What campers like

What you should know
Reservation requirements: Cabin availability varies significantly by season with most locations requiring advance booking.

Bathroom accessibility: At Little Red Barn Campground, facility locations can impact site selection. "I took a walk with my dog and saw the primitive sites tucked in the back of the grounds.

Cons: only one bathroom and it's very far from the primitive sites," cautions Kelsey K.

Tips from RVers

Access considerations: Colonial Woods Family Resort has limited access for certain RV sizes. "Ok so let me start off by saying. If we still had our smaller travel trailer this review would've been at least 4 stars. However this place is not the place for you if you have a fifth wheel. The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed," warns Brian C.
Hookup availability: Little Red Barn Campground offers various site types with different amenities. "Not all sites have sewer hookups, oops. Easy to back in," mentions Joe B., highlighting the importance of confirming specific hookup needs when booking.
