  Mystic KOA

  Clean and comfy

  Clean, comfortable campground aimed more towards glamping. Lots of rv sites and very nice cabins. Cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen at a campground.

  Normandy Farms Campground

  Nice but not my style

  This is glamping campground. It has a pool, game rooms, and everyone is packed in pretty close.

  I personally like state parks, lots of room and trees. I didn't feel that at Normandy farms but you might love it

  Burlingame State Park Campground

  Huge campground, not many level sites.

  I've never camped in Rhode Island, so I was curious to see what a state park campground had to offer. Rates are reasonable for state residents, but quite high if you are out-of-state, given the amenities. There are no hookups, but dump stations are available. Bathrooms have flush toilets and coin-operated showers. There's a small beach at the pond, a boat ramp, and proximity to wildlife refuges and the ocean. It's a HUGE campground, with 700 sites and 20 cabins. Canoes are available to rent.

  There's a nice playground, a camp store, and a naturalists cabin. Trails are available for hiking and biking. The beach is sandy and there's a small parking lot there, but I suspect most people walk to it. No alcohol allowed. 

  I didn't see more than a handful of level sites, with varying degrees of slope, but many are quite large. If you have an RV, plan to level; if you have a tent, be sure to bring good mattresses to protect you from the roots and rocks and orient your head to the uphill side. Most of the sites have some degree of visual separation from their neighbors, but there are places where it's hard to tell where one site ends and the next one starts. Site have fire rings and picnic tables, but if you plan to cook over the fire, bring your own grate or plan to use sticks and/or aluminum foil. 

  If you don't have a tent, consider reserving one of their rustic cabins. These offer two sets of bunks (no mattresses) and a small porch with a picnic table and fire ring outside. Some are located along the pond.

  3-4 bar cell phone coverage. No road traffic. East Beach is nearby, but parking fills early.

  Glamp Frogmore

  Glamping at it's Best

  Glamp Frogmore offers the privacy of camping while offering extras to make a truly unique getaway. The large tent has a couch, an extremely comfortable bed (bamboo linens, pillows, and comforter included), battery powered lanterns, a battery powered fan, and games. The private campsite has a site for an additional pop-up tent (which they will include for a fee), a fire pit (firewood included), a Coleman stove, all cooking utensils, pots and pans, and an outhouse. Take one of the trails and visit the small pond with Adirondack chairs and a horseshoe pit. The site also abuts miles of Audubon trails. Optional extras include dinner in a cast iron pot delivered in the evening, coffee and breakfast delivered in the morning, a pop-up tent, a dog bed, a cooler stocked with ice and a sampling of local beer, or seltzers, or lemonade, s'mores fixings, and homemade chocolate chip cookies upon arrival.

  Wilderness Lake Park

  How did I not know about this place?

  Connecticut is LACKING when it comes to outdoor activities when compared to some of the places around the country. That being said, it's more rewarding when you find a little gem like Wilderness Lake Campground.

  While this is about 60% RVs, the tent sites are great. The host gave us a secluded spot in the back to the point I didn't feel like I was at a campground other than the fire ring. We didn't need bathrooms, water or electricity, but there was a bathroom within walking distance. It also looked like they were building a little outbuilding for Women and Men's bathrooms near the tent sites. 

  The lake was quiet and we saw kids swimming in it in the morning. There was a hiking trail on the property and the host mentioned they were building a Disc Golf course on the property. Whether you have an RV, want to Car Glamp or looking to feel deep in the woods, this place checks all the boxes. It's also conveniently located off I-84(exit 70).

