Stateline Campresort & Cabins - East Killingly, CT

This past weekend we visited Stateline for the first time.  I must say this campground is ideal for those looking to do some "real" camping.  Most sites are nicely wooded but, sorry kids, no cable TV and the Wi-Fi was intermittent. They offer gray water drainage hook-up at all sites, which is a plus for those of us with teenagers who must take long showers. This campground is truly perfect for pop-ups, tenters, and small to moderate size units because of the smaller size sites and the difficulty maneuvering around due to the trees.  However they do have a few sites that accommodate larger units.....at a cost.  There is a fee for each foot over 30' long. Our site was very nice.  It was a corner site, pull through, not far from the main office, rec hall and pool area.  We had plenty of space with our unit and we enjoyed the shade provided by the trees.  They do not allow you to bring in your own firewood, apparently due to the Asian beetle epidemic.  They offer firewood at what they state as a "small" fee, which was $5 for a bundle containing 4-5 small pieces of wood. I should add that they have some lovely lakeside sites and I think we may try that area on our next stay.   I commend them on an excellent activity schedule.  They had a great DJ on both Friday and Saturday nights (this past weekend was "Prom").  They had activities going all day for the kids and for adults. They had raffles (50/50 and a very nice gift basket)and bingo (cash for adults and candy bars for the kids). The amenities were very nice.  The rec hall was loaded with video games, skee ball (my favorite) and pool tables.  The pool was a large L-shape and in good condition.  The public restrooms were clean.  They have a cute "frog"pond that kids can catch frogs with nets and they have rowboat rentals for the lake that offers fresh water fishing. The cabins looked very nice.  I did not get to see the inside of any, but they appeared well-maintained and a few had covered porches....very cute.
