Seaport Campground, Mystic

We were told this labor day weekend that there were only 2 sites left that were both very small. We got there and registered and I and my husband were first of all really disappointed in the attitude of the girl who checked us in. she was very quick and short w/us and no "have a pleasant weekend" or anything like that. Getting back to the small campsite, we started to pull in because my husband is not so good at backing up the pop-up and we got yelled at by another one of the staff (someone in a golfcart) because we were pulling in... not bothering anyone else, by the way. On Saturday, we had friends come and join us for a couple of hrs, not the whole day as they didn't even get there until 3:00p.m., then we went for a drive to R.I. and didn't get back till 5:00p.m. and they left at 8:00. They were actually charged full price of $7.00 each for a full day. When our friend made a comment on how expensive that was, the girl practically threw his change at him and his camper pass to hang on his rearview mirror. This was yet another staff member. To put the icing on the cake, remember we were told they only had 2 campsites left? Well they were not booked for the weekend. They had full size campsites left which were not taken the whole holiday weekend. The place itself was very nice. The regular campsites were quite roomy and they had a volleyball court, pool, and a nice playground for the kids. But will we go back there again???? Probably not.

We got a site that should not be a site in this campground. Uneven ground, squished between and overgrown bush and a building "pavilion". Our camper was too tall to fit under the tree that it had to fit under to make it to the hookups. We asked for a change. The teenager was rude but gave us a choice of three sites which we scoped out and got a really comfortable, pretty one with no fire ring or picnic table...I got overcharged $28.00 which the same girl was rude about when reimbursing. Then there were the little things...like when leaving, no water at the dumpstation...a hose...but no water. On Sunday morning, no toilet paper and no electricity to make the hand dryers work and no paper towels. While we ended up having a good weekend, so close to Mystic Seaport, we will not revisit this campground any time soon.
