I will go back before the end of 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.

Very beautiful area. After a brief safety video and briefing, we were given our rafting kit, loaded on buses, and brought up river to the raft slip, this was about a 30 minute trip north west. The raft trip ended across the street from where we started. An easy exit, we got out of the boat, returned our kit, and walked across the road to watch the video, and purchase souvenir photographs. We had an excellent day on the river during our 10 mile trip. My 14 year old son and I did the Zoar Gap trip which took most of the day with an hour break for lunch at a nice riverside picnic ground in the mountains. You can bring your own food( appropriately packaged) if you would like. They store it in a water proof bag and stow it on the raft. If there is even a hint of rain or you just don't want to get completely soaked, bring a three season jacket or rain coat. Also, you will be out on a river dress accordingly. NO open toed shoes! This includes flip- flops. You can rent shoes and wetsuits. If you have any medical issues like allergic reactions etc. I would either bring your own Epi Pen kit and medications with you, and stow it in the water proof bag, or possibly think about finding a less isolated outdoor experience. Be warned, white water rafting can be physically strenuous. The only issue I had was the lunch that was provided. Not that it was bad, it was well packaged and pre-made( not to order). If you have food allergies or don't like mayonnaise bring your own food. Zoar Outdoor is not really able to accommodate food allergies or pickey eaters. Mayonnaise was on every sandwich. I don't know why. They could just have provided packets on the side but they there were none available. My son hates mayonnaise so he only ate the chips, pickle, and cookies provided which got him through the remainder of the trip but not exactly a great lunch. One man we were with had a dairy allergy. I'm pretty sure he was not able to eat any of the food. I'm not sure why he didn't make sure a head of time if he could eat the food.I wish I had known the sandwiches had mayonnaise on them a head of time. Not a huge deal, we got over it. The trip was super fun! I would love to go again and will definitely choose Zoar Outdoor again.
