I visited this Campground, and it is like stepping back into the l950's / 60's!!! The pool was small and near the entrance and no diving, no cannonballs, etc. I interpret that for chidren "no fun." There were some teens there who looked like they were in dentention camp my husband said! We drove around and saw many older people there and permanent sites too. Not much going on, quiet like. Playground oldish, and petting area with goats kinda run down!! There were many bathroom / shower areas through the campground I did notice. There are waterfront sites near the River, but I was not impressed, and you could fish there. Sign posted said please watch children the river can rise quite fast! A bit scary, the River had loads of big rocks in it; not a place to swim!! There were alot of dogs there too. Peggys Diner was open for business. I really th,ought I was back in the l950's Mayberry RFD LOL!! Hah Hah. Many trees, and trailors mixy matchy zigged and zagged! Camp store tiny like "happy trails are here again". I do not think I would be happy camping here at all. The prices seem reasonable and the brochure looks GREAT! I guess their brochure needs an update! So, if you like back to the oldies camping, and quietness you may like this old fashioned run down campground! We camped here in a .

I rarely find a truly "family friendly" campground anymore, but this one is it! Great camp for families, pool was very clean, restrooms were very clean, lots to do with the kids like hayrides, fishing on river, river swimming, pool, rec hall, planned activities, movie house, super playground, and petting zoo to name a few. They were extremely diligent at maintaining the camp, no dumpsters, instead camp site pick up made for a very clean place. A lot of seasonals, but they were nice and really took pride in their sites. We would return again and again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The ultimate park for groups, reunions, jamborees, ralleys, etc. My only complaint would be that you could be parked in the far reaches and find it difficult to partake in all the many many activities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have a family of 6 and we have used Strawberry Park for over 15 years. We started with tenting and have moved up (as the children grew) to their park model homes. There are more things to do for the kids (soccer, water polo, volleyball, Frisbee golf) than they can imagine - also plenty to do for the little ones too. Adults have a separate pool to use. Just 15 min. away (if you choose) are Foxwoods and Mohegan Casinos, 25 min. more are the Rhode Island beaches. But why leave because you have everything there - the staff is beyond friendly everything is always clean (bathrooms and all) and the other campers respect each other - our highest recommendations to stay here. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

My family & I have camped at Strawberry Park, Preston, Ct for past several years. The staff are outstanding people. The programs for the Kids and Adults are outstanding. You don't have to leave the park for anything except food shopping. They have games for the kids, bingo's everyday. They have three pools plus a wading pool. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Many activities for both children alone and families. Restrooms/showers are cleaned often. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CAMPGROUNDS WE HAVE EVER GONE TO. THERE IS ACTIVITIES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. THE STAFF IS WONDERFUL. I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

While it is expensive there is no shortage of entertainment for the whole family. Upon check in you are presented with a schedule that includes all sorts of fun. Other reviews stated some of the sites were too far to enjoy the entertainment but I disagree. I personally do not want to be close to it. I would rather enjoy the peace and quiet. The park is very close to Foxwoods Casino and about a 1/2 hour - 45 minute drive to Mohegan Sun. The staff is great and we always enjoy our stay. I wish there were grassy sites but it is shaded so it is hard. Fun is always by all in our group. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Overrun with outside visitors. Great activities. Not dog friendly. Has gotten to expensive. Overrated. I've stayed at many RV Parks, this one used to be really good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Let me start by saying this is the most over rated park I've ever visited. We took advantage of a "spring special" which wasn't special at all. NO activities, no snack bar, no nothing. During our week it appears Strawberry Park is into the money making business. They sold the park for the day to a school field day. Buses filled the campground. Kids everywhere. Fighting, swearing, littering etc. Too many kids to even use the pool ourselves. They seem to have forgotten to mention this when I reserved and "PAID" for my site. Also, you can't walk a pet here. They have to stay on site. You can't even walk them to the designated spot, which by the way, is outside the park. Rules say "no carrying pets". What? Stay away. Seems they are filling this place with mobile homes trying to get rid of the travel trailers. Look else where...I'm gonna make sure I do. