Rating: 9 5 10 8 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: I was surprised to read the review that said this CG isn't good for motorhomes. We have a 40' motorhome and we pull a 29' enclosed utility trailer. We are also in spot 191 and we have ample room. We didn't have any problem maneuvering through the park. As for the dust, we expect that at most parks that don't have concrete and grass. I'd rather have dust than the sand. We didn't have any problem with the electric. The only reason they didn't get a 10 is not having sewer. But they did come and empty our tanks for free. We would stay here again. Staff is very friendly. - sdhorses
Stayed 4 nights in our motorhome. CG not set up for motorhomes. Sites all gravel so dusty. Electrical service fluctuated. Hook-ups do not include black water drain, must go outside CG to location next door to drain tanks. Garden hose drain provided for gray water. Lots of activities for kids. Forced to sign indemnity waiver releasing CG from liability even in cases of gross negligence by CG. - Al Z

Rating: 9 9 6 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Very clean park with good size sites. Large field with nice playground. Pool was nice as was lake for swimming. The camp store was also a hit with kids. The ice cream was awesome! Utilities worked great but in a bizarre place. Way up front.(site 10) They loaned us a cord, but we had to buy a hose..50' $30. - stanner17
Great spot (#9), right on the lake so we could fish right from our site. Staff was super friendly, key card access, great country store and beach. Would have liked full sewer hookup at the site, but I understand being on the water gravity is working against you. Lots of activities for our boys, almost like a summer camp. Highly recommend going. Bring your kayak and fishing pole! - Pshaine
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Witch Meadow Lake Family Campground »Very expensive CG, especially with no sewer hook-up and marginal 30 amp electricity. Do have gray water hook-up. Always walk and check out your site before bringing a rig in. Very few are level enough or large enough for Big Rigs. Even 5th wheels need to do a lot of work to get level. Interior roads poorly maintained and become streams in heavy rain. Staff friendly and helpful, but always a struggle to get a site that works for 40' motor home. They don't allow you to reserve a specific site. Bathrooms and lake area extremely clean and neat. No cable TV, but can get local TV with antenna. Verizon cell and air card work well. Lots of activities in season. Some seasonal sites are not well maintained. Unfortunately not anything better in the area. - TravelingBaggs

Rating: 9 1 1 1 1 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Very accommodating owner, easy access to grocery store and interstate. They also had a store that could meet your basic needs as well as a grill/kitchen. There were several seasonal people on site, that wasn't a drawback. They were very friendly as well as helpful. It was like a small community. It was Memorial Day weekend and there were a lot of primitive campers so the owners put us with the seasonal folks. Some of the sites were not completely level...you can make them work. The sites were also large and shady. I would stay again. - kenbarbie
Let me first share the good about this park. It is located on Gardner Lake. The lake offers good fishing, and anything else you can do on the lake. They put down new decking on their docks. Now the bad. The ownership/management only wants your money. They lack business savvy social skills and at time make you feel like you are an inconvenience. As a seasonal camper you are charged for everything. 3 grand for the season. $100 extra if you bring one kayak or $3 per day to launch from their property. The roads are dirt, making park very dusty. The bath houses are gross with spider/cob webs everywhere. Only 3 of the cabins are usable, the rest are condemned. I have not been in one, but looking in they are nasty. The snack bar food is okay but too expensive. The rec hall is filthy, the boat house is run down, the beach is a joke and run down, the sidewalks are all broken up and are a major hazard. (Law suit in the making). The paved areas of the road are also busted up pretty badly. The basket ball court is gravel and there are very limited activities. The ones on the schedule, only about 1/2 are actually done. This is mostly a seasonal place but the ownership/management does not been care about its residents which reflects in the number that have left. They do not have the passion of a normal campground owners and no pride in their facility. If your interest is a place to park and want nothing from the facility, this is a good place. If you are looking for a fun, activity based, safe, clean, and cared for place: you WON'T find it here. Connecticut State Parks offer more for your money. - trooper889
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Pequot Ledge Campground »Check in was easy and that's about it. They share Gardnerlake withe the state. Swimming area is a joke, activities are poor, we were placed next to a bunch of drunk seasonals that wouldn't stop until 2:30 in the morning. I told the owners the next day but they didn't seem to care much, they talked to them, then pointed out I was the one that complained. One group apologized, that afternoon, the other did not, and it continued that night. If you want to get drunk all weekend, this place is for you. Not recommended for families, looking for relaxation from it all. - avidcamper123

