State Park.
Ask about entrance restrictions: Access roads can present challenges for larger vehicles. "The sites are a decent size and consist mainly of gravel and grass. Not all sites have a fire pit so be sure to book one if you want a fire pit," advises an RV owner at Circle Campground Farm Campground.
Verify hookup availability: Full-service sites can be limited at some locations. "We chose a paved full hook-up pull thru with paved patio (Site E1). Our site was easy to navigate in and out of and was definitely big rig-friendly with ample space for our motorhome and tow car. All utilities were well-placed and functioned properly," reports a visitor at Normandy Farms Campground.
