Rating: 8 4 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stay at this campground with friends who have a seasonal site. The staff is very friendly and always riding around checking on things. We felt very safe and welcome. It has been updated over the last couple of years. Seasonal and visiting campers are pleasant. They put on a fabulous fireworks show this year rivaling many town shows. The activities that we have been to are fun and the food wonderful. Can't wait until next year to go again. - coja96
The 2005 review was right about the seasonal campsites - but unfortunately I didn't read RV Park Reviews before we booked! Many of the sites were not well-kept and the RVs were in disrepair. (I don't mean old, I mean falling apart!) The beach appeared OK but we didn't swim that weekend. The weirdest thing was what happened at night - I don't know where everyone went, but it didn't look like anyone was at their campers (even though many fires were left burning unattended) and we didn't find anyone congregated in common areas when we walked around. The seasonal campers didn't seem as friendly as other campgrounds we've been at. - vermontstergirl

Rating: 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: I have to disagree with much of what the previous poster said. We have stayed here in 2017 (twice) and 2018 (two weeks) in our 35' class A. We love Hopeville! Beautiful wooded park with a large pond suitable for kayaking and fishing. Not sure if gas motors are allowed. We kayaked several times. Also biked out from the park and, while those eastern CT back roads offer no painted shoulder, the traffic was minimal and drivers were cautious. But, back to the campground. There are so many large, level sites that are perfect for motorhomes and trailers. They don't allow anything larger than 35', so ours was as large as they allow. Most sites do NOT have any hookups, so you're boondocking. But, this past sprint they installed water and electricity on about a half dozen sites. Our only issue was that they did not grade the sites very well after installing the hookups. We observed the following: B1 and B3 looked nicely leveled, but were pretty open with B3 in particular being right in front of the restroom with the path running along side the site. Not our cup of tea, but others might be ok with it. B5 was a wide site, but there was a low spot right next to the electric hookups which was one big puddle (there was a lot of rain when we were there), which is obviously where others rigs have parked. B7, our site, is very large, but again the only level place to park was right next to the hookups, and again, it was all mud because it's lower than the rest of the site. We had to park on the hill and use our levelers. Our friend in B9 had a heck of a time finding a level place to park her 28' class c because the fire ring was smack in the middle of the only level spot. Despite this, we love the beauty of this park and will return. I've sent our observations to park management, so maybe they'll regrade the sites, or at least keep grade in mind when they add services in the future. Boondock sites = $17, hookup sites = $27. - Bobalou
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Hopeville Pond State Park »This is really a tenting campground. Very wooded and shady. Although most of the sites are large (surprisingly so) and level (I didn't need any levelers), there are lots of trees and many boulders that block access, or at least make it very difficult, to have a travel trailer or camper here. A smaller Class C might do well here. Out of all the sites, realistically only about six or so are suitable for a travel trailer - campground map does not highlight this. No hookups, and water is not easily available to fill freshwater tank. Bathrooms and showers were "state park clean" - a basic cleaning daily and very usable. If you are tenting and want a surprising amount of privacy, Loop F is the place to be. Large tent sites surrounded by heavy woods. Many sites are near the pond swimming area which is set up nicely, the other sites are not too far away (easy walk). Dump site is odd - very narrow, with a speed bump (??) at the end of it. I guess people were speeding through the dump site? This State Park borders Pachaug State Forest, which has tons of hiking trails available - one forest trail actually comes into Hopeville Pond State Park. Important note about hiking Pachaug State Forest - a lot of the hiking trails are very poorly marked, it is easy to get turned around once you get off the dirt roads. Overall, I am not sure how to rate Hopeville Pond. I only gave it a "7", as it is not RV friendly, but it is a very nice state park! - Tom

Rating: 9 10 6 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We camped in a open field. We had lots of room. Cable and wifi worked well. We have a 40ft. with a tow car. The road to our site was very tricky with turns and no help from office. We had to disconnect the car. - plp1280

