Park just OK. Very pricey for what you get. The sites are very close together so no privacy and the lake is nothing special. The dump station is outdated and blocks traffic leaving the park. - a688218

Rating: 10 10 7 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is the place for you if you want to enjoy a peaceful campsite with good fishing nearby. Our site, #9, was right on the lake. Sites are well spaced and private with plenty of foliage in between. The location feels isolated, but close by are many restaurants and shops. We attended a couple of flea markets the weekend we were there. If you have children, there's not much for them to do (as in the "resort" type campgrounds). We have reserved a weekend in September and look forward to returning here. - poodlecamper
We tent camped here for years, but have returned in our motorhome. Not too many sties for big rigs, but this place is just beautiful. If you like a primitive, lake front site, this is the best. - Doogiesmom
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for White Memorial Foundation Family Campgrounds - Point Folly »Camped at Folly Point which is a peninsula on Bantam Lake. Very attractive area with lots of nature and biking trails plus great fishing. Campground sites have no hookups and has pit toilets that were adequate and clean, as was the entire camping area. There is a camp store nearby but it's only open on weekends early in the season. Camp road is rather rough and very narrow, so I would hesitate to bring a large rig here. (Ours was a small 16 ft trailer). We would camp here again (hopefully next time will be warmer and less windy). - jerry T160

Rating: 3 9 2 7 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Resort? I don't think so. No cable; no sewer; no WiFi - how is that a resort? When I called to book the site I was told that it was the last weekend for camping so the pool and hot tub were closed, there were no activities planned and the store would be closed. We really only wanted a place to park the motorhome while we did some leaf peeping so that didn't matter to us. I was surprised that we were still charged the full summer weekend rate, even when I asked for a discount. The campground looks like it is mostly seasonals and the sites are not kept up very well. Driving to our site seemed like we were driving thru an automotive junkyard. Our fire pit was overflowing with garbage and brush. Truly disappointing experience. - Bonnie66
We first camped here in 2014. There is a lot to do here on the weekends. From Luau's and pig roasts to country hoe downs, carnivals, family dinners, dances and community fires, this place makes you feel at home. I heard all the bad reviews when the prior owners had the place but the new co-op has turned things around and are constantly improving the look and grounds of the campground. They have 2 well maintained pools and a hot tub. Large play space area for the kids, a covered pavilion, and well maintained laundry facilities. The bathrooms are heated and very clean. Free showers with large dressing areas. Everyone we have come across treats you like family. We have had such positive experiences here we are becoming seasonal campers next year here. - Nk1996
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Hemlock Hill Camp Resort »Rate was the highest we paid in 2.5 years of full timing. We expected luxury, but it was substandard. Gravel road into park. Entrance to the park <very> unlevel. Check-in behind the pool, 50’ away from where you stop, and you walk across gravel/dirt/mud. After you register, you have to go forward, then back up to make a difficult u-turn to get to sites. Very friendly and concerned staff. Few sites for big rigs. Interior roads very tight and full of ruts; we almost bottomed out. A disaster. Wi-Fi was very slow; no cable and only a few TV stations with antenna. 30-amp hookup did not have a circuit breaker, electrical wire tied to trees. Don’t follow GPS; follow directions on website if you <really> want this experience. Weekend we were here was a “backyard carnival,” but they charged for almost everything. Laundry had one washer and one dryer. We will NOT be back. We’d rather stay at a Wal-Mart. - bbonnell

