I like this KOA Resort.  It has a Store with everything RVers could need, the Amenities are well-kept, and the Campsites have LOTS of space, with Picnic Tables and Fire Rings.  

It's a great location for visiting Eastern Connecticut.  The area Beaches are very popular.  Mystic Seaport Village, the Seaport Museum, and Mystic's Historic Downtown.  Stonington's Art Galleries, Shops, Restaurants, The Old Lighthouse Museum, and Dubois Beach are great places to visit.  Groton has the Submarine Base, Submarine Force Museum, and the Nautilus Nuclear Submarine.  New London has Historic Sites, Museums, The Connecticut College Arboretum, and more...    Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard is located 8 miles away.
