I've camped in a fair amount of places over the years, sometimes just for convenience or to save money on a hotel, but mostly just because I wanted to wake up in a cool spot .. Nowadays it's car camping; me and the kids, usually with the dog .. Sometimes we meet up with family or friends .. And sometimes it's just us .. We like places with swimming and canoeing .. We also look for bike riding and hiking
So here is my Campground Review .. My opinions on as many campgrounds as I can remember that I stayed at .. Organized by State with a 5-Star Rating System
One Star : Not so hot
Two Star : OK if it's convenient
Three Star : An A-OK place
Four Star : Very nice
Five Star : Knock your socks off outstanding

Interesting camping on an island in Boston Harbor .. nice views of the city from the beach .. camp site was in a scrub forest .. islands have quite a history .. no fresh water on the island .. no campfires above high tide mark .. carry-in carry-out policy .. multiple ferry trips limited flexibility on when you could come and go

Clarksburg State Park - Clarksburg, MA - Way out by Mount Greylock, North Adams .. Close to VT and NY borders .. Very old pine forest .. Trees so thick and high that this place remains dark even on a sunny day .. There is a small lake that we came to call Lake Stinky .. some kind of problem with geese and bacteria .. You can stay here and climb Greylock .. not a lot else to do .. No lake front sites

Mohawk Trail State Forest - Charlemont, MA - Northwestern part of the state .. Pretty sites on a fast moving, freezing cold river .. There is a man made swimming area with pooled off river water, but I don't know if that water ever warms up .. Hiking trailheads from camping area
Nobscot Scout Reservation - Framingham, MA - Surprisingly large boy scout reservation where we take the kids camping and hiking .. nice trails and naturally wooded areas .. cabins, tent areas and lodges .. for some reason it rains every time we go
NEW HAMPSHIRE
Danforth Bay Camping Resort - Freedom, NH - Deluxe Camping on bay off of Ossipee Lake .. Up by Chocorua .. Big heated swimming pools, Movie Nights, Electricity, Cable, Wifi .. Activities for the kids .. Ice Cream socials .. Canoe, kayak and boat rentals .. This place has it all .. Not exactly roughing it, but the kids love it .. go there if you can!
Chocorua Camping Village - Chocorua, Tamworth, NH - Private campground with lodge, and activities .. we rented rustic cabins here .. you walked across wetlands to get to them .. a small lake for canoeing and swimming .. An incredibly buggy hiking trail .. It was purchased by KOA sometime back and they added a small pool .. The cabins are worth renting
White Lake State Park - Tamworth, NH - State park up by Chocorua .. I remember a very nice lake beach .. no waterfront sites though .. Nice place to stay and hike Mt Chocorua .. A very nice campground

Lonesome Lake - Franconia, NH - Beautiful unspoiled lake below Cannon mountain .. about an hour's hike from Lafayette campground and Route 93 .. westernmost NH Appalachian Trail hut .. they serve terrific meals and offer primitive lodging with latrines .. you can also pitch a tent and use their facilities .. we watched a pair of moose enjoy the lake one evening .. great hiking, good food at the lodge and at the summit .. highly recommended!

Appalachian Trail Lean-To's - One Hundred Mile Wilderness, ME - Camped around five or six lean-to's between Monson and Millinocket .. each has a name, but I don't remember any of them .. beautiful, unspoiled country .. nice people along the trail .. the lean-to's provide good shelter in the rain and serve as a meetingplace for hikers going in each direction .. there is nearly always a water source close by and sometimes a latrine .. some hikers chose to sleep in the lean-to's but most pitch a tent somewhere nearby
Abol Bridge Campground - Millinocket, ME - Met friends here at the end of the One Hundred Mile Wilderness .. All I remember is the store, a hot shower, eating (what seemed like) good food, and cold beer .. Climbed Katahdin the next morning .. a beautiful mountain
VERMONT
Wallingford Pond - Rutland, VT - Not a camping area at all .. Just a spot the locals know at the end of snowmobile trail where you can pitch a tent lakeside .. lake is undeveloped .. lotta fish, deer .. we even saw a moose .. Directions from Wallingford .. Route 7 .. go east on route 140 for 2.1 miles, bear right onto Sugar Hill Road, and White Rocks is on your immediate right .. there's a dirt road .. you can get a ways down it in a truck and then you're on your own
RHODE ISLAND
Burlingame State Park - Charlestown, RI - The 'Camping City' .. This place is huge .. many hundreds of sites .. more than I've seen anywhere else .. there is a lake, but people come here for the proximity to beautiful RI beaches, including Misquamicut
NEW YORK
Watkins Glen State Park - Watkins Glen, NY - Finger Lakes .. campground has a nice reputation, but we saw little of it .. just a sleep over for us on the way from Cooperstown to Niagara .. and boy was the ground hard .. this is the campground that made me buy an air mattress
Letchworth State Park - Castile, NY .. the "Grand Canyon of the East" .. listed as a "Top 100 Campground" .. 30 miles south of Rochester .. it's in a very large park with a highly impressive gorge carved out by the Genesee river .. the gorge has sheer cliff walls dropping hundreds of feet .. the river has three magnificent waterfalls easily accessible .. many miles of hiking trails .. rafting tours, restaurants and stores .. an enormous swimming pool with a nice diving area .. the campground is forested and has playgrounds, a great rec room and a laundry .. be forewarned that everything in this park is very spread out .. the gorge, cabins, pool and campground are way far apart from each other .. nonetheless this park has more to offer than almost any other park I can think of

A guy has a few huts for rent .. on the most beautiful beach in the world! .. Club Med, Punta Cana and Bavaro Beach are a ways down the beach .. on different occasions I slept in huts or pitched a tent on the beach .. perfect green caribbean surf .. hundreds upon hundreds of coconut trees .. endless .. high sand cliffs .. fresh caught grilled fish .. ice cold presidente .. yeah, I remember this place
Bayahibe Beach - Bayahibe, La Romana, DR - If you go there now, you'll find an all-inclusive resort .. back then there was a fishing village with a spectacular beach .. you could pitch a tent on the beach and nobody cared .. there was even a fresh water spring nearby for bathing .. the village had a few small restaurants and bars .. I guess tourists were beginning to discover it even back then
MALAWI
Lake Malawi - Salina, Malawi - Pitched a tent, but didn't sleep a wink .. too worried about snakes and hippos .. Lake Malawi is very beautiful .. Wonderful beaches .. the lake is enormous .. hundreds of miles long, separating Malawi and Mozambique .. there are many islands with great varieties of tropical fish .. beware the giant lizards on the islands and the hippos along the shore .. hippos kill more people each year than any other mammal .. Enjoy the Chambo!
