We camped here in a motor home using Passport America membership. We were on the hill with full hookups. Drove through the grass to get to the site. Large site with table, fire pit, satellite Internet and TV. Phone OK. Lots of permanent sites. There are shade sites available. Road into park has lots of potholes which could swallow a Bug. Personnel very nice and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We called to see if they were open and ready for us, since it was opening weekend and there had been a lot of rain. They said they were, so off we went. We arrived and they had no idea where to put us. They settled on "the hill". We walked the site and said it seemed soft from rain. The man said it would be fine...we sunk to our axles. I went to the office to tell them the site was too soft and we were stuck they told me, "You better call someone. I hope you have AAA". I tried to call and was informed, "Oh, we don't get a Sprint signal here. I guess you can use our phone, if it's local". Things only got worse from there. Would never go back! We camped here in a Motorhome.
The road driving into the park wasn't very good, but the sites were quite wide and had lots of grass around. We weren't beside the lake, but it looked like there were more tent sites at the lake front, with lots of trees. We used Passport America. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We just returned from long weekend. We paid $48 a night and we had an unhappy experience, our first since we have started camping 17 years ago. The first day the water was brown and then the second day we had no water for a few hours in the morning, as well as no electricity, then the next day we lost electricity twice for a few hours and thats is when we decided to call the office and see what was going on. In all our years of camping we have never had this happen. The office staff was rude and said "it's not our fault you have no power" (Only a few sites had no power, it was not the whole campground. ) We asked if we could have some kind of compensation or money back due to the fact the problem kept happening, due to no fault of ours and the office staff hung up on us. We called back and they said that this was no hotel, but we should go to one if we are not happy. They really did not care if we had a good experience at their place. On another note: The campground gave us sites with a little less than 2 feet between our awning and the next site. However the seasonal sites had huge areas with gazebos. And we had to share campfire ring with about 10 sites. Maybe they don't want weekenders at there campground perhaps they should change to a private seasonal only campground???? We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I submit this review without even being able to go here. We called to make a reservation and got an answering machine. We left a message as instructed and told them we wanted to make a reservation. That was a week ago and we still have not received a response. I now will not spend a dime at a place with such poor customer service that won't even take the time to assist in making a reservation. With good camping destinations scarce in this state, owners should make every attempt to draw and make happy the customers that want to camp here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great family campground with both lake and pool swimming. Rec hall has organized activities in addition to billiards, video and board games. Many seasonal sites, all were well maintained. The location is convenient to the Hartford and eastern CT areas. We were on a well shaded site though there is a safari area that is not shaded. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