  Normandy Farms Campground

  Glamping to the max

  I wasn’t sure I would like this level of glamping, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was positive and helpful and that made a difference for me. I traditionally dry camp or go for semi hooked up on purpose, I just like the quieter camping. Maybe it’s covid, but it felt good to be “near” other people trying to find peace in a crazy world. So much positive about the resort, the snack bar has an awesome menu and cost is reasonable. Beer at the store wasn’t unreasonable priced. The clothing/swag was fairly priced. The facility is big enough to walk, bike, short run, the frisbee golf is the best set up I’ve ever used. I went recently(mid October) so the pools were shut down, but there was still lots of activities. The bath houses were very clean and there was music playing, another detail that sets this resort apart. The grounds, for a packed campground were actually well done with trees, and large stones around. You will hear other people at nearby sites, it didn’t bother me, in fact listening to all the various dogs barking at each other from their respective sites made me laugh. You can hear cars from 495, but once again, somehow it did not bother me. I’ve stayed at campgrounds up in NH that are dry camping, and I can hear cars on Rt 16 or on the Kanc. There is a catch, sites probably average $100/night or more, when all the amenities are up and running, it is well wort it. Shoot, I’ve stayed in hotels for $150/night with no amenities. This place has so much to do, or just sit by the campfire and drink beer and relax, or borrow a movie for free. Remember to return it or they will process the $20.00 hold. I’m definitely going back, kids had fun, I had fun. Pay ahead and get your gate codes, and you can drive right to your site, that was super convenient, see the positives keep showing up. Thanks for reading

  Mystic KOA

  Great campground for coastal CT & RI

  We stayed at Mystic KOA in North Stonington, Connecticut, to be tourists in Mystic. Spoiler alert… we had a great stay! 

  This campground is just 15-minutes from Mystic and about an hour’s drive to Newport, Rhode Island. It’s just a few minutes from I-95 and so close to Mystic Aquarium, downtown Mystic, Mystic Seaport, and all the local spots. 

  It’s a well-maintained campground with 2 pools(though the larger one was closed for maintenance during our stay), lots of play areas and daily activities for little ones, and a cool“pub truck” for adult drinks. Our site(#408) was about 85’ long with plenty of room for our 45’ motorhome and toad(and then some!). It was level and gravel with a nice fire ring and picnic table. The hookups worked fine with 50-amp electric and decent water pressure. Cable TV had nearly 50-channels, but the wi-fi didn’t quite reach our part of the park. 

  Due to a family issue, we needed to leave about a day-and-a-half early. We called the office as a courtesy to let them know as we were pulling out and received a partial credit for a night’s stay on our credit card. Didn’t even ask, they just did it. Thanks Mystic KOA! 

  We’ll definitely be back. This is a great place to stay when visiting the coastal Connecticut/Rhode Island area.

  Burlingame State Park Campground

  Once a gem, but steadily declining.

  Burlingame state park campground is 3100 acres and many of the 739 reservable campsites are well spaced out and you could obtain great privacy if you know which site to pick. The condition of the park has steadily declined since about 2016. Plans are in the work to update all bathroom facilities, but it keeps getting pushed back year after year. Burlingame State Park campground is the only state park managed by an outside corporation who assumes the day to day responsibilities for campsites, dumpsters and bathrooms. Ongoing issues, especially on holiday weekends have been noted by hundreds of campers.  The new pre-registration offered through Reserve America has been a great improvement. It allows to avoid the long lines at the check-in station and drive straight up to the gate. Lack of staff on the management level, and Rhode Island state park department level definitely shows. Rhode Island DEM is allowing this wonderful campground to deteriorate. Flooding issues during even minor rainfall is apparent in a large portion of sites, so beware which campsite you reserve. Camper created group called Bound4burlingame has filmed every campsite and put them on YouTube and has created a private group on FB where the camping community of Burlingame contributes daily to an extremely popular public forum. Best place to gain info and insight. Get campsite recommendations straight from the people who actually camp there.

  George Washington State Campground

  Updated information! Good site.

  Okay, I will try to update this information on the Dyrt site, but I’ve had mixed success getting that to stick. So if you are confused about things like location, let’s knock that out first:

  This campground is located near 2185 Putnam Pike, Chepachet, RI 02814. It’s by Bowdish Lake, near the Connecticut border. This is a cool area of Rhode Island that I enjoyed getting the chance to explore a little bit. Great Italian restaurant if you don’t feel like cooking (Mr Z’s By The Lake) and some historical sites like a very nice covered bridge to the northwest.

