River Bend Campground

88 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites, 4 Tiny Houses

River Bend Campground in Sterling, Connecticut, offers 88 RV sites, 14 cabin and tiny house units, and eight tent sites on the Moosup River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Full-hookup categories at both amperages join water-and-electric RV and tent tiers, with an outdoor pool, mini-golf, beach, and gem mining. Eighty-eight sites span full hookup 30-amp, full hookup 30/50-amp, water-and-electric 20-amp RV, water-and-electric 20-amp tent, and water-and-electric 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site, and note the 40-foot cap. Fourteen cabins and tiny houses and eight tent sites round out the lodging. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and a snack bar handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and river beach anchor the summer, with the Moosup carrying fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. Mini-golf, gem mining, an arcade, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, a playground, pavilion, food trucks, and picnicking fill the rest, with DJ dances, bingo, horseshoes, and cornhole tournaments on the weekend calendar. The address is 41 Pond Street in Oneco, in the Quiet Corner of northeastern Connecticut — mill villages, stone walls, and hardwood forest, close to Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, Providence, and the shoreline. Summer is the season. Reserve well ahead.

Gibson Hill RV Park

Gibson Hill RV Park in Sterling, Connecticut, offers 67 full-hookup back-in RV sites in the state's Quiet Corner, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Deluxe, standard, and basic RV/tent categories join an outdoor pool, mini-golf, recreation center, and community fire pit. Sixty-seven back-in sites run in basic RV/tent, standard RV, and deluxe RV categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet. One policy to check before booking: RVs are required to be in good condition, which generally means manufactured within the past 10 years, and older rigs need to be cleared with the park in advance. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, a recreation center, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a playground, community fire pit, and dog park filling the grounds. A pond and creek support fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking, with walking trails, hiking, and picnicking besides. Live music runs through the season, and a state park and casino are nearby. Pets are welcome. Connecticut's Quiet Corner earns the name — mill villages, stone walls, and hardwood forest in the northeastern corner of the state, the Connecticut that existed before the commuter suburbs. It still feels that way, and it is surprisingly close to Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, Providence, and the shoreline. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve ahead, and confirm your RV meets the age requirement.

Hopeville Hideaway RV Park and Campground

71 RV Sites, 1 Tiny House

Hopeville Hideaway RV Park and Campground in Griswold, Connecticut, offers 71 RV sites and a tiny house directly on Hopeville Pond, with 20 and 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 46 feet. Premium forest view water-and-electric sites join premium full-hookup categories, surrounded on three sides by Pachaug State Forest. Seventy-one sites run in premium forest view water-and-electric and premium full-hookup categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 20 and 30-amp, sized to 46 feet, with fire pits and site WiFi. Note the amp range — there is no 50-amp service here, which is worth confirming if you run high-draw appliances. A tiny house rounds out the accommodations. Pets are welcome. The pond is the centerpiece, with swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking from the water and mountain biking on the surrounding forest trails. Sports courts and basketball fill the grounds. The campground's immediate pond access and forest perimeter give it a genuine backcountry feel that its southern New England location does not suggest. Pachaug State Forest is Connecticut's largest at 27,000 acres, and it wraps the campground on three sides. This is the Quinebaug River watershed of the Quiet Corner — a rural region of northeastern Connecticut where the density and noise of the I-95 coastal corridor feel considerably farther away than the hour's drive that actually separates them. Summer is peak in southern New England, with fall foliage drawing a second wave. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Wawaloam Campground

128 RV Sites

Wawaloam Campground in Richmond, Rhode Island, offers 128 RV sites across roughly 100 wooded acres in South County, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet behind a gated entrance. Categories are named for exactly what they carry — water and electric, water and electric with a pad, water and electric with sewer — alongside a water park, splash pad, mini-golf, and a 287-foot waterslide. One hundred twenty-eight back-in sites span water-and-electric, water-and-electric 30/50-amp, water-and-electric 30/50-amp with pad, water-and-electric 30/50-amp with sewer, and Safari categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Describing each category by its hookups rather than a marketing tier is refreshingly plain — you know whether you are getting sewer before you book. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and a snack bar handle the practical side. A water park, splash pad, and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with the signature 287-foot waterslide as the centerpiece. Mini-golf, a recreation center, craft room, ball field, basketball, a pond, playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest, with fishing, swimming, and planned activities through the season. The campground has served families in one of southern New England's quietest corners since the 1960s, and its Good Sam and TripAdvisor ratings reflect a loyal returning base. Newport, the South County beaches, and Mystic are all within reach. Summer is decisively the season in Rhode Island. Reserve well ahead.

The resort sits in Old Mystic, the historic inland village that predates the shoreside tourist town, within biking distance of the Mystic River and a short drive from Mystic Seaport, Mystic Aquarium, and two of the world's largest resort casinos. It keeps the campground feel rather than the parking-lot alternative. Summer is decisively the season in coastal Connecticut. Reserve well ahead.

The country-western theme runs through the property and the programming, which the regulars are here for. Bellingham sits in the gentle rolling country of Norfolk County south of Framingham, about an hour from Boston and within reach of Providence, which makes it a practical base for both cities without staying in either. Summer is the season in New England, with year-round operation serving winter travelers. Reserve well ahead for July and August.
