ScoutWe picked this campground because we wanted to explore both Connecticut and Rhode Island without changing campsites halfway through the trip. It worked really well for that. We spent most of the day out exploring and came back in the evening to make dinner at the RV. Much more relaxing than bouncing between hotels.
ScoutStayed for a weekend. Staff was super friendly and the park was very clean. Enjoyed some fishing and caught some small trout with my kids. Very relaxing and enjoyed our stay.
ScoutI do not recommend staying at this campsite. As you can't drive to the Campsite, as you have to come on a kayak or canoe.
ScoutWe brought the camper for a quick two-night getaway and spent most of our time doing absolutely nothing. Cooked outside, read a little, and finally slowed down for a weekend.
Scoutgreat location, with pool, electric and bathrooms/showers. close to ferry
ScoutNice campground for a quick stop. Our site was easy to get into, everything worked like it should, and we had a peaceful night before getting back on the road.
ScoutCame here for a quick weekend away and had a great time. We walked around, checked out the pond, and spent most of the night sitting by the fire. Nice easygoing place.
ScoutThis was a really enjoyable campground for our family. We spent part of the day at the heated pool, walked around the property, and finished the evening playing games together at our site.
ScoutClean and tidy. Sites for all types of camping. Close to locational attractions.