  Full water and electrical hookup and a very unique and fun play area for kids. The lake access is excellent, obviously. Pay showers of varying degrees of cleanliness. Open to tents, but clearly preferred by the RV crowd.

  George Washington State Campground

  An OK Campground but not Great

  Camped out here for two nights after reading about this place in the"Best Tent Camping: New England" book. It's better than the other campgrounds in Rhode Island that I looked at (Burlingame, Fort Getty) but isn't my favorite campground. If you're not a Rhode Island resident the fee for most sites is$36/night. Is it worth it? Eh, probably not unless you're really jonesing to camp for a weekend in the Ocean State. 

  It does have some great things going for it, namely the hiking trails and views of the lake. There are some tent-only sites which are numbered T1-T5. I 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 and if you go to any mixed use sites you run the risk of having an RV next to you. The A1-A7 sites are remote and hike in, but you're going to have to hike either 0.4 or 0.6 miles through some uneven terrain. The next best group of sites would be 19-24 which are on their own small loop near the lake. 

  The things I didn't like were the streetlights over the port-a-potties that shine all night. There is a manned gate where you check in and you have to get let into the campground during the day, but at night the gates are wide open and it seems like some people know this because there are a few oddballs around in the early morning. There is swimming at the lake but it looked way too dirty. 

  Overall the place was managed very well, the sites were cleanish and the grounds were taken care of. The employees drove by at least once an hour, I thought they were collecting trash from dumpsters but the only place with a dumpster is near the entrance. I couldn't figure out why they kept driving by so often. I had a good time, it was relaxing and scratched the camping itch.

  Rocky Neck State Park Campground

  Large campground close to beach

  On our way to through Connecticut, we needed to stop for a night. This was on Long Island Sound and had walk-up sites available. $33 per night gets you a site with bath house/restroom close by but no hook-ups. There is a public "beach" nearby which is way different than our Florida ones. We had to walk under the railroad tracks through a tunnel to get there. Interesting but still a nice feature and probably the main attraction here. There was also a concession stand, nature center, picnic area and boat ramp here at this park. Since we were getting a walk-up site they let us drive around and pick our site from a list of available ones. Most of them were on the small side accommodating tents or pop-ups. We found one in the Osprey loop which was very shaded. The bath rooms were clean and up to date. Good for a night on our way to Rhode Island.

  Great time

  Stayed on an rv site for 1 week this past summer. Had a great time, kids had a blast with the boat rentals and fishing.
  Saw they have 2 yurts for rent as well.

  Staff was incredibly freindly and gave us restaurant recommendations around the area.
  About 5 min from great hiking at purgatory chasm.

  Normandy Farms Campground

  Huge park with lots of amenities and activities

  We planned a brief stop in the Boston area with the intent of seeing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and Normandy Farms appealed to us for various reasons. One reason was the fact that they have dog walkers that will come to your site and take care of your precious pooch while you are away. Not knowing how long we would be away from the campground that service was a great option. As it turned out, we did not need to use this service but for some it would be a great perk if you were going to be gone all day. And with Boston traffic, we can see how that could happen. By the way, the library is well-worth it.

  When you enter Normandy Farms it is more like checking into a hotel than campground complete with a concierge and express check-in. The park is gated and a code is needed to enter and leave giving you a sense of security but I’m not sure it is necessary. Driving in you quickly realize how huge this park is with some 400 RV sites, tent sites, yurts, lean-to’s, safari tents, and cabins. 

  There are plenty of sites to choose from the “premium” full hook-up (50 amp) to basic with just water and electric and many others in between. Both back-in and pull thrus are available as are sites with shade and full sun. Premium sites have paved patios while other sites are gravel. Roads are paved and plenty wide enough for big RV’s to navigate. They offer cable television that yielded nearly 100 channels. Wifi worked well at our site and other places throughout the park. All sites come with a fire pit and picnic table. 

