Nice campground with a very nice staff and clean facilities. Not a lot of frills but they don't advertise a lot either. The river runs along the campground and is great for a short kayak trip. Enjoyed the campground very much. We will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We liked Charlie Brown BECAUSE it was quiet. The kids we saw did just fine with casting a line in the bordering stream and pond and just running around being kids. For those that need a "yogi bear" type experience, this is definitely not the place! Very nicely maintained grounds, we were at the end of the stream-side sites (43?) and somewhat secluded from the rest of the CG. Just wonderful. On the downside, you can hear some noise from a fairly busy road and the showers are pay...plus I can't help adding a small gripe about the cost - but this is New England where almost every CG is $40 & up. Owners were super helpful and nice. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Charlie Brown Campground has built a new pavilion (in 2007) specifically for entertainment and this Labor Day holiday weekend we had plenty to do. We camp with several families with assorted age children and our motorhomes spoked around one of their 3 pavilions, which lend great atmosphere for the gang to potluck. In case of inclement weather, we've got a great place to hang around the fire as well. The staff are extremely accommodating and friendly and they take great care of their guests. On the service side, they will pump out the motorhomes for an extremely reasonable fee. If pool or river swimming is a requirement for you, this isn't the place you want to go. But consider this - how many campground offices have you walked into and had the owner offer you a freshly baked chocolate cookie while you are standing in line? Our group keeps going back year after year and for very good reason. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Small Campground. Quiet. Too quiet though. No pool, small river you can walk in but water level is too low to swim. No sewer but dump station on site. Disappointed that for a July weekend there was not one single activity. Clean campground but the lack of ANY entertainment or a pool will keep me away from returning. Perfect park for a retiree or childless. Good size sites. Stay along the river if you stay. Nice view. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Not really a bad place. We were here for a rally and stayed off to the side in a large grass back-in site. It had a grey water only sewer drain. There is not a lot of much in this area of CT, so $35 is high for a place like this. Putnam CC is within an hour and a fairly nice course. Other than that I can't see us coming back here for any reason. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place for early season camping when the trout fishing is good. Not much for kids, no pool, very limited play area, not many activities. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Great campground. We stayed there for three weekends. They kids had a great time. The family bingo was good fun in the pavillion. We are going back for a week and three weekends this spring. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We enjoyed the beauty of the Natchaug River-great fishing and tubing. No planned activities. Play and game equipment. Wonderful owners-did anything to make your stay pleasant. No rec hall. We camped here in a Motorhome.
