I’ll keep this short here, this campsite was really special. The staff was bright and inviting. They really felt like they wanted to make sure our stay was a great one. Everyone we interacted with was top notch. Typically in our travels to camp sites we run into employees that are tired or burnt out. Not here. They were warm and inviting. Clean bathrooms, hot showers, great amenities and a great trip.

Sturbridge is really a great place with lots of natural beauty and hikes to do as well as great restaurants. The campground itself is very clean and nice. It's pretty small. The staff is really great every year!

Overall experience was good, staff were great. The cottage I booked though was just okay, hot water seemed very limited which is whatever I didn’t expect a 5 star hotel bathroom, however it did have a very big ant problem. The pool building was completely closed off too which was a big bummer because the “beach area” water did not look clean at all so we could not swim.

Smaller campground. It was very well kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a playground here that is very nice and maintained. There are amenities close by that offer an array of opportunities to guests. We can't wait to be in the area so that we can stay here again. Definitely enjoyed our stay.