  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. The site was level. At the time we were there in October the campground was not very busy but we imagine that things get a little crazy when the park is full. 

  There is a really long list of amenities for this campground….four pools (include an indoor heated one), fitness room (with elliptical, treadmills, bikes, machine and free weights), creative arts center, camp store, 20,000 square-foot activities building (with adult only lounge, pool table, arcade, games, wide-screen televisions, sauna, Jacuzzi), restaurant, huge off-leash dog park (you can reserve individual day kennels), BMX bike park, horse shoe pits, baseball diamond, volleyball, fishing pond, shuffleboard, disk golf, and playground, and probably a few more things I missed. During the busy summer months there is a long list of activities ranging from yoga to kids games.

  Normandy Farms is approximately 35 miles from Boston. If you don’t want to drive to the city, you can park at the nearby train or subway station and ride into the city. You are just five miles from Gillette Stadium (home of the New England Patriots) and Patriot Place (a hub for shopping and dining). About a mile from the campground is Foxboro State Park where you will find 20+ miles of hiking trails. Also within a five mile radius are plenty of restaurants, shopping, hardware store, grocery store, and more. 

  Some of the really good features are the huge dog park which has a dog washing station, water fountains for dogs and humans, agility-type obstacles for them to play on, dog kennels, and a bin with balls and Frisbees. I also liked (and used daily) the fitness center which had functioning equipment and a large television to help pass the time while working out – and was never crowded. The large community building has and adult-only lounge which serves as a nice place for people to get together and watch television or hang out without kids. With everything this campground has to offer you can see why it is a destination park for some people as their kids would be busy all day. 

  The downside really is the price and how many sites there are. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway this is not it.

  Boston/Cape Cod KOA

  Fun for Kids

  We stayed here over the 4th of July this summer. Overall we had a nice time and our 3 kids really enjoyed it.

  The pool was green the first day we were there, but the filters were quickly fixed and it was back to normal. It was not a great first impression for us. There were unaccompanied children in the pool who were extremely rude, swearing, jumping on people. I actually got my kids out of the pool and left. The pool is very small and when it is crowded it is more for wading than swimming.

  Quiet hours were not enforced and people with very loud music were walking up and down the road past sites well past quiet hours.

  There were long lines for showers every night and the showers were very outdated and not clean at all.

  The activities for kids is the draw for this campground for sure. My kids loved the train rides, movie night, flash light candy hunt, and arts and crafts.

  The staff was friendly and helpful.

  Overall we made the best of it all and left with good family memories.

  Hide-A-Way Cove Campground

  Needs updating

  Where we stayed was nice and we had great people need us. The only downside about where we stayed is there were apples all over that fall off trees… so don’t walk around barefoot.

  The rest of the place is a dump. All the buildings were way past due on updates needed. The pool and playground were ok but the bathrooms are gross and the arcade was so disgusting I wouldn’t let my kids play with anything. A lot of the sites had old shacks that were falling apart but they seemed to fit in with everything else.

  Most of the staff seemed very nice.

  If you want water views this is the place.

  I have been camping here for 20 years off and on. The staff is always friendly and will accommodate you with whatever you need. Don't like your site? Call the office and they will find you one you do like if it's available. The campground is set on the Q River and if you're lucky enough to see it from your site it's beautiful. The campground CAN get packed but everyone is polite and we've never had a problem. 

  I will be returning every year I'm able.

  Ross Hill RV Park & Campground

  Terrible

  Campground is crowded and filled with older crowd that seem like they live here. Had almost nothing to keep kids entertained other than swim in a frog pond that was about 3-4 feet deep. Our “fire pit” was an 18 inch truck rim. Lots of woods but all around the campground but basically a camper city. Looked for a site that was off the beaten path, ended up directly in between the main road and a walking path. Constant traffic with people that wouldn’t make even make eye contact never mind waving or saying hello. Miserable weekend, totally not worth the $100. Unfortunate because the staff was extremely friendly and helpful

  Horrible management! Owner is disrespectful and rude, will not be back!

