Weekend Trip to Holiday Hill

A group of us wanted to do a camping trip somewhere that had privacy but wasn’t too in the wild. This was the perfect place! Great set up and wood being supplied was HUGE.

3 nights at Holiday Hill

I don't usually pay as much as I did for a dry site, and before I got there I had some misgivings about the cost, however once I arrived, settled in and got to meet Jesse and some of the staff and learn about the camp and their mission as well as explored the offerings in the area, I had no regrets. Staff was extremely welcoming. The site itself is basic. I have a 14 ft trailer, about 8 ft wide & it fit in well between two trees and required no leveling. A larger rig would fit, however I can't say if it would be level for you and might be a tight fit. The camp road does pass directly in front of the site. The camp was not open, however maintenance staff did begin to arrive & there was traffic during the day. Therefore, depending upon the time you're here, there could be much more activity. However, if you enjoy hiking, biking or paddling, you won't be there much, so it will not matter! You can walk across the street and hike the Natchaug Reservation, where there are miles of beautiful trails! Just a couple of miles down the road there is Mansfield Hollow State Park and dam, which has AMAZING hiking trails, a beautiful 500 acre lake and paved trails to the dam should you prefer that type of stroll. The area is absolutely beautiful! The campsite was extremely quiet at night. You will hear light traffic noise during the day, however at night it disappears. If you are a tent camper, the lean-to site is awesome! It's set up on the hill in the back, private and just a great site.

The beautiful water along with the peace and tranquility were all amazing

Weekend Trip to Holiday Hill

A beautiful, quiet campsite. I would definitely stay again. Jesse was very communicative and provided all the info I needed for my stay.

Weekend Trip to Holiday Hill

We loved the lean-to site. Lean-tos were clean and dry. The site has 2 picnic tables, a big fire ring, more than enough firewood and even a trash can, which was very convenient. We checked out the grounds and did a nice loop hike at Wolf Rock nearby. Jesse was very responsive, directions were clear and we will defintely come back if we have the chance.

1 night at SimplePrivateNaturalwEpicFirepit

Absolutely beautiful & spacious yard. I decided to go a little past the main yard beyond the historic looking stone walls and into the forested area for a hammock camp. It truly felt like a secluded spot out in the wild woods. I saw a deer and heard the cries of distant coyotes calling to each other. I loved every moment and will definitely be booking again in the future for a tent campout or a car camp… or both 😃

1 night at Humble Farm with Simplicity

We spent the night there during a snow storm and Mary and Victor were so kind and helpful with everything! Super accommodating, we had a great stay there and would definitely stay here again !

Weekend Trip to Holiday Hill

This was my first time using Hipcamp, and it was a great experience. Jesse, our host, was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. The site was exactly as described and shown in the photos. I stayed at the amphitheater location, which worked perfectly for my van camping setup. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful. I’d happily stay here again.

4 nights at Holiday Hill

We enjoyed car camping here! The area was peaceful and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again given the chance.

4 nights at Peconic River Campgrounds

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

We had a great weekend winter camping trip! Came out to try our winter gear for the first time on the coldest day of the year so far and had great success! 10/10 would recommend and come back again.

5 nights at SimplePrivateNaturalwEpicFirepit

This spot was great for our adventures! My husband had a work conference at New London and my son and I came along for the adventure. This site was under 30 mins from the base and train station making it a great central location. We were able to visit mystic Connecticut (less than 20 mins) Newport RI (1 hour) and Boston (1.5 hours driving and commuter train/ almost 2 hours the day we were dropped off at Amtrak in new London). Hosts were amazing, 30 amp was reliable. Spot had minimal road noise. The coyotes may serenade you at evening, this is just the joy of Connecticut and proves just how private this spot can be. Highly recommend.

2 nights at Humble Farm with Simplicity

Mary and Victor's farm was very enjoyable. We had lots of room and privacy. Victor was very helpful and an excellent host. We unfortunately did not get to meet Mary, however she handled our reservation well and answered all our questions ahead of our visit. We would recommend staying there.

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 :)
