What campers like
Quiet camping environments: Many Websterville-area RV parks offer peaceful settings away from crowds. "This is a nice, quiet, and secluded CG for an overnight stay. Gravel roads and relatively level gravel sites. The FHUs were in good order," notes a visitor to Lazy Lions Campground.
Lake access: Water features rank high among camper preferences. "Across the street from the campground was access to the lake with plenty of grassy areas to hang out. And beautiful sunsets at night! A five minute hike- though it is quite a rocky, boulder-y hike- from the sites leads to a small river and swimming hole," shared a visitor at Branbury State Park Campground.
Family activities: Programmed events and amenities for children stand out in reviews. "We had a amazing time! Dog friendly, mini golf, heated pool, two playgrounds, and crafts and fun things for the kids! We truly enjoyed this park most sites are spacious and some good ones with privacy," explained a camper at Sugar Ridge.
Scenic settings: Natural beauty consistently appears in positive reviews. "This is a great spot to stop for a night with your RV and enjoy the river for a night. Easy to get to, just off of a one-way paved road," noted a visitor at Brookside RV Camping.
What you should know

Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Schedule around campground programming. "Kids were happy with the heated pool, horse rides, and other activities," noted a visitor at Sugar Ridge, suggesting families plan around scheduled events.

Large trees provide shade on a grassy lawn, and grills are available," shared a Branbury State Park visitor, pointing out facilities that work well for families.
Site selection strategy: Choose locations based on specific family needs. "We stayed in a wooded area surrounded by large rocks my daughter could climb on. The beach was nearby and included in the stay with horseshoes and a playground," noted another Branbury camper, demonstrating how terrain features can enhance family camping.
Local dining options: Families appreciate nearby food options when cooking gets tiresome. "Polly's Pancake Parlor is a few minutes up the road in Sugar Hill if you'd like a robust breakfast, but call ahead to shorten your wait times," advised a camper near Cannon Mountain.
Tips from RVers
Site orientation challenges: Pay attention to campground maps and site layouts. "Site map is oriented upside down and would be helpful if corrected and updated. Our site looked angled on map so thinking it would be easier to approach from a certain direction to back in, drove in as I needed but found site was perpendicular to road," cautioned a visitor at Sugar Ridge.
Power requirements: Verify electrical service before arrival. "Family staying next to us found their site had 50 amp service not the expected 30 amp and they needed to borrow an adapter cord," noted another Sugar Ridge camper, highlighting the importance of confirming hookup specifications.
Leveling considerations: Be prepared for uneven terrain. "Gravel roads and relatively level gravel sites," reported a visitor at Riverside Camping & RV Resort, with the term "relatively" suggesting that some leveling might still be necessary.
Site size limitations: Research accommodations for larger rigs. "The sites are narrow, a little bigger than a parking space, especially because of the trees in between the sites. We stayed at site four. Site seven looks to be the best because no trees on one side lets you have some room," advised an RVer at Cannon Mountain regarding site selection for optimal space.
