On the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, as we were driving from Virginia to Massachusetts, We called this campground almost at closing time looking for a site for the night. Alicia answered and was very helpful. She made sure with the owner that what we needed was available and even told us she would meet us when we arrived to show us to our site. |She did just that and provided great information about things to do and see in the area. Our schedule allowed, so the next morning, we booked a second night there.|It is a quiet, peaceful location, and the customer service is great. They care about people.

This place is situated in a quiet community. It's beautifully manicured, well looked after and not too big. All sites have a grassy area. The pool area has plenty of lounge chairs. The washrooms are super nice with a few historical pieces. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. The office sells a few amenities, ice and fire wood, and ice cream 😃, as well, has a common area upstairs if needed. I recommend this campground and hope to return on another vacation in the future.

All though the scenery was very beautiful. Our cottage had no a.c my family had complained for 2 days with the extreme heat . we had 2 small children. we were moved the day before we were going to leave. One of the staff members had to my fiance that they didn't know about the problems and they weren't sure what to do ,after we all had complained how unbearable it was . The beds are so uncomfortable I'm sure jail mattresses would feel better.I just wish we had better service because some of the staff is actually nice and would've been a better stay had we'd been accommodated the first 6 times we had complained in one day . Wouldn't recommend it.

We stayed on site W1 for a week. Full hookup, tons of room at this site. It's an open site, so no real shade if that's what you are looking for. Site was pretty level and easy pull thru.
It's extremely quiet here during the week. The weekends get a bit busier, but it was quiet by 9-10 every night. They have a nice pool, well maintained. There is not a lot to do here for kids, just an FYI if you are looking for that. The campground is small, but beautiful. Open fields, and did I mention quiet!
The camp store doesn't really have much, but the campground is very close to a lot of stores. Most within 10 minutes. We found the staff to be very friendly. It is also very dog friendly here too. We would definitely come back!

We stayed there with our camping group (Charter Oak Camping Club) opening weekend in April 2024. Our group consisted of 14 families. The sites we spacious and the views were great. Valarie, Alica and Vince were great to work with throughout the process of making our reservations and while there. From checking in to when we left, they were very accommodating and went well above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this campground when in the area.

Grandview campground presentation is very nice ,prices are reasonable, sites extremely small for bumper pull campers , they say they are a family campground but they are not , the manager Vince is on a power trip and is running the general operations of the campground similar to a dictatorship, what there is of a playground its not kid friendly, can't put down camping rugs but can set up tents on the grass , you have to buy their bundles of wood at 7 plus bucks a bundle and is extremely dry so you go threw the bundle in a hour . The reason you can't bring your wood is because they are afraid of getting bugs in their campground that are evasive from other states but I was from conneticut. The claim to have wooded sites but all their sites are the same as camping in a field at a state park with hardly any trees . The manager was mowing at 7 a.m which is rude . They have rules to follow but there ,but what there was of kids they where running around way after 11 p.m of noise time . The camp store was barely stocked. They claim to cater to family and friends yea if it's their friends and they where letting these friends and families use their firewood off these friends own vehicles. So if I can give 10 negative stars I would . Going here was a waste of a great holiday weekend. And if you bring your dog(s) they want you to bring the dogs medical records which is not a good business practice. Every other campgrounds we've been too all the wanted to see was our little monster man rabies tag not his whole medical history. So we will never go back here even if they are the only place in conneticut

The Good: Gravel is fresh and even. Lots of effort is evident to maintain, and the camp is very clean. Employees are visible and helpful. Gravel site was totally level. Very nice pool and pool area. New picnic tables, nice fire rings. Large paved pad for pickle ball and basketball.||The Less Good: Our site was very tight (slides with neighbor were 4 feet apart). Never could connect to the internet, and ATT was weak in the area. No cable, and no OTA channels. $66 per night.||Overall, a nice camp and a pleasant stay. We camped at GrandView CampResort & Cottages in a Motorhome.

This camping ground is wonderfully small, clean, quiet and the utmost of serenity . From my campsite, Pool View, the stars are the brightest lights, and after hours, the loudest noises are those of nature.

The owners are the best pair, they were extremely accommodating, kind, and caring. I can't wait to come back again.