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campground is in a great location, only about half hour to Mystic Aquarium and the ocean. The campground itself was great. The sites were a good size and level. However, there was a semi-dried up little creek behind our camper that smelled awful and was a breeding ground for bugs. We had a non-sewer site and paid for a pump out at 9am but didn't receive the services until 7pm that day. So we were backed up all day. There were tons of seasonals and most were park models. Although the volume of seasonals was overwhelming, they really took great care of their properties. The roads were perfect for biking, and well used by all the kids. The pools were over chlorinated, but clean. They even had a toddler pool that was 1.5 feet deep. Was opened on time, and was supervised. There were activities all day and for all age groups. They had bingo, for adults and children, several playgrounds, an inflatable parachute, family washer toss, softball, and much more. It was a great campground with nonstop action. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If you have pets do NOT go to this campground. Your pets are confined to your campsite only. There are signs everywhere stating that you can't walk your pet!!! A responsible pet owner walks their animals. You can't even carry your pet to visit someone!!! This campground is very overrated. It's not worth my money to go to a place where I can't walk my dog. If you don't like animals then just say no pets and I won't bother spending my money there. But to get me there, take my money and then tell me I can't walk my dog...I will not be camping there again, nor will the 6 other families that we went with over the Halloween weekend. Strawberry Park's loss...not mine! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This was our trial run of this campground, and I must say I was impressed with the cleanliness of the entire place!! After reading some reviews here, I was on "guard," but I did not experience many negatives here. We rented an RV, it was immaculate, and our site was great! It was private, and close to activities as well. The bathrooms are limited though for a campground this size for sure. The bathrooms near the pool are clean. Playgrounds are a little small, and activities are short - so we didn't go to many since it was so hot! We just wanted to relax! There are alot of permanent sites, however, I did not have a problem with that!! In fact, one of our perm neighbors gave us a golf cart tour aruond the entire campsite and offered to go to Dunkin Donuts for us. I mean, I don't have friendy neighbors like that at home!! There were many children, and I must say for all the children here it was relatively quiet. Security was good, they came around every so often checking things out. Trash pick up was good. Pools were clean, and my 10 year old daughter had a blast there. The staff was friendly and we had no problem with them. The counter girl at the snack bar made me a fresh pot of coffee every time I asked her without a fuss! :) The only thing I can complain about with this campground is I believe they are overpriced a bit, and I do not like their check in/ check out times!! They are strict about it also. We arrived at 3:40pm and we could not get our key to the exact time!!! So we waited in camp store hung out, and then got our key! Checkout is early for what you pay too. They do need more bathrooms to accommodate all the people here, but I believe many have RV's with shower themselves here. The Arcade for the children was not great at all..You can get better at a Walmart! LOL other than that, what can I say? I definitely enjoyed it and would go back!! A safe, nice place for children too!!! If you do not feel comfortable with alot of children around, do not go here! It's not for you at all!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We are the friends in the motor home that were with the couple in the fifth wheel that visited Strawberry Park in May of 2005. The spot was not only a muddy grassless hole, the farmer nearby was spreading chicken manure. You could not smell it from the spots near the office, the ones with grass. But we were in the dreaded hole. Very messy park, the shuffle board courts had so many birds nesting in them we were afraid to enter. We could not have played anyway as there were boulders on the courts. we will never return. we did write for a refund, never heard a word from them. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We visited Strawberry Park in May of 2005. We made reservations ahead of time even though it was May and it was Monday thru Wednesday reservation. We had visited this campground roughly twenty years ago. It was a wonderful place to take our children and they enjoyed themselves and the activities. So we were anxious to return. We talked our friends into going with us. Man, was that a mistake. We were the only campers there who were not on a permanent site. Our sites appeared to be in a new area. There wasn't a blade of grass in sight. It was a mudhole!! There were other sites at the campground which would have been nicer and were not occupied but they put us in this open area for some unknown reason. We were assured the hot tubs were available when we called for reservations. They weren't of course. Also, the pool wasn't open. We were not offered any explanation or any type of discount because these features were not available. The bathrooms were deplorable - dark and dingy. Then we found out that our little Bichon was not allowed off our site! She didn't understand why she was quarantined to the camper for three full days. We are responsible dog owners and were happy to pick up our dog's messes and had planned on doing so. However, there was a cat roaming around the grounds. The picnic tables were probably originals from our stay back in the 80's. All in all, it was the worst camping trip we had ever had. Our poor friends in their motorhome couldn't believe it was the same place we had to described to them. Needless to say, we will never go back there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Our second trip, main bathhouse was locked up, the other bathhouse is an old 70's style and dirty. More park models than last time, very restrictive dog policy (no dogs off your site, no walking), very small camp store, and no checkout on Saturday. The brochure touts "One of America's great campgrounds" but I just don't see it that way. