Overview

Strawberry Park Resort Campground Inc is a 75-acre campground in Preston, Connecticut, offering a mix of traditional camping and rental lodging. In addition to RV and tent sites, the property also offers log cabins, park models, and trailer rentals. Options for longer stays are a focus here, with seasonal rentals and lots that may be available for sale or lease-to-own.

Sites & Hookups

RV and tent sites are available with utility hookups that include water, electricity, and sewer connections. This setup can be convenient for travelers planning multi-night stays or bringing larger RV rigs that benefit from full connections.

Cabins & Rentals

For guests who don’t want to bring camping gear, the resort also rents out lodging such as log cabins, park models, and trailers.

Specific in-unit features beyond this are not documented.

Events & Atmosphere

Some guests highlight annual Cajun Zydeco dance festivals held at the campground as a distinctive draw. Other feedback points to an atmosphere that can vary, with reports of late-night noise and heavy golf cart activity impacting quiet hours. If a calm, early-to-bed campground experience is important, it may be worth asking about event dates and quiet-hour enforcement.

Travel tips

Bring a vehicle for getting around: major nearby draws like Foxwoods Resort Casino (~6.8 km), Mystic Aquarium (~17.9 km), and Mystic Seaport Museum (~19.2 km) are easiest to reach by car. If you’re traveling with a larger group or planning shared meal setups, confirm current site rules in advance, as reviews mention limits on group size and campsite setups. If quiet is a priority, ask about upcoming events and how quiet hours are handled, since some guests report late-night noise and heavy golf cart activity.
