Salem Farms Campground

We really appreciate this campground for several reasons. It has everything that we value in a camping experience; wooded, rustic, roomy sites, cleanliness… TWO pools, activities and attentive staff. Most recently, we were there for July 4 weekend; people were enjoying themselves and having fun; the kids were able to decorate their bikes and be in a campground parade. People had their pets, enjoyed meeting others’ pets while walking them and it was just a fun friendly atmosphere. We also appreciate that rules that are posted are enforced (yet not to the point of not being able to have fun) and the atmosphere is conducive to families. We had a problem with our camper and the owner himself took the time out to help us with it. We have been to this campground on several different occasions (5 or 6) and our experience has always been consistent.

I’m surprised by the negative reviews. We’re tent campers and really like this space. The owners are awesome. It’s a super dog friendly location with on-​property trails to take your pets on. The wood here is well-​priced and they deliver it via golf cart. They provide garbage cans and do garbage pick up as well.
The property is huge. They have two in ground pools and multiple playscapes for kids. Also huge well tended grassy fields for recreational activities. The mini golf and tennis courts have some wear to them but it’s perfectly fine for casual use.

I don’t give poor reviews easily, but this campground just didn’t measure up to others in the area that we have loved.
We stayed there for one week and should have left after the first day or two. Very little going on, and hardly any campers that came in for the weekend (primarily all seasonals). Although most everyone was pleasant, it just felt like we were in «their» place. The hookups were odd also, we had to get an extension to a shared pole… weird.
On the plus side, Salem Farms has 2 pools, small mini-​golf and a petting zoo (goats) and is kept clean.
Basically, too many options in central/​eastern CT… we’ll go elsewhere.
