ScoutWe went for the Halloween event, and the kids had a great day and evening! They really enjoyed trick or treating!!!
TravelerThis was only my second camping trip ever (and first tent camping) so grain of salt here - We had a great time at Tolland. The site was spacious and equipped with a bear box, fire ring, and picnic table. The ground at the site was large gravel which was not great in the tent, but walking around it looks like most sites are more dirt and pine needles.
The swimming area is small but sandy, great for kids, and my daughter loved thethe campfire and nature talk given on Saturday night by park staff.
GuideLoved this place great showers clean bathrooms great environment
ScoutNice facility, friendly staff. They pack us in pretty tight in some sites.
TravelerThe owner of this campground really cares about her job and making sure each and every camper has a great experience. I have a very large tent but was able to fit it on my site. The site was slightly slanted but that did help with drainage when we had torrential downpours the last 24 hours we were there. There seems to be a lot of seasonal campers but they were so friendly. The bathhouse was incredibly clean. Showers were great. The pool was cold, but really nice and again very clean. I loved that they deliver firewood to your site when you purchase from them. And again, I can’t say enough about the owner. She welcomed me with open arms when I arrived and I can tell she takes a lot of pride in her job and in her campground. I do hope to return again.
GuideI have been camping at Aqua Vista for 2 seasons and have been having a great time.Each year gets better and better.They have hayrides, many activities, themed weekends. Activities going on all the time.Great place for family and kids.
TravelerJuly 2025. We stayed in site #36. It had plenty of room for our 4 person tent, kitchen tent and car. The ground was all gravel to took some time to remove the bigger ones from under the tent. The sites were close to each other but enough vegetation around to have a little privacy. The bath house was great. Four private shower rooms (2 for men, 2 for women). They also had outdoor showers and a dish washing station. There was also an information area. Staff cleaned daily. There were many hiking trails. The loop took us to the top where there was a beautiful view. We will be coming back.