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was a disappointment. The pools were clean but the sites were ridiculously small. There were scads of people packed in like sardines. The kids liked the activities, but the playgrounds were lame compared to what I expected. The worst part was that I got a COLD shower. Apparently, the hot water ran out pretty quickly. Our cable was not working (the end was stripped to bare wires) and we were told that we weren't paying for cable, just water and electric. HUH? So they wouldn't fix it. It was just plain not worth the price. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Hello....im a former visitor of the park! I am 13 years old and I have been to the park a lot of times... its cool!!! I recomend it a lot for familes who have kids! Because they have alot of fun activities that go on through out the day! Such as....softball, egg tosses, grease pole climb, BINGO, etc, anywho... there is a cool guy who works there called Dave but we call him giligan cuz he looks like giligan from giligans island. He is the recreation director, and keeps things moving smoothly. I would say the only down part about my trip to the park is having to leave at the end of the week!!!!! ya g2g ttyl buH*bye We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I arrived 8:45 PM and Office was dark already and was supposed to stay open till 9:30. There were no signs helping direct you to your sites, and they were not well numbered you have to walk up to the electrical box to find number written in magic marker. The site was full of leaves, and we were wedged in between to permanent sites. The E/W/S was so spread out, bring extensions. Cable did not work, I reported it on Thursday, and I left on Sunday still no cable, even though they said they would take care of it. Went to check bathroms which were clean, got undressed for shower and it did not work, so on to the next. Not very pet friendly, there was no dog walk and your dogs are not allowed off your campsite. To top it all off my neighbor decides to burn his mattress since the campground did not pick it up off his lawn, which left ashes on my new truck and camper. I sent a e-mail to management and never heard a reply, it was very disappointing unless you like to stay in a trailer park with your neighbor real close and the sites being very dusty and dirty. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

After hearing from friends how wonderful this park was, we decided to go during one of their Halloween weekends. What a mistake. The sites are not easily marked. The roads are narrow. The sites are very small and close together. We had difficulty parking our 30 ft. TT which has never happened before. The prices for pony rides were expensive and definitely not worth the money (only one trip in a small circle). There were activities for the children but not enough for us to have made the trip. Bathrooms and showers were dirty. Seasonals had the run of the place. Not a fun trip at all. We promised ourselves we would never go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is one of the worst campgrounds I've been to in a long time. My parents warned me (their visit 4 years ago was deplorable), but I didn't listen. Many things went wrong with our visit. They have 3 pools, but what campground closes one of the pools in the middle of the day (noon) to treat and clean the pool. I've never been to a CG that closes a pool at the height of the swimming time. (Here comes my favorite one): Children aren't allowed in the pool with any type of flotation devices (that includes bubbles, arm bands or floatie suits) unless it is a US Coast Guard Certified life jacket. Of course, they sell them in the store for $25! What a scam! While we were out exploring, we bought one for each of our kids for $5 each. The teenagers hired to be lifeguards were a joke. We witnessed one child (approximately 7 years old and with a lifejacket) being literally tortured by his older brother and practically held under water. My cousin and myself had to speak to him several times. We even mentioned it to the teenager/lifeguard, who basically didn't want to deal with it. Of course, the boys' mother was in the "adult only" pool, and not watching her children. It may be one of their rules - that no child should be in the pool without their adult supervisor - but they obviously don't enforce that. Don't even get me started on the bathrooms. First of all, there were too few bathhouses for the number of sites they have. I believe the ladies room that I had to use (which was quite a hike) had only 3 shower stalls. The ladies room was constantly dirty. I think I saw the bathrooms being cleaned once during our 5 day stay. If there is a door on the bathrooms, it was always propped open because I never saw it closed, which resulted in some mighty large bugs in the bathrooms. Also, the shower heads are so far up (approximately 7-8 feet), that you have to run in circles to