Rating: 9 5 5 8 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Campground was closed for over a year. Upgrades have been made to field area. New fire pits and grills. Staff was very friendly. Pool was awesome for kiddos. As was the river. Movies on Saturday nights. - stanner17
We stopped here for a couple of nights on our way to Maine. We found this campground a little pricy for what we paid for. We only had an electric/water hook up so the expensive price was without sewer. Our site was on a small hill and took a lot to get it level and didn't achieve a full level. When looking at the map of the sites and you choose your site to reserve you don't realize how unlevel some of the sites are. There were some full hook up sites that looked to be in a field with no shade. The bathrooms were some of the worse bathrooms we have used in all our years of camping. The stalls were small, dirty, and no adjusting your water temperature there was only one temperature. The park did have some nice trails to hike and we found railroad tracks with a tunnel leading underneath the tracks that led to a river. The dump is just like the last reviewer said it's up a large hill that seemed even larger coming down and you're dragging the end of the trailer coming off the hill onto another hill to get out of there. Probably won't return to this park and will find another place to stay if ever come back to this area. - alnal90
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Salt Rock Campground State Park »This is a decent CT state park campground. The site was spacious and wooded with pretty good privacy. It had a large stone fire ring and a picnic table. The bathrooms were usable but could use a thorough cleaning and fresh paint. Also, the bathrooms had no soap and the sinks were cold water only. The dump station is positioned on top of a hill behind the dumpsters and the road is sloped AWAY from the dump pit, so make sure to bring some boards to raise the low side. There is a small playground and there are two small pools, one that goes to 7 feet deep and a 3-foot deep kiddie pool. The sign on the fence said “Pool Hours 10-4”, we got in the kiddie pool at 2:30 (the big pool was closed and had a cover on it???) and were informed that the pool would be closing at 3:00. I told him that the sign said 4:00, he said on Sundays it closes at 3:00. ??? The campground is bordered by a river that didn’t look very inviting for swimming or fishing, but there was a nice foot path that followed the river. This campground has great potential. If you walk around the outskirts of the campground, you can see a lot of sites that still have the water spigots, electrical boxes and fire rings(some even have concrete pads)that were never renovated, so the are just sitting there overgrown and unused. My biggest complaints with this campground are #1: Radio noise, all types of music can be heard from other sites from 8 AM until well past midnight. Which leads to #2: Lack of any type of rule enforcement by the staff (a group of high school/college aged kids). Only 6 people per site? Yeah right; the site next to us had 4 tents and an EZ-UP with 8-10 people on it. Quiet hours? Yeah right; it’s a radio free-for-all any time of day. Not sure if we will return. - JJZS

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: 7 4 5 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Lots of rain this spring to start our camping season at Nickerson Park. This year we stayed in a different area of the park and unfortunately our site & area is at one of the lower points of the campground as there were lots of ruts and I thought more could be done to improve the drainage. Our hookups were in good working order. Good seasonal presence here, some seasonal campers were showing some age. Bathrooms/showers were clean. Staff was professional and friendly. We did not try the WiFi but we had a good signal on our Verizon cell phone. Geography at campground is level with open and shaded areas. Entrance road to the campground is unattractive. We enjoyed this campground and would return. - mdcamping
This may have been a nice campground at one time, but it has become run down over time. Almost half of the sites are seasonal and about half of them are starting to look like trash heaps. The riverside sites are hard to back into because they have rocks and logs on the side of the road which limits your ability to turn. We got our 30-foot trailer in eventually, but I don't think a longer trailer would fit. The wifi is super slow (unusable) and we had a weak TMobile signal. We had an area of clear sky so no problem pointing our satellite dish. The staff here are really friendly, but there is definitely a communications problem. We received a call before we arrived telling us they had to shut off the water to some of the sites due to cold weather and they were going to move us to another site. We were also told that the water might be shut off to all sites at night if it was going to get below freezing. No problem. We could fill our fresh water tank and use it at night. When we arrived we found they had moved us only 3 sites down (on the same water line) and were told the water was off at all sites and it was staying off. That would have been nice to know that before we arrived. I carry water in my jerrycan across the park for 2 days only to discover the water had been turned back on. To conserve water, I decided to use the camp showers. Big mistake. They are coin operated and the coin machines don't work in some of the showers (which you only find out after losing your money). The showers are not heated (neither are the bathrooms) and once you find one that works, there is no way to control water temperature. The circuit breaker routinely flipped even though we were not using much power. The playground equipment looked old and outdated. They need to trim the low hanging tree limbs. We watched campers crack limbs when trying to drive to their site. The campground is badly in need of maintenance. If you have a choice, I'd recommend you stay somewhere else. - Chuck Shrader
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Nickerson Park Family Campground »If I focus on the scenery surrounding this campground, the steep, rocky hills, the babbling brook, the woodland just receiving spring's first touch, then I can say that this was a good week. If I think about the specifics of my site and experience, I come to a different conclusion. When I arrived, no one was there to check me in or point me to a camp site. After half an hour, a staff member, friendly but without authority to made decisions, was able call the manager, who pointed me to a site. It was a back-in, not the pull-through I had arranged, and it was right across the lane from a dumpster, so I had to set up in a cloud of fresh spring flies. The site was nice and wide, and I backed in with little trouble, but the surface was soft and muddy with recent rains. The manager did call on me later to apologize, but it took a third contact to actually get the receipt I asked for. I had earlier posted the address of the park to Netflix, in order to receive DVDs from my queue. They discouraged that address, due to past frequent returns of shipments, so I decided to do without Netflix DVDs for a week. The upshot is that the park suffers from weak management. There seems to be a lot of work going on in the park, but what happens in the office is slipshod. My site had full hookups, though the water pressure was low. The rocky hills interfered with cellular service, so my wifi was weak, but still good enough to stream movies through my Apple TV. Despite the management issues, I had a reasonably good week at Nickerson Farm Family Campground, though I would look elsewhere before going back. - Jim Fulton

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

This is a really nice park, with old growth trees and well maintained sites and property. First time back in about seven years and we weren't disappointed. We camped for a Halloween weekend, the events, check in, and rides were all well organized. Look forward to our next visit. - Nausett

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

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

We were the last group of campers for the year, as they close the day after Columbus day each year. We pull a 40' fifth wheel. Some of the sites can't accommodate really large rigs. Our back-in site was quite suitable. - dave398rls
We camped here in a fairly large group (7 families) for the Fourth of July, and the campground was completely full! The seasonal folks were extremely friendly! Some in our group had riverside sites and they did a great job keeping our group as close together as possible. Wish there was a bit more grass in the shady sites and that the electrical was more stable. We consistently had brown-outs and lost power several times. All in all, the group decided we would stay here again! - JBaird