Rating: 7 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This campground is all about the lake, Lake Waramaug. Although no "waterfront" sites, most all sites have a view of the lake (many partially blocked by other campsites, though). Canoe and kayak rentals are available from a private operation on most weekends. Many people bring their own canoe or kayak. A smallish beach is great for kids. Sites are not large and maneuvering with a bigger camper can be a little challenging for most sites. Bathrooms were "state park clean", which I thought were fine. Not a lot of showers, each bathroom had one shower. Also, large sinks for washing dishes are at each bathroom building. Water faucets are available at a few spots providing fresh water, and you can fill a camper tank from them (but you can't stay hooked up). This is a good campground for families wanting a little bit "rustic" while tenting but still have some facilities (like bathrooms). Staff is polite, helpful, and outgoing. - Tom
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lake Waramaug State Park »This is one of the gems of the Connecticut State Park system. Extremely affordable with a view of the beautiful Lake Waramaug from many sites. Litchfield County has so many great things to see and this Lake is one of them. The campground closed its concession/camp store for 2009 which is a real bummer. You used to be able to get coffee, breakfast and lunch here but no more. The beach is nice and you can walk or bike around the lake. We camped here in a tent and for $13.00 per night this is a true bargain. The sites overlooking the water are prime and book early. The only downside to this State Park are the bathrooms - they are always dirty. The security at the Park does a nice job and they strictly enforce quiet time and no more wood on the fire at 10 p.m. Our family of 5 camped here in a tent with friends and had a blast despite the rain. I would highly recommend this park to folks looking for a get away from it all back to nature camp experience without 40 foot RV's blocking the view. - User889

Rating: 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Black Rock State Park »We spent two nights in site 53, a level large site backed by woods. Overall this park is green, shady, and clean. Nice little lake/beach area with a lifeguard. Staff are friendly, nights are quiet, and the rangers do rounds regularly. Unfortunately we won't be back because unlike 85% of US State Parks and 100% of US National Parks, CT state parks are NOT pet friendly, and we are unable to leave our dog home alone. Otherwise we'd be here for multiple stays. The rate is a state-resident rate. - poodlecamper

View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Branch Brook Campground »We have stayed at multiple campgrounds thru the years and by far this has been the best yet! We will definitely come back and visit this one again! All the campground workers were more then generous, understanding and helpful no matter the situation. Overall the park is extremely clean (despite some negative review this campgrounds is regularly mowing and weed eated along with a litter free environment). The park includes clean, maintained laundry and bathroom facilities, a spacious pool area with plenty of lounge areas and pavilion area for friends and family to congregate and socialize in. There is a family game room for fun! They have a creek running along side of the campgrounds for fishing fun. My favorite thing is the campground's community garden. Each site is very roomy and has it's on bonfire pit for relaxing evenings to share time with your family, friends and fellow camping neighbors. The park is animal friendly as well which is a big plus! We would definitely recommend this campground for families and friends to visit when stopping thru Thomaston, CT! - ConnieRaeW74

Rating: 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Housatonic Meadows State Park »Nice State Park with excellent (water front) access to the Housatonic River. Also has a few "rustic cabins" for $50 a night available, on excellent water front sites. Not "big rig" friendly, some areas (especially sites along the river) have a lot of trees that can make maneuvering difficult. Sites up by camp office are a little easier for RVs to get into. Campsites in general are pretty good size. There are supposed to be a couple water faucets available where I believe you can fill a water tank, but we didn't see them. Camp staff told us a dump station is available, but off site, and we didn't see it as we didn't need it. Camp staff are polite, friendly, and helpful. Bathrooms are "state park clean", and the bathroom buildings have one shower each in them. Bathrooms also have a couple large sinks for cleaning dishes. Great campground for semi-rustic camping. Lots of fishermen and the river has great fishing. Also, just down the road is access to the Appalachian Trail, with a neat, quick loop hike - Pine Knob Loop Trail, about 2.5 hour hike with some climbing. - Tom

