Strawberry Park is a 160 acre campground nestled in the heart of southeastern Connecticut, in a region of lakes, streams and ocean beaches, conveniently located near all the major points of interest, and only 5 miles off I-395 or 15 miles from I-95. Strawberry Park offers a wide variety of campsites, ranging from open lawns, wooded and shaded sites, some close to the facilities, while others are more secluded.
From jct Hwy 164 & Hwy 165: Go 1 mi E on Hwy 165, then 1/2 mi N on Pierce Rd.
I really did like this place. They had things for the kids to do and were kind/welcoming. However they don’t have control over their guests. People go flying down the streets. Teenagers are driving golf carts, swearing at adults. They need to get better control over that.
Look elsewhere! Several bad things about this campground. Camp site are too close together. They don’t enforce the quiet hours so the site behind us (permanent house) was playing loud music and partying until 3 am while we trying to sleep. The campsite was rocks so tent sleeping needed more than a bag. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly but they were a 5 min walk from campsite. The port-a-potty by site was not cleaned regularly and was gross by the end of the weekend. Activities that were scheduled like the magic show was cancelled last minute.
This was our first time at Strawberry Park. We ended up being in a camp spot in between the residents and away from most of the weekenders. Everyone was super friendly. My only issue is that if you don't have a golf cart, you really can't go anywhere. I would have loved to been able to try the pool and hot tub, but it was too far to walk. Hope to come back next year with more notice so we can rent a cart.
This campground used to be amazing, what a turnaround!! Grill and creamery were closed, 1/4 of the activities as there used to be, the store was basically devoid of merchandise. Quiet hours are not enforced. The people next to us blasted music until 2 am. Children driving golf carts with music blaring loudly. There were several times the office / store was left unmanned while the 2 ladies rented golf carts or got ice, nothing in the arcade worked, and the staff wasn't doing anything about it. 3 pools were filled with disgusting green water while the adults only area was filled with small kids in the pool and no lifeguard on duty. The dog park was gone, the volleyball and disk golf fields were overgrown, and they were not set up for play.
I've been coming here since the 1980's it's sad to see this place in such a sad state.
This place should be condemned. If I could give this place a negative star, I would. Nothing was open the pool was defiantly not heated as advertised. The workers were terrible. They dropped a bag of garbage with glass in it on the road and left it there. After the third person drove over the glass in the golf cart I went and cleaned it up. I sent several emails to the company about what took place during my stay. They never responded. We rented three cottage things and left early because of how board the kids were. When you went to an activity that was scheduled, the workers were late. Additionally, no one showed up. One of the owners was talking to us in discussed, as to what was happening to Strawberry Park. I 10 out of 10 do not recommend don’t waste your money. You will not get anything back either because no one will respond to you. Whoever owns this just doesn’t care at all. Disgusting!!!! We visited in August 2023- I have given them that long to get a response.
