The Sandbox Campground

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents12 acres · Groton, CT
The Sandbox campground was born from The Sandbox Indoor Beach Sports and Events facility, which mainly focuses on providing year round beach volleyball. We bought the property in 2015 and opened the facility in 2019. As it happens, it's a 12+ acre lot surrounded by wetlands, hiking and biking trails ... there will never be another building built within view of our facility. We are surrounded by nature, and will be forever. So what a great opportunity to offer camping and access to all of the forests, woodlands, wetlands and trails around! And if you're up for it, come play some beach volleyball and meet new lifelong friends :)

Cedar Valley Heritage Farm

2 sites · RVs7 acres · Exeter, RI
Welcome to Cedar Valley Heritage Farm, a captivating property where nature and history intertwine. We have carefully transformed an empty hayfield into a flourishing haven inspired by Jean Martin's market garden principles. Here, you'll discover pastured laying hens and broiler chickens, along with American Guinea hogs, fostering a sustainable and harmonious ecosystem. Delight in the aromatic herbs that grace our gardens, while vibrant tulips paint the landscape with splashes of color during the spring. In the fall, the Saffron crocus sativus reveals its precious saffron spice-producing bulbs, adding a touch of exotic beauty to the surroundings. As you explore Cedar Valley Heritage Farm, you'll encounter an iconic mortise and tenon post and beam barn, steeped in the rich history of the early 1900s. Its sturdy construction stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Immerse yourself in the charm of our farm, where heritage, sustainability, and natural beauty coexist. Join us on this remarkable journey as we nurture the land, preserve traditions, and invite you to experience the unique blend of history and nature at Cedar Valley Heritage Farm.
