Approx Dates of Stay: 8/1-8/3. Overall Campground Rating: not good. What stood out? Very wooded - this was the only saving grace of the trip. This campground is roughly 95% seasonal and they park any old way they feel. Very rocky and un-groomed. The car bottomed-out all over the place. Very good potential, if new owners can turn it around. Bathrooms or should I say lack of them. One toilet for half the campground. Never did find the other. Owners and Staff: The...

What stood out? Driving in with my husband and 2 small children from Maine and arrived early. Asked if we could check in early as check in time is a ridiculous 4PM! The staff member I was speaking with very nicely said she'd check when another very rude staff member said "NO! Check in is at 4PM!" I asked if we could use the pool until 4PM as it was a very hot day. I was told no. I asked the very nasty...

What stood out? In all fairness we stayed the first week they became a KOA. So there was a lot of chaos and construction going on. I was told by friends what a wonderful place this was and was very disappointed. If you are a gambler, this is the place for you. Way to pricey for everyday campers.

What stood out? good weekend activities, need some more for the kids during the week. pond & field sites get very, very busy on the weekends. they need a separate area for teens to hang out, they seem to stick around the playground and get very vulgar and I didn't want my little ones around them. some things need updating - mini golf was falling apart, bath houses were in a bit of disrepair.

What stood out? We stayed here for three nights three years ago, and we had the site we requested, which was on the small man-made pond. It was nearest to a stand of trees, private and quiet.

When we decided to go back last year, we wanted the same site so I called about two MONTHS in advance and was VERY SPECIFIC about how much we loved that site and wanted it back. We could...

We did a drive thru observation of this campground on a rainy Memorial Day weekend. This place was pretty nice -- basic settings not any glitz -- the campground is situated beside the Natchaug River and spreads out a bit beyond into shaded and not so shaded sites. We really liked the sites along the river and did not like the others - we felt that they were too close together and too out in the open. We like...

What stood out? Very nice lakefront campground; pool was in excellent condition, although not heated; new hot tub; very large site, and they escort you to your site so there is no hunting around. Only complaint is that our gray hookup was clogged and maintenance people piled dirt on our electric/water hookups when they dug it up. When they replaced the gray water hookup, it was too high off the ground and our tank wouldn't drain properly.

Approx Dates of Stay: July 18 - 20. Overall Campground Rating: fair. What stood out? While the campground was very neat and clean, we found it very difficult to sleep. We were located over in the "letter section" and between the noise from Rt. 2, the fire whistle and the lack of campground enforcement of "quiet" time, we were only able to sleep from 2:00 am to 7:00 am.