  Worst place to camp!!! My husband has been going to this camp ground for 30 something years since he was a little boy and when the father ran it, it was awesome!! Had a PA system, had activities.. now that the son Greg runs it.. it’s gone down hill and continues to go!! The bathrooms are disgusting, he picks and chooses who he wants to yell at and kick out.. he has this little boy with long hair on a power trip who’s“employee of the month” driving around a dirty, loud duck taped John Deere tractor taking pictures of people. My husband called the park twice to ask about a inflatable water slide and if was ok for us to bring it, the girl who answered the phone said“let me call you back I’ll check with the owner” called us back and say yes.. then my husband called back again to switch sites due to the girl saying yes.. told them AGAIN about the water slide, she said yes that’s fine.. she even moved us to the field, asked us if they were paying us to bring it.. we said no and she said oh wow ok.. maybe I should go camping this weekend and started to laugh and moved us to a site with no one next to us and even made a comment, ya know I don’t think I like this lady.. I’ll just move them to site 48 and you to 47..long story short, we put up the slide when we got there, the little boy on his little power trip was hiding behind the bathrooms taking pictures of the slide with our children and nieces and nephews on it and my husband asked if there was an issue and he looked at my husband said“im shutting you down!!” And he said you are? And he replied saying that Greg told him to shut us down… my husband asked for Greg to come down and talk to him, himself and when Greg got there.. he was extremely rude, got extremely loud like he was trying to“embarrass someone” however my husband and I knew that we spoke with a young lady several times prior to us coming and she verified it was ok for us to bring it..so no one embarrassed us.. he embarrassed himself. Greg continued to argue with us saying“no no your wrong, shut it down, I don’t care” when all he had to say was listen, I’m sorry for the miscommunication on both ends.. I’ll take care of the site for you, please just take it down. But no.. he had to try to look like a big guy, start yelling and threatening to kick us out. My Husband even said to Greg, how long have my family and I been coming here? And he said “I don’t know, I don’t count” but when my father in law went into office, Greg tune completely changed bc he knew exactly how long they’ve been going there!! Regardless if this is a camp ground or another type of company.. we’re still customers who pay for a site.. they offer a service so they should have better customer service! I’m appalled by this interaction.. disappointed a grown man could try to argue with someone in-front children and believe that’s ok.. this guy shouldn’t be an owner of anything and it’s sad that this place is going down hill because he wants to sit in his little office and complain he can’t find good help but yet he doesn’t get off his butt and spend a little money to make this place better.. and I’m shocked he isn’t putting a pool in where the pond is.. my nephew got bite by something in that thing.. it’s absolutely disgusting!! My family and I will NEVER be back here and I will be telling everyone I know about this experience because he doesn’t deserve anymore money!! His father did a great job but Greg is a horrible business owner!!! Good luck!

  3 years and counting

  I came here on the recommend of a family friend who had been coming with his family for over 20 years. At first I didn’t love the idea that there was no lake, well we didn’t miss it at all! On our first visit we knew we would be back! I love that I see the same staff there every year. There are seasonal and weekenders alike. Bingo every night, and more activities than you could possibly do!!! The kids ride their bikes to the sports fields, the rec center for the pool and activities. Oh and my young children LOVE the air pillow, they have spent hours on there. My husband loves playing volleyball in the adult pool, and I love the aqua robins every day. I also appreciate the rec staff. They always have a smile and they change the schedule when it rains to rainy day activities. I have a feeling that we will be back every year. Especially since every friend I bring loves it as much as we do and our camping group seems to double every year!!

  Over crowed

  Great amenities and faculty members that run non stop group activities .. 6 pools with adult only pool and splash pad for the kiddos . Basketball courts , pickle ball court, softball field.. u name it they have it … . BUT the place is being over run by campers in very large groups that are rude and obnoxious ..
