We visited this campground in search of a seasonal camp site. This place was an absolute dump. The majority of the sites (near the lake) had rotting campers with built-in porches which were also falling apart. The sites off the lake were not much better because it looked like a beat=up trailer park. The grounds are unkept, the bathrooms where old and dirty and the entire campground only offers water and electric. You have to pay for a honey wagon to dump your tanks. We spoke with a current seasonal camper and they reported the electricity frequently short circuits when 2 campers on the same line run their AC units at that same time. I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt because not all people provide accurate information however, most of the poorly scored comments are true. I wouldn't even waste your time at this campground unless you have minimal to no standards for a campground. To top it all off the person running the office could not offer any information about the campground itself.

We really love it here. It is a no frills campground, yet has everything you need. The cost of a seasonal site is so affordable. They mow for you as well. Everyone is respectful & quite when they need to be. The owners are easy to approach. People have stayed for years upon years here. They pool is kept clean although you might get an occasional mouthy kiddo. Where don't you really?

If I could put less than one star I would. Do not come here. It is a dump. The campers look like they have been here since 1970. Shacks built next to them are falling apart with tarps covering them. People are rude...music blaring, dogs barking excessively, burning plastic and trash, etc. The pool area had music playing with nasty language not suitable for families. The lake is a field. Shall I go on???? Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

It’s a dump. Looks like the place would be infested with bugs. Old RVs with tarps on top, roofs caved in, and wooden “porches.” They look abandoned. A lot of Cats are running around. We booked a long term stay in advanced and had to pay a down payment. When we got there the young girl working the desk couldn’t find our payment and we had to wait for the owners. She was very apologetic and sweet. Then when we went to our spot someone else was parked there and we had to wait on the owners again. The place looked run down and trash was everywhere. We left about an hour after checking in. Do a drive through before you book. Unfortunately we couldn’t being that we lived over 10 hours away. I don’t understand how or why they would let their place look that bad.

Not a very inviting campground. Loud cars up until around 10:30 pm and a group of guys (10 total maybe more) having fun. But woke us up at 6:30 am hardly got any sleep

We have been to many very expensive campgrounds in Rhode island, Massachusetts and Connecticut and this one is the best by far .They have many activities for the kids, teens ,and adults. They have a beautiful pool and lake for fishing.The campground is beautiful and if you are a true camper and like that good old camping look you will love it here .but most of all the campers and the owners and management are the most kindest friendly down to earth people I have ever met at a campground there always right there to help if you need it :) we have been here a week and we love it :)
