Stony Brook Campground

Zero stars… or negative 10 stars.
I called for rates and availability. We wanted a 30 day stay in our RV. The person that answered the phone was appalled at the fact I called at 6:30 a.m.; I intended to leave a message. As I was about to, the fella called me back with an insanely rude undertone.
Answered the phone with a “Who is this…!?” I stated my needs and the fella asked “what I needed and when”. I told him. He said “I’m not interested” And hung up on me. Quite the business man. It seems to me this dude is NOT a morning person. I really hope people staying there never have a problem before 8 a.m. I’d suggest avoiding this place like the plague.

A very nice private campground. No lake or stream in the campground also there are no trails but there are gravel roads off the campground my dogs and I hiked. Some pretty steep hills. As in all private campgrounds the big rigs are packed in tight but if you are tent camping it looks awesome. Some sites are pretty secluded. It was a nice stay and we were off season so no pool or games it was OK very few people to.

We had a wonderful stay at Stony Brook Recreation! It’s a great, quiet campground, perfect if you’re looking for some peace and relaxation. As a full-time traveling family of five, we usually like being closer to the playground, but the full hookup sites here are located near the entrance, which worked out just fine for us. There are several outside games and mini golf near the playground, which we loved.

Mike, the owner, suggested the Wheeler Bros. Mine Tour, which we did and absolutely LOVED (highly recommend!). The nearby town of Bethel was also a pleasant surprise, with a little grocery store, a nice park with a skate park, a museum, and several charming restaurants.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in this quiet, beautiful area and would happily return.

Such a good experience that we started planning our next stay before we left. My family tented out in one of the awesome, off to the side tent sites that was secluded from the main "road". Had someone show us to our site, everyone working was so friendly and really seemed to care if we were having a good experience. Spent hours in the beautifully maintained pool with the kids. They have nets out for tennis or volleyball, an adorable mini-golf course, a shuffleboard setup, and basketball hoops all in a nice central area to the camps. Bathrooms were clean. The owner was really friendly, knowledgeable, and has plenty of projects planned to spruce up some of the older bits of the campground that he inherited from the previous owners in less than ideal condition. The dark sky hours were a really awesome touch to the experience. The whole time there was so much fun and we can't wait to come back!

I loved staying in Stony Brook! I stayed in the back sites, in #19, and that was definitely the right call. Each of the sites was spacious, beautiful, and separated by trees from nearby sites. I was essentially living in a pine forest. It was incredibly peaceful the whole time, even with having games and activities nearby. The mini golf course was particularly cute. The amenities worked well, although WiFi and cell service was spotty. Camp store is well-stocked. The only downside was the price of laundry, which was about twice what I've normally paid.

Mike was an incredibly kind and welcoming host! We had many good conversations during my stay and I hope to visit again someday.