View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Ross Hill Park Family Campground »We stayed 4 nights. Sewer location was very awkward--so much so that we ended up using the dump station. Electricity and water location was at the extreme back right corner of the coach. The pad and roads were dirt. Roads were very narrow, bumpy, meandered, and were not lit at night. Streets within the park were not marked with names. I almost drove into the river trying to exit at night. The spaces were quite large. Our car space was so sloped that I couldn't get in on the passenger side. It was heavily forested, so we had no satellite reception, but we did have phone. Hosts were very nice and provided us with good information when asked. They have pre-printed directions to attractions. It was very scenic. - rvnlinda

Rating: 4 5 10 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Such mixed feelings! The park is beautiful as you pull in.... lots of rocks, trees, creek, pond.... but as you approach the office, it looks like a VERY well stocked daycare! In fact, the "office" appears to BE a daycare. And then, if you are there on a weekend you will see why! DOZENS of kids running amuck! Totally unsupervised. We've never seen a place where the kids can just do as they please.... so incredibly dangerous. Between a LOT of vehicles, RV's getting in, bodies of water and dogs... it's a tragedy waiting to happen. We saw some as young as 4 or so walking, running, riding bikes etc with no adults in sight. Our dogs alerted us to them MANY times as they walked right through our site, which had interior road as a boarder on 2 sides. Piles of gravel were under our mat from where the road had been plowed but the gravel was just left there. The sites are primarily dirt so the mat was necessary. The site we were in was only 30 amp... I could've sworn we booked 50 amp, but I must be mistaken. So, we had to alternate heat, microwave etc accordingly. Tough when it's in the 20's at night. But the biggest issue with the site was that the sewer backed up every time we tried to dump. Not fun! We had a neighbor arrive at 10 PM and they had a heck of a time getting into their site. They had to move our picnic table which is fine.... but they left it up against our stairs! Hubby had to climb over it to get out in the morning. Seriously? It's very "permanent resident" heavy.... and apparently they are very lax on rules for keeping sites neat AND for having guests! LOTS of people in and out all day! Overall, this place could be delightful and relaxing..... but currently it's really not. - doggpurr
We chose our site online with a photo. It was an end site, near the stream and pond. Looked lovely. Grey water only on this site. Some sites have sewer connections. What the photo didn't show is that the site is right next to the backside of the office/house and their activities room (maybe 40' away). I called and inquired about how close the snack bar was to our site, never thinking I should ask how close every other building is. Our view was facing the back of a plywood building. Night #1 we listened to every BINGO number called, every BINGO won and all the chatter until 10pm. In the morning we had kids driving their bikes through our site and having near crashes with our picnic table. We moved our truck for privacy and to make a defining line to our site. The truck wasn't quite long enough to block the heap of old tractors and junk piled up near a small pavillion behind the building. We did get to watch kids hit rocks at each other with ping pong paddles to the point in which we told them to knock it off and move along. Night #2 we endured two hours of karaoke while trying to enjoy our campfire, just feet away. In our opinion, they need to re-think that site. Perhaps eliminate it all together, or, at least, put additional fencing and plantings on the pavillion side to define the site and add a bit of privacy for folks. I will say that this campground had tons of activities for young families to take advantage of. The pool looked nice and clean, we didn't have the opportunity to use it. The owners were in the office and pleasant when we bought firewood. We didn't see any other staff out and about. We didn't use their showers, they were too far away. In their defense, we didn't complain. We were already unhooked and set up and they were pretty much sold out. However, we would have made arrangements to stay elsewhere had we had accurate information when booking the site. We know they are fairly new owners (4 years I was told) and wish them success, but we'll try somewhere else next time. - BDD

Rating: 10 1 7 9 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Park is very scenic with canopy of trees, pond, pool, assorted buildings, clean, and excellent customer service. Large percentage of seasonal campers but very quiet and well kept. Roads are all maintained dirt. Our campsite was open, grass and dirt, level with 30 + 50 amp service, fire pit, and a picnic table. There were trees all thru the campground but the site we chose was open up on a hill but so we were easily able to get satellite service. They escort you to your campsite. We had planned to stay 2 days, but such a nice campround and area, we stayed for a week. This is a destination campground. We travel across the US and visit many different campgrounds, we would definitely stay here again. - don-marg
When it rains outside, I expect a bit of a mess. What I don't expect is to be ankle-deep in mud to the point that I lost a shoe. I don't know about all the areas in this campground, but where we were in 107A, there was nothing but dirt that turned into mud. No gravel, no pavement. Our rig is covered in mud to the likes that I've never seen before. And inside was worse. I put down two bath mats to try and contain the mud but I still ended up on my hands and knees, scrubbing the floor. We've ended up in a campground in Maine that will allow us to wash the rig. It will take a pressure washer and heavy brush to get rid of this mud. In addition, the campground was filled with seasonals. I have no problem with seasonal campers. But I do have a problem when my view out my back window was a mobile home with a mattress and several pallets sitting out in the yard, along with other debris. Everywhere we looked was trashed. The campground is old but there is no excuse for this kind of disrepair. Not for the amount of money we were paying. Sorry, but fun activities for the kids don't make up for an old run down and dirty campground. We left four days early. This was truly the worst campground we've ever been at. The site was also not wide enough. Our slide out was against a tree. I got no help from staff. - Our Simple Life

