No matter who has run this place it has always been kept clean and well maintained. Bathrooms can be an issue. Sometimes there are no restrooms. I have noticed a single outhouse there when siog was officially open. That would be my only complaint about this place is lack of bathroom facilities. The short hiking trail through the woods is lovely! You pass a swamp where you can observe wildlife. Lots a birds to watch. Bluebirds can be seen in the open areas and field there. I've seen rare species of turtles there. The beach is always nicely combed and maintained. There are geese there and they do leave land mines behind but I have seen staff attempt to clean it up too. They have picnic tables and pedestal type grills there too! You can go there any time of year but they are closed just like any other government run park in the off season. People are careful with their trash here for the most part. If they are closed , you can park on the road or the very limited parking spaces just before the gate with an easy walk in on the dirt road. I do have to warn you though. Once the weather warms up, the newly hatched northern water snakes do like to hang out in the dirt road going into the park. So use caution when walking. They can be grumpy little boogers. It's not uncommon to see a few dead ones there too from people driving in and out. Some of the animals/creatures we have seen here: beaver, mallard ducks, wood ducks, Canadian geese, buffing head ducks, crows, ravens, bluebirds, red wing black birds and other various birds, bass, pickerel, sun fish and kiver, catfish, northern water snakes, great blue heron, a very special and rare species of turtle that I will not name, snapping turtle, painted turtle, red ear slider and more. Noted: several different species of mushrooms and other different fungi. Blueberry bushes and clethera shrubs. Wild strawberry plants in the field. Tasty snacks in the springs and summer.

The Lake/Pond is frequented by fishermen, canoeists, and kayakers. It's easily paddled along the circumference, just watch for a few shallow stones and stumps. The entire body of water covers approximately 420 acres. There are three sections, North, Middle, South. North to Middle requires a short portage across a narrow bridge. Middle to South is passable below a Route 20 over pass. The South section leads further to the South on the River Trail. We usually park on the North side of Route 20 at a public boat launch and cast off into the Middle Section.

When we bought our new motor home, the RV salesman threw in a free one year membership to thousand…read moretrails, so this was our first experience with an affiliate campground. The location is not too bad, considering it is just a mile off the highway and surprisingly you can barely hear highway 84. We arrived somewhat late on a Friday night, about 8 pm for a planned 2 night weekend visit. It appears the owners spent a lot of time on the entrance, signage and a guard house, but that is where much of their spending seemed to stop. Although our experience with the staff in general was pleasant, our first impressions almost made us turnaround. As we pulled up, we were asked if we had been here before and when we said no, a loud audible sigh and head shaking ensued, directions were given and another sigh when we asked for a map. This is not really the greeting I would imagine was envisioned by the owners when weary travelers arrive at your campground. One of the very odd things about this place is their reservation system or lack there of. Although we made reservations on their website, the staff member literally brushed it away when I handed it to her and only wanted our membership card. It continues to get more bizarre as the staff has absolutely no idea what camp sites are open and which ones are occupied. Therefore, with my newly acquired map, in the dark and not knowing who occupies what site, my wife and I slowly traveled the campground staring out the window for an open camp site, hoping that we found one, which we eventually did without the aid of any staff member. The site itself was pretty good and overlooking the pond, in comparison to the ones that were stacked together in the open field area, which nearly caused me to just turn around and head up to Jelly-stone or the nearest Walmart. I am glad we didn't because it turned out to be a great weekend and great weather. The campground is only 4 or 5 miles from Old Sturbridge Village and we took advantage of that by riding our bikes to see the museum. We will likely not return to the site due to the lack of a true reservation system and the way each site is stacked on top of one another. It is just too much of a gamble on getting a crappy site, when you are traveling long distance.
