Cool campground, but a little loud when its full. Not very secluded sites, more of a family camping vibe with full bathrooms and showers, and some generators running. Thankfully everyone was quiet after 9pm. Otherwise the sites were okay, not much privacy but clean and flat. The pond is nice.

I went Kayakingout on the pond today. It's a great place for someone who's not used to being out on the water. The water is calm, very little current. It's beautiful here as well. There are plenty of picnic tables and grills for a gathering. I will be returning

We enjoyed our experience here. Checked in on a Friday in July and checked out on Sunday. Stayed in a standard non-electric campsite on F-street. Sites in this loop are further away from the pond and shower/washing station, but have trees/vegetation between sites offering more privacy than the sites near the pond. I also found F-street to be quieter. Pros: Big and level campsites with a picnic table and campfire ring and lots of shade. Friendly staff and a nice park office where you can get ice. Access to showers, dish washing station, garbage bins. And you are at most 5 to 15 minutes away from stores. Nice nature trails and proximity to pachaug state forest (we did the mt misery and rhododendron sanctuary trails…excellent). Small cons: I would say that enforcement of the 10pm quiet hours rule is a bit lax. The beach near the shower/washing station is small and the other hopeville pond beach a bit north of it is only a little bigger. This is fine for little kids I suppose. A shower head in the men’s bathroom was broken. Overall, would recommend this place for novice and experience campers alike.

Awesome place to bring my dog; really nice facilities, big wide trails, and the scenery is, of course, just gorgeous. Pack a rod, the fishing looks good, too