Rating: 10 5 2 5 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a large campground in CT. We have been coming here for many years. It is a very family-oriented park with may activities for children and adults. The sites are fairly large, 3 large pools, softball field, disc golf, etc. There is an on-site cap store, creamery/luncheonette & rec center. They have numerous festivals here (i.e. Bluegrass & Cajun Music festivals). It is near Foxwood & Mohegan Sun Casinos, and other area attractions. We had a lot of fun here & plan to return for the Cajun Music & Food Festival here on June 6 -9. - Sharp Dressed Man
Park was OK at best. Was supposed to have a 50 amp site, they put us in a 30. Power surges all weekend. Park was very noisy, lots of barking dogs. Rented a golf cart, which died after a short trip to the pool. Maintenance staff told us we should have charged it (it had just been picked up). Plugged it in for several hours, died again. We were told we didn't charge it correctly. After Maintenance plugged it in and it charged over night - still not charged. We brought it back for a refund. This is not a campground that we would be back to. Way overpriced for something that is just OK. - rmbmrm

We don't have Sat. So wasn't a problem. 2 washers, 2 dryers. We would stay here again. - Deb/Ran
Oh my! What a beautiful RV park. After 6 weeks at the busy beaches of southern Maine, what a treat it was to stay at this wonderful park. This park is so meticulously maintained. It is so well laid out. No rows of campers here. It is laid out like a housing development in the woods. Huge spaces between our neighbors. Quiet, peaceful, and gorgeous. It was about a 20 minute trip to anywhere. We visited both casinos while here. We visited Mystic & Westerly. WiFi was excellent until the weekend folks arrived; iffy after that. - Arizona Nancy
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Countryside RV Park »This is definitely one of the better maintained campgrounds we have stayed at. Jim and Lin really care about the grounds as owners and it shows. The site itself was more than large enough for our 35' fifth wheel and truck. There was no grass at the site, but plenty just down the road for walking the dogs. Even though we stayed over Labor Day weekend, we had very few campers around us, making for a very quiet stay. The utilities were great and wifi was solid, no cable but we picked up the local channels over our antenna. Verizon cell coverage was fine. The laundry had two washers and two dryers, at $1.75 each. It is about a 20 minute drive to Mystic, but aside from that, there is nothing immediately around the campground. If you're looking for a nice quiet campground to spend some time, this is for you. - pfogleboch

Rating: 9 2 2 1 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We camped over the Labor Day holiday. The park appears to have made some major upgrades to the showers and rest rooms as all were either recently remodeled or brand new. Everything was clean and stocked. The park was full for the holiday weekend and there was entertainment throughout the weekend. Our neighbor had an electrical issue with their RV and the staff was eager to assist with his issue. We had a little problem pulling into our pull through site as our 33' 5th wheel was a bit too long to make the turn in. We backed in from the other side without issue. The woman in the office was nice and friendly. The Saturday night bingo game was very well attended and the grand prize was over $1000. We had a great time. We will stay again next season. - Thomas Beau
There is some potential here. Unfortunately, a very, VERY rude host (Pete) and extremely dirty restrooms made for a terrible stay. We made the most of it because it was a mini-family reunion and coordinating new reservations for so many people after the first day was not possible. However, we will never be back. My advice to the owners/hosts: Retrain Pete on customer service and clean up the place if you are going to charge people. My advice to future guests: go elsewhere. - RoadFam
