BRANCH BROOK CAMPGROUND, 435 Watertown Road, Thomaston, Connecticut 06787
After paying $40 a night to camp here, we hooked up and read the campground rules. In our opinion, there's a lot of negative rules and EXTRA COSTS.
CHECK OUT THESE RULES CHECK OUT THESE EXTRA COSTS & RULES
AT BRANCH BROOK CAMPGROUND
SAD FACE BULLET
Price of site is for 1 family. $5.00 EXTRA per night for adults, $2.00 EXTRA for children.
My question is "What constitutes a family?" Maybe they mean just a husband and wife - no kids ????
SAD FACE BULLET
No Electric Grills or Electric Heaters. $2.50 EXTRA PER DAY to use your AIR CONDITIONING.
SAD FACE BULLET
VISITORS: There is a $2 charge per adult and $1 charge per child for daily visits. Overnight costs are $5 per adult and $3 per child. This pertains to seasonal children and grandchildren. (We came here to visit relatives and wanted them to come to the campground just to see our RV, not to stay a long time; just to see what our RV looks like - so we were NOT happy with this cost.
SAD FACE BULLET
Washing vehicles IS NOT permited. (This is not welcome news after driving highways and having bugs on the windshield and body of the RV and toad).
SAD FACE BULLET
NO solid rugs outside that do not let the grass come through. Our site had mostly dirt - hard to keep the inside clean. If you eat at the outside picnic table, your feet could be in dirt.
SAD FACE BULLET
We were given a metered site, but weren't told how much electrictiy would cost.
SAD FACE BULLET
NO clotheslines, No outside refrigerators. No Loud Radio's or TV's (no objection on this one). Many sites do NOT have cable TV and you just don't get TV reception then. (Didn't know this in advance)
SAD FACE BULLET
Lots of other rules about children, fireplaces, pets, outside lights, conserving electricity, and more. Some good, some not so great. The most rules and EXTRA CHARGES we have gotten so far in a campground. We will NOT be back.
Thousand Trails Campgrounds have been wonderful for us so far. The membership to buy into Thousand Trails Campgrounds has been worth it to us as two full time RV Gypsies. The Thousand Trails Campground in Lebanon, Pennsylvania (near Hershey) is especially nice and very big. You get to drive through and pick your own site, which is one of the many benefits.
