This was our first stay at the Wawaloam Campground. We stayed over the Father’s Day Weekend from Saturday through Tuesday. Wish Mother Nature was nicer to us; that would be our only complaint. You are always a little leery going to a new campground. We found this campground solely by RV Park Review. Most of the reviews were good but they give you just a small idea about the place. Our experience with Wawaloam Campground was a great one from making the reservation to heading home. All the employees are friendly and hospitable. We made a few phones calls to ask little questions about the campground and each time the person was informative. Arriving we where met at the office by a very helpful person who checked us in and gave us information about the area. The roads are a mix of paved and dirt, all wide enough for big rigs. Driving to our site I was amazed by the sizes of the sites. Being in one of the smallest states in the Union, they sure do give the largest camp sites, not just the seasonal sites but the transient sites too. Our site was unbelievable large; most other campground would have tried to make 2 or squeeze 3 sites on the same area. The store was a nice size having many campers’ needs for your stay. Their food selection could have been larger. One of our only complaints would be that the store had no hours during the week. When we stopped in the store, the workers were young ladies. All of the girls were very friendly, helpful, and happy. The campground has a large swimming pool, water slide and one of the best mini-golf courses I have seen at a campground. We have camped from Maine to Florida, East Coast to West and this is one of our top 10 if not top 5 campgrounds we have stayed at. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The campground was very clean and the staff wasted no time cleaning the sites once campers vacated. The sites were big and easy to access. The bathrooms/showers were very clean and well maintained. The camp store was well stocked, ice cream was very good ! The menu for food at the camp store offered a nice variety and was reasonably priced. The kids enjoyed the waterslide , 5 rides for $5, or $20 for the day. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is actually a campground that describes itself as a family campground and means it. The rates, ($40.00) per night water/electric/sewer in the summer, are for 2 adults and 3 children. Too many places call themselves a family campground and then charge extra for the children. This is a very quiet and relaxing campground with plenty for the kids to do. They have a great pool and also two huge water slides. The only complaint about the slides is that they charge extra to use them. It is $5 for 5 rides or $20 for an all day pass. There are a couple of water parks in the area (Ct or NH) that don't charge much more then $20 admission and you get a lot more then 2 slides. If they could lower the price a little I would have given the campground a 9 rating. The sites are large and some what private. The seasonal sites are very well kept. I also think they need to cut back on the number of sites that they allow dogs on. It seems that most campers had their dogs with them and some would be barking early in the morning. We will most definitely be back to this campground again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
WE CAMPED IN SITE 78. W/E/S.CHECKED IN AUG.1 AND LEFT AUG. 4. THE SITES AT WAWALOAM ARE SOME OF THE LARGEST I'VE CAMPED AT. LOTS OF ROOM FOR THE KIDS AND DOG. THERE IS A NICE SIZE PLAYGROUND AND A NICE POOL. THE NEW WATER SLIDES WERE OPEN. AFTER RETURNING HOME. I CHECKED THIER WEB SITE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY MENTION ON COST FOR THER WATER SLIDE AND NOPE. NOT A WORD. $20.00 EACH KID A DAY OR $5.00 FOR 5 RIDES. SEEMED CRAZY TO ME. THEY SHOULd HAVE HAD IT ON THIER WEB SITE SAYING THERE WAS A CHARGE. BUT I TOOK MY DAUGHTER ON IT FOR THE 5 RIDES. THEY SHOULD COME UP WITH ANOTHER WAY TO CHARGE, $20 A DAY PER SITE OR SOMETHING.THE CAMP STORE IS GOOD SIZE AND WELL STOCKED.ICE CREAM IN THE STORE AS WELL AS VIDEO GAMES. WE'LL RETURN AGAIN NEXT YEAR EVEN IF WE DON'T GO ON THE NEW SLIDE. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground has nice spacious sites, but not much to do, unless you have a lot of money. The pool is free, but you must bring your own chairs. The brochure shows a nice water slide, but it is $20 per day, per child. Mini-golf is $2.50 per person (not too bad). The basketball court is supposed to be lit up until 10:00, but they shut the lights off using their own discretion, leaving children in the pitch dark, before 10:00 pm. Staff spend a lot of time riding around in golf carts trying "to catch" someone doing something wrong, but if you need assistance with something, they are not available. In the past, this was a nice family campground, with the owners tending to visitors in a friendly way. Since it has been passed down to other family members, the service has been poor. It seems service is being replaced with greed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We enjoy this campground year after year! Nice family activities - crafts, movies, etc. Our children love the water slide (2!). Great location for day trips in Rhode Island. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground! Large sites, most are shaded. The seasonals are well-kept. Very clean campground. Large playground. The pool, waterslide and mini golf were all closed for the season but looked nice. Good location for day trips to Mystic, CT and RI beaches, etc. The only thing I wish they had there is cable TV, but otherwise, I'd go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Campground is very neat and clean and staff is very friendly. All of the sites we saw were nicely spaced apart - many with trees, grass and some dirt and many with full grass. Getting into the campground with a big rig is tight but doable. From the staff, they planning on a new entrance. Some of the turns in the campground are tight but again doable. Although it should have cable, the campground is laid out well and is so beautiful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a really nice campground with lot of amenities. The sites were a good size. The campground store has a lot to offer. This is definitely a family oriented campground. My two children give it two thumbs up. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a quiet place. I liked the fact that most of the transients were in one area towards the front the park near most of the activities such as the swimming pool with water slide, mini-golf, playground, and basketball court and small pond. The seasonals are in the back section of the park. Most sites are larger than you normally find and nearly all are back-ins. There is a mix of shaded sites but there are also some sites in full sun on grass. They serve food on Friday nights that is quite good and reasonably priced as well as a nice convenience when arriving on a Friday evening and just want to relax. We like the chowder and clam cakes. Upcoming: We heard that the campground is adding a 2nd water slide that will certainly ease the long lines on those hot summer days. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I want to echo previous reviews. A really nice campground. Our kids greatly enjoyed the water slide, pool (pool was not heated), and playground. The weekend we were there was very quiet, no DJ dance party, few activities. We very much enjoyed it. We had a shaded, full hookup site with concrete pad. Most sites are really big. Our site, as with most, had a stone fire ring, a nice change from the standard truck wheel rim. Camp store was well supplied, I thought the prices were reasonable, and they had a large ice cream selection. Bathrooms were clean and had large shower stalls with room to change clothes. Showers are pay, though, a minus to me. Seasonal folk were very nice and sites were very well kept. We will be returning here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The only reason I didn't rate this at a ten was...Cable hook up. If this camp ground had cable it was going to get a ten from me. very clean, nice BIG sites and privet. Great location, pet friendly.......thats a big plus in my book! The seasonal people are very friendly and the owners. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We prefer very private sites but went camping with a large group, which this campground is
good for. There is a lot for kids to do - pool, waterslide, putt-putt golf, campstore. They had a dance for kids on Saturday. A lot of seasonals who kept their sites up well. Camped in the safari field, which really wasn't a field - it had trees, fire ring, water, electric. $3 extra for dogs. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
