1 campground with availability next weekend
Frog Hollow Horse Camp at Pachaug State Forest offers primitive equestrian camping approximately 60 miles from Sutton, Massachusetts. The campground accommodates both tent and RV camping with sites that welcome horses and their owners. Drinking water, picnic tables, and toilets are available on the grounds. Sites include fire rings for campfires, and campers are permitted to bring their pets. The campground maintains a rustic, natural setting with basic amenities focused on the needs of horse owners. Sites do not feature dedicated horse corrals, so equestrians must bring their own portable corrals or highlines for securing horses overnight. The sites are designed with sufficient space for horse trailers alongside camping equipment.
LeGrand Reynolds Horsemen's Camping Area in Rhode Island's Arcadia Management Area provides another option within driving distance of Sutton. This tent-focused campground offers electric hookups, including both 30-amp and 50-amp service for those bringing small trailers with living quarters. Water hookups and sewer connections are available, though the campground lacks shower facilities and permanent toilets. The camping area connects directly to the extensive trail network within Arcadia Management Area, providing riders with immediate access to miles of bridle paths through varied terrain. Campsite reservations are recommended, especially during peak riding seasons when the limited number of equestrian sites may fill quickly. Horse owners should bring water buckets, feed storage containers, and manure management equipment as the campground provides minimal horse-specific infrastructure.

ScoutAmazing amenities and activities here. Staff is great. Lots of room for big rigs. Tent spots are shady while other ones are sunnier. They have rentals such as log cabins/ A-frames to rent also. Hot tubs and pools too!
GuideI can understand why this place is rated one of the best campgrounds in the country. This was my first time camping here with my own RV and it did not disappoint. Our site was spacious, and centrally located within the campground, they have all the amenities you can imagine living up to that “resort” title. Ranging from multiple pools, hot tubs, courts, pavilions, playgrounds, etc. the cell service was great, they offer WiFi, and much more. I love the store, it gives off that Great Wolf Lodge feel, and it has everything inside you may need. Including a little hidden café that surprisingly made good lattes. This place is massive, and I’ve never seen a campground that had as many million dollar RV’s in one place. That atmosphere is just great here. There is so much to do. It’s so big you need an e-bike just to get around. Resort-style campgrounds like this come at a steeper price compared to others, but in my opinion, Normandy was well worth the cost. We look forward to revisiting, often!
TravelerWe came in the day after Labor Day ~ after 280 rv’s checked out ~ so it may not have been as peaceful over the weekend, but I heard everyone had lots of fun. The grounds are beautiful!
GuideWe 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.
ScoutKnow what you are getting... This is a family resort that charges$20/per night, per person, OVER the two people rate. It is loud, crowded, with golf carts and kids running around. It is a resort campground with pools, frisbee court and etc... This is not a quiet, restful place to stay to visit Boston and the surrounding area or to visit family in town. Entry is gated and controlled. Want to bring your college daughter back after dinner- forget it,$20 for her and$20 her friend, for 1-2 hour visit after 7:00 PM at night! When we return, we will stay at Spacious Skies CG or the state park. The cost and inconvenience is not worth it!
LegendWe were here a couple years ago and told everyone we knew about it in the PNW never knowing if our big road trips would have us near Foxboro again. Imagine our surprise and delight when our quest to hit all the MLB parks showed Normandy as proximal to Fenway. Yahoo! Red Sox win and we get to be here again. Kids and adults alike love it. What’s not to love. It’s the kind of place summer camping trip memories are made of. 4 pools, fishing pond, lodge, trivia night, soccer, baseball, softball and frisbee golf and so much more. Full hook ups. Super long sites.
TravelerHad an amazing stay, cabin was perfect and comfortable. Water was nice and fish were biting. Can’t wait to come back.
TravelerWe enjoyed our tent site with a wooden lean-to. Overall very private and peaceful, however the only drawback is that people took frequent casual walks pass the area all day long. There's really no way around that.
We did not get a chance to enjoy the amenities, but they all looked nice and well thought out.
We will return.
ScoutAbsolutely beautiful. When we drove in we fell in love with the grounds!! We were in site B9. We have a 25” B+ and basically had to park sideways and use a lot of leveling blocks to get our rig level. As we walked around we spoke to others who had similar problems with the sites not being level. We recommend this campground but just be prepared and bring plenty of leveling blocks! The office did provide us with additional blocks to level so they were very accommodating.