Rating: 8 8 3 1 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed here during Easter break. It was very early and no other camp grounds were open yet. They graciously allowed us to stay in the winter loop for only $30 a night for full hook up. It was terrible weather (snowed). Sure, the camp ground is a bit dated and could use some updates but the person we spoke to on the phone to arrange the reservation was very pleasant. Her husband was the one who showed us to our place. I would stay here again. Friendly people, the few that were there. Thank you for a great vacation. - aka4170
Nice campground with friendly staff. This is a older park, great entrance road. We didn't camp much, were out all day most days. - FPguy
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Acorn Acres Campground »I am writing this review and sadly I never got to stay at this campground. We came to visit and checked the place out in July. We were looking for someplace to seasonalize our camper for the rest of the year. The campground was nice, they had a game room for the kids and an "adult room" which smelled moldy and looked pretty run down. Their store was terrible but despite that, the place was in pretty good shape and would have done for the rest of the season, until we could get into someplace we loved next year. We talked to the woman behind the counter to see if she had any seasonal sites available at the time. she said they didn't have any that minute but the beginning of August she would have a lot opening up. She asked me to fill out a card with my info on it and she said she would be calling me the beginning of August with the available site numbers. Well, the beginning of August came and went. I called, they said they could not find the card I filled out and retook my info. I requested a call back that day and never got one. So I waited another week and called again. They said they don't have a card for me? So, I gave her the info again, and she said she would call me back. Well, I called again this week and what do you think they told me? They can't find my card! So, they tried to retake my information for the 4th time, but to tell you the truth if they can't keep track of a simple card, I don't think they can possibly run the rest of the campground. So decided I would rather have my camper parked in my driveway than at a campground that was run this inefficiently. - erin1129

Rating: 7 8 10 4 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The sites are fairly close together and are gravel with grassy weeds growing up in each spot, and there were pot holes and some were filled and some were not. The wifi was barely there, even though they park was not full. They charged extra for dogs, and require a deposit for their gate cards that we had to hand deliver late our last night so we could get the $10 deposit back. - Vipermanden
This is a beautiful park with well maintained grounds. The roads are fine crushed gravel but very flat. The sites are well spaced and level. It's very easy to navigate with good roads into the park off the highway and big rig friendly inside of the park. The bathrooms are very clean. I didn't use the showers. 50 amp strong power, good cable channels and fairly usable WiFi although it did cut in and out on occasion. There have a nice laundry room here and some activities like a pool and game room. This isn't full of kid activities so if you're looking for a kid park this isn't it. It's very quiet and ralaxing. The staff was friendly on check in as were the other campers. Cell data speeds are excellent with both Verizon and ATT at 40 d/l. There's tons of things to do in the area. Mystic is a great town to shop and dine in and there are state parks with hiking nearby. Gillette castle is also cool. Everything you could need is easily accessible. - Jessie1975

Every time we arrive at the park we are greeted sincerely by the owner. She truly is a great business owner who puts her customers' priorities before anything else. Every site in the park is large and spacious, has a picnic table, fire-pit and a grassy area to relax in the sun. I highly recommend this park to anyone looking for a high class resort for a reasonable price. Aces High RV Park never disappoints :) - Rogerd4568

Rating: 6 8 9 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Nice campground, hardly a "resort". Fairly level grass/dirt back-in sites. Full hookup 50 amp available, which we used. Nice pool and lake side swimming areas. Pretty well maintained and not too far from I-95. For the bad side: No signage from freeway, state road or city streets. Not even the entry. The total COMBINED IQ of the staff must be in low 100s. They are absolutely clueless about EVERYTHING. Can't check you in, can't get you to a site, can't give you a receipt, can't explain why there is no WiFi when promised etc., etc. We are easy to please, this is not sour grapes. Save yourself the headache and stay somewhere else. - teepee51
Campground was not crowded on the weekend we were there. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. It was early in the season so the campground is getting up and running. Only negative is the road noise at the site we were in. The 50 amp full service sites back up next to a busy highway. - RobS80
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Odetah Camping Resort »What a wonderful place. Love the fact that it's the exact opposite of one of those big flat paved parking lot cg's. The winding (and hilly) roads add so much charm. The "alphabet" section we were in (site B) has tiered, level, wide, wooded FHU sites. Everybody and everything here is geared for your pleasure. For once I'm not complaining about having ANY tv. Can't wait for the opportunity to go back. - campiflo