get wet. The water pressure is low, and with the shower head being that far up, it's practically a mist by the time it hits you. The men's room had a urinal that was constantly covered by a plastic bag because it was almost pulled off the wall. (By the way, we were there Sunday through Friday, so there should have been a plumbers available to fix this). One of the urinals overflowed and almost soaked my son's sneakers with backed up urine. The men's rooms didn't have doors on the shower stalls, so my oldest son was not too happy about that (neither was my modest husband). The CG offers cable service, but you have to buy a connector (minimal $5 charge, I believe). But when we hooked it up, it didn't work. They claimed the cable was out. Did they offer to refund our money? Of course not. Another scam! They have a few playgrounds, but they're small and not very fun for the kids. They did have plenty of activities to do, but the seasons over-run the park, and are very unfriendly. They have too many permanent trailer / seasonal sites that the people have chosen to decorate (I should say "over decorate") their sites with everything from benches, to water fountains, to gardens, to trains. Yes, a train was running through one site's front yard. (I have to say, though, the man was very friendly and didn't shoo us away when the kids were checking out his masterpiece). We did choose to attend a bon fire while we were there one night. That made me very nervous. People running it were too young to be in charge of a large fire with children in attendance. All in all, it was a bad experience and I definately will not go back, nor would I recommend it. The campground owners need to remember that unless they want to be called a trailer park, they need to start catering a little more to the non-season people and clean up their act. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We go to strawberry park every year. Mostly for the activities for the kids and adults alike. There are three swimming pools, one for adults only. The campground is mobbed with children all over the place. It is a very safe place to let your kids roam. Security is tight and the campground is closed in by a security booth. Roads are a little dusty but kids can easily ride their bikes along the paved streets. We have seen a strong effort to keep this campground clean with workers sweeping the streets of loose pebbles and stones. The activity director is number one in keeping the events going and safe. We go every year as the kick off of the end of the school year. It is quiet, clean and lots of fun. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I've read lots of favorable reviews of this campground so I wanted to post our experiences to "balance" things out. Just got back from there after spending 4 nights. As a frame of reference my opinion of a good campground is Four Seasons in Delaware and Lake George RV Park in New YORK. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN !! Strawberry is NOTHING like these. The interior roads are dirt (actually more like dust which gets all over everything). And ridden with pot holes. The sites are so close together that one can hear a camper two sites away burp ! Another great thing is that apparently you can have as many tents as you can fit on each site, which means that some of these sites had upwards of 20 people on them. Also, many of the sites have trees on each side of the site and because the sites are so narrow it is a real challenge to back your rig up without hitting a tree. From the looks of some of the trees it appears that some are more successful at this than others ! Big Issue: Only two bathrooms in the whole campsite. Which is apparently two too many as they were cleaned just once during the four days we were there. I know this because there was a certain toilet that needed plunging (only three to begin with!). If you like to walk you'll like this place. On Sunday when it seems most people arrive, your shoved into a giant hay field and lined up two and three rows wide. You are then told to walk about 1/2 mile (yeah really 1/2 mile) to the office to stand in line with 50 other campers to sign in and then walk back to your rig where upon the magic hour of three o'clock the RV roundup begins where the other end of the hay field is opened up and all the rigs are shot out the gate to find your site. They adverstise this as the best campground in CT. That full page ad in Woodalls certainly must of helped guarantee their 5 "W" rating. If in fact this is the best campground in CT., then we are done camping in CT. We camped here in a camper.

Excellent Family Campground !! a full slate of recreational activities from 8:30am until 9pm for both the kids and adults. Superb staff are there to lend a hand at all hours and 24hr security keeps things peaceful all day and night. The only major negative is the laundry facilities are quite limited with only 6 washer/dryers. We have camped here over the years and have had a positive experience every time. We camped here in a camper.

This is an "ownership" type campground where many of the sites are owned by seasonal or year round campers. Lots and lots of park models with very permanant landscaping, exterior lighting, add on rooms and decks. The campground needs bigger and more bathhouses, the key word being "more". Activities all day long for all ages including adults, the director of activities is the best of the best. Lots of fun for everyone at this place. Close to Foxwoods and Mohecan Sun Casino's if you like gambling. We camped here in a camper.
