We have stayed here a few times. The campground is on the smaller side but in a good way. If you are looking for a big pool and a lot of activities then this is not your place but if you enjoy relaxing next to a river this is it. In part because there is not a pool, we like coming in the spring or fall. The owner, Phil is exceptionally kind and easy going. He makes you feel welcome and always has a smile. This is a hidden gem. Here are a couple pictures. The first with the firepit was our site.

The owner is one of the best and friendliest that we have come across in a long time. He made time to answer questions and always checked in on campers to make sure all was good. We enjoyed a relaxing weekend by the river!

The campground is not maintained nor updated. The owner is accomatating, but he needs to make some upgrades to the facility. He is charging $75 a night, which is steep for a no frills campground. We stayed at at a gorgeous campground in Hadley's Point, Maine for only $65 a night with incredible amenities.

Peppertree is a small but beautiful little campground on the Natchaug River. The owner is extremely helpful. The first time we camped there we were right on the river. My husband enjoyed fly fishing. The second time we camped there we weren't on the river, but we were close. However, there are several spots for easy access along the river. And we could still hear the river which makes for great sleep sounds. We will definitely be back again.

What a great Family campground! We had a site right on the river. The “marriage saver” was awesome helping us back in. The site was very spacious. They had a bunch of activities including a duck race. My son loved the ice cream social. We would recommend to family and friends. About 3 days after our trip we received a hand written note in the mail from the owners. That was a great touch.