Rating: 2 1 1 3 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Very dirty, the pool isn't open from viruses in water. Creepy neighbors, trashy, it's more like a very nasty trailer park. Took an hour to back into our spot! Our camper was the nicest there. Barley big enough for our camper. We would not have chosen to stay here but the rest of the campground were about closed for the year. We've seriously thought about traveling all the way back home 16 hours to take back our camper and stay in a hotel here..that's bad. Not A very nice town either. There is quite a few playgrounds here but they are very old, falling apart and very dirty. I would not recommend this campground. - M holmea
I've never posted a negative review ever but I would be remiss if I didn't post that my husband and I would not recommend or return to this place. The memories of camping here are not positive. The topography is NOT travel trailer friendly AT ALL. I have a teardrop trailer and had difficulty navigating to our site. The owner are very nice. Many of the campers appeared to be intoxicated and seemed irresponsible. The views are of dumpy dilapidated trailers -- ownership has not taken pride in it's upkeep. Lawns have knee high grass, debris from former seasonals still there, platform "patios" with missing and rotten boarding. I would not suggest this place even at $10/night. We paid $45/night. We will never choose a camping site without checking reviews first. - dneilson2
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Gentile's Campground »Called ahead for reservation. Told them the size of our motorhome. Told no problem with full hookup. Got there, and we were "too tall" to get up the hill for full hookup. Because of low hanging power lines had to stay in no sewer site. Campground is terrible. We bent our tail pipe coming in due to driveway not graded or kept in good condition. They wanted to charge $5 per person to visit. My family was coming for dinner. Guests are not allowed to use the pool, so why the charge? Probably because of the low life looking, permanent campers at the campground. Lots of aggressive dogs tied up outside of old, run down, dirty campers. This was absolutely the worst campground we have ever been in. Please take my advice and don't camp here. I only used this campground because it was the closest to my relatives. Next time, I'll drive 50 miles if I have to in order to not stay here! - jenbeau1

Rating: 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Macedonia Brook State Park »This is a great, small, unimproved campground. I am rating it an "8" because it was clean, quiet, and a great location. This is a Rustic campground. No electric hookups, no sewer, no water spigots for filling camper tanks, and No dump station. There are a couple water "pumps" available. You really do have to crank the hand pump up and down to get water. The pit toilets, otherwise known as outhouses, are surprisingly clean. But they are still outhouses. Probably most of the campsites are tent only. I checked "not big rig friendly" because the entrance road is tight in spots, and some of the campsites are difficult to get into and are not really level. Okay, after all that, this is a beautiful, heavily wooded state park in a beautiful area of Connecticut (Litchfield County). The campsites are large and well spaced in small loops along the Macedonia brook. Our campsite (site 47) was clean, with a large fire ring that had been cleaned out. Our site was not level and when we backed in our trailer it was facing the wrong way, but that did not detract at all from our experience. It was not crowded at all when we were here, and very quiet. The hiking trails are not very long, but a few of them are surprisingly challenging. If you are not in good shape for climbing you may want to check with the Rangers about which trails to hike. The views at the top of the Macedonia trail are great, and worth the hike. There is a lot to see in the surrounding area, including a covered bridge, Kent Falls State Park, museums, and much more within an easy drive. As long as you understand the rustic type of campground this is, it is a great place for a quiet camping trip in the woods. - Tom

Rating: 7 6 8 7 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The office/store is huge and well stocked and the check-in process went smoothly. We were here in the beginning of October, when the amusement park was closed, so there may have been a dozen other RV's in the entire campground. The site was fine, gravel and some grass, and water and electric worked as they should. It was cooler in the evening, so we had the windows closed, but as others mentioned there is a trash/recycling plant just over the hill with fans or some type of machinery constantly droning 24 hours a day. If we were sleeping with the windows open, the noise could have been a problem, as I'm a light sleeper. I was satisfied with the $30 rate we paid for one night as we were just passing through, but "in season" when the park is open and in full swing which I would have not used, I would have been grumbling about paying any more than that. If passing through on I-84 again in the off-season, I would consider staying here again for one night. - Love To Travel 2
When looking at RV Park reviews it was checked that this park had sewer. It does not, also the cable TV is of such poor quality it is not view able. The CG is clean and roomy enough and the check n process was very nice. There is a very loud noise coming from what seems to be a landfill or dump site right across from the campground. We were only staying over night, and chose this campground only due to travel distance to our next site. - quilt lady
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Bear Creek Campground »We stayed at Bear Creek on our trek north to Maine and again as we headed home. It is just off of I-84 in CT. It is confusing to find as it sits next to an amusement park. If you follow signs to the park the campground entrance is down a dirt road just before and to the left of the ticket booths. - LAFinn
