My family booked the weekend here, and only stayed for one night. The campground was nothing like it depicted itself on the internet. They put me in what could only be described as a parking lot, where the fire pit for the site next to ours, was 3 feet from our camper. There were no activities for the kids, you could not swim in the lake and the grounds were in need of up keep. The bathrooms needed updating: my daughter’s knees hit the door when seated and her feet and calves were sticking outside of the door. The next day, we went to Sturbridge Jellystone Park, booked the remainder of the week and successfully salvaged our vacation. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Passport America rate. This place packs them in tight. Mostly filled with seasonal campers and a good place for kids. So so for older couples. We had hot weather and had to run our genset to power the A/C's. The 'transiet' area with about 12 sites was on a 100 amp circuit (do the math). Probably would avoid this place in July/August when schools are out. But it is probably ok when schools are in. There is a really nice golf course (Heritage CC) nearby that has a weekday senior rate of $30 ($36 non senior) for 18 holes with cart and lunch. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One to avoid. We called ahead after reserving through CTC--called twice to ensure that we could get a site from which we could use our internet satellite dish because we have to in order to do our jobs. Both times we were assured that we would be able to because we would be placed in "The Meadow." Not only were we not put there on arrival; it was closed and the road to that area was impassable in a motorhome. We had confirmed a site with full hookups and 30 amps. We were put in a 20 amp site without sewer--and no chance of a shot at the satellite, so no chance at getting the work done that we had to do. Whereas we had intended to get our work done in the morning and have a pleasant afternoon and part of the Sunday in a tourist village nearby, we had to leave immediately the next morning instead of staying through our three nights because these people lied to us twice and about three different elements of the reservation. There's no excuse for this. If they don't want CTC members, they need to drop the program. We could easily have gone elsewhere. All they had to do was say no when we first called to ask our questions. (We were not the only CTC members there treated this way. The nice people next to us were told they could pay $10 for one night of cable TV and $25 to dump their tanks after having reserved a full hookup site. They were equally happy. Perhaps this place treats everyone this way?) We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beach is OK. Wooded sites are very uneven and hook-ups are often far away. We were told to bring 100' of hose! We ended up on essentially a parking lot with an obstructed view of the water. Owner is very abrupt and rude. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here as Coast to Coast members. The Coast to Coast sites are called the Courtyard. Those sites are level and easy to back into. Half of these sites are satellite friendly. Verizon cell service was nonexistent. We would come back as an overnight if we had to. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There were 4 positives about our stay at the Village Green Campground. The office staff was very friendly, the price was right, the sites for overnighters were large and easy to get into, and it was the closest campground to our intended destination in Brimfield. On the negative side, the electrical power fluctuated from about 117 volts to less than 102 volts (where our EMS unit shut off power to the motor home due to low voltage to prevent damage to electrical components - that happened continually), water pressure was extremely low, the overall appearance of the area around the office area was cluttered, and half of the washers (2 of 4) and one of the 4 dryers in the laundry were not working. Most of the spaces are extended stay sites, but the overnight spaces are isolated from them by trees, the laundry/restroom building, and the rec center While not highly satisfied with this campground, we would stay here again under the same circumstances. There were other campgrounds west of Brimfield that we did not visit, and we would check them out before staying at the Village Green next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
NOT MUCH FOR THE KIDS TO DO. DID NOT LIKE THE TRACTOR BEING DRIVEN ALL OVER THE BALL FIELD. THE OWNERS ARE NICE BUT NOT MUCH OFFERED. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The owners are friendly, and know all the regulars that come to stay throughout the summer. There are many kid and family activities during the summer and holiday weekends. We camped here in a camper.
