Mystic KOA - formally - Highland Orchards

Mystic CT -
Carl and Sharon gave us this review on 04/22/07. Dates of Stay: March 2007. Will You Return? No. What did you camp in? Motor Home - Size of Camping Unit: 33'
Overall Campground Rating: not good.
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.
Owners and Staff: The staff was very busy trying to understand the new KOA system. They cannot be faulted.
Camp landscaping and surroundings: Some of tree branch's are very low. The roads are dirt (mud in our case) and the sites I feel were small and not level.
Overall Site Quality: fair-average
Campsite hookups: electric, No Water or Sewer at this time Campsite Descriptions: semi-private, The sites were very hard to level the rig. Looking at others comments they too had the same problems. This compounded by mud made for a unhappy camper. Fifth Wheels and Travel Trailers would not be as badly affected. They have a lot more Vertical play than a Motor Home.
Comments on restrooms and showers: Couldn't tell because they were all closed.
Activities and Amenities
Dumping, Store and Pool closed.
What is nearby? restaurants, ocean or lake, Gambling, if you are into that. Mystic Seaport is about 7-10 miles down the road. Great place to visit. Beaches in RI are maybe twenty miles, great beaches there.
Last comments: Over all We feel 44 dollars a night (winter rates) with KOA card is to steep for just a site without water and sewer and no dumping. That was closed too.
