This campground is a member of Camp Club USA.  Check out http://www.campclubusa.com for details.  I joined in 2007 but wasn't able to take advantage of this until 2008. 

This is a very large campground in central Connecticut, about a half mile from Lake Pocotopaug (500 acre lake with passes available).  Other local attractions within a short driving distance are:  Essex Steam Train; Dinosaur State Park, Rocky Hill; Peabody Museum; Gillette Castle; Goodspeed Opera House; Foxwood Casino; Mohegan Sun Casino; Mystic Seaport; Mystic Aquarium; golf courses; antique shops. 

The campground itself features: horseshoes, basketball, playscape, volleyball, softball, swimming, many planned activities over a weekend, fishing, hiking, bingo, pool parties, cable TV, camp store, recreation hall, mobile sanitation unit, 60-foot swimming pool, mini golf.  There are shady sites and open sites.  Many have chosen to season camp here. 

Gustine's RV Sales and Service is located inside the campground with three certified RV service technicians.  They are open 7 days a week during the camping season and feature a selection of new and used travel trailers, park models, popups, fifth wheels, light-weights, and expandables if you're shopping for a new rig.