Rating: 9 7 5 3 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: If you are coming in east on Hwy 82 across the Connecticut River and are in a big rig - Do Not take Ray Hill Rd as our GPS suggested. It is a narrow road with a steep incline and a number of curves. Keep going to 82/151 and then head south to the campground. This is a large campground. A number of the sites are permanent but very well kept up. Check in was fast and friendly. You will need to pay $10 for the gate key - you get your money back when you turn it back in. If you are in a Class A or C you may need to get out of the vehicle to use the gate key. We were in Site 43, a back in with room to store the tow-dolly. It is grass with a small patch of cement to park the RV on. They are nice and wide and level. We had electric (50amp) and water only with a grey water dumping. We had never used this type of system before, even after staying in 100's of campgrounds across the county, so we were not familiar with how it worked. It would be helpful at check in if they ask if you know about it. You need a special hose and connection piece, which they sell in their store, but we didn't know we needed it till we started to set up. Hubby went and bought the hose, then discovered he needed the connect so he had to go back to the store to get that. All could have been avoided if they had asked us if we were familiar with it. Once set up, it worked great. There is a pool, playground, ball field, game room, putt-putt golf, a number of stocked ponds and plenty of organized activities. The laundry and bathroom were clean. WiFi was good and Verizon signal was strong. The park is quiet and well maintained. We stayed June 25 - July 5, 2018 and paid $39.70 a night with a combination of Passport America Discount and their weekly rate. - BarrettsHappyTrails
This was too expensive without a full hook up. The water and electric was at the rear of the site and needed extra hoses. There was no wifi at site and was marginal in the office. the dump station is at the rear of the park with very tight turns and low hanging branches with road signs at each tight turn. - Al and Anne-Marie
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Wolf's Den Family Campground »Pulling into the park, we thought "Wow!" This is going to be great. After checking in, giving the girl the dimensions of our RV, we went to our site. It was a back in. Great for a 28' or less. We have a 36'. No way would we fit in this spot. Went to the office to let them know the site was way to small. They told us to find a spot to our liking and let them know which one. There was on open grass field with trees and pull thrus. Nope. Can't use those. As those are for "seasonal" Campers. Hmmmm.. Looking around, there seemed to be A LOT of seasonal or stationary campers. We finally found a spot that we struggled with to level out. Even then we weren't quite level. We actually witnessed someone in a Fifth Wheel struggle for almost an hour to get into his site. This park definitely caters to the summer family vacationers. - StephanieBekker

Rating: 8 9 10 8 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed at this campground for a few days over Columbus weekend. Our site was gravel but we sunk in and had to relevel twice. They did get an unusually large amount of rain a couple of days prior to our stay, so that probably contributed to the issue. We very much enjoyed our stay and even got a fireside story from one if the hosts. We would definately stay here again. - Travelindog
We stayed at GrandView for 12 days in an RV. It is a beautiful campground in a lovely little CT town. There are spacious sites for tents, RVs and also many cabins. The couple that runs the campground is friendly, gracious and very helpful. They take pride in the upkeep and treat everyone like family. The 50 amp spaces were in the open, so no shade. But, the beautiful campground makes up for it. They have a nice pool, a game room, a loft with board games, etc. The only amenity we missed was a laundry. We will definitely stay there again if we are in the area. - GranNan06

Rating: 1 5 2 10 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Canadian Goose excrement littered the campsite. We tried to clean it up with paper towels, but it wasn't enough. We were literally laying in it. The men's bathroom septic was backed up from the time we got there. Excrement on the men's bathroom floor. No place to go except outside. The front reception desk brutally rude. I was sick when I got home with flu symptoms. - Robyn Levesque
Read the previous reviews and can see their point, the bathrooms were terrible. It's a country bumpkin place no doubt. Yet, if you're looking for some quiet time on a lake or quiet country roads the this will do. I'd not tent here but if you are self contained i.e. RV and don't mind using your own facilities then this is a good place.
It's quiet and right on the lake, good place for small kids to catch Sunfish and enjoy the lake, great views of the country and if you cycle then Route 207 is a good route, decent shoulders and challenging hills. Again, if you use your own facilities this is a good place, if you need to use theirs don't come here. - koekaView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lake Williams Campground »The Camp Store is an old dingy cement block building with dilapidated furniture, poor game room, and lacks amenities. The owner charges $20 for gate key which they said would be refunded when I checked out. Also charges extra for cable hook up. Owner refused to return gate fee, after discovering a math error. Owner needs every dollar even though I paid for the site in full when I checked in. The site I stayed was muddy with other nearby sites harboring debris attracting insects. This place is not worth staying. The only good things were the lake and leaving this tired run down place! - shasta63

Rating: 10 3 10 10 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Loved this campground. Staff was very nice. The pool was nice. The campground is well kept. - silverspoon
We stayed here on memorial day weekend. We were a bit disappointed with the lack of activities for a holiday weekend. My children had a great time with bike decorating and the bike parade but, that was about it. There was a craft activity (bring your own craft), line dancing (about 4 people), and a saturday evening dance (I think the same 4 people there) - That was it! The pool was a bit cloudy and very cold. The temp is understandable but, cleanliness is inexcusable. We stayed in the 70's section. Water and electric services are not located in normal positions. We had to go to Walmart and purchase a 30 amp extension cord to reach. The circuit blew a number of times if running AC and microwave. The beach and lake were OK to look at but, I would not let my kids swim in it, nor did they want to as it was very mucky. Another complaint is that there is only one bathroom at the pool/pavilion area. It also contains a shower. Plan on a long wait if you gotta go. If you do go here, consider the safari field. It looked MUCH better but, community fire pits only. I don't see us returning here. - Grafton MA camper
