The Island Campground

The Island Campground has been family-owned and operated for over 60 years, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and modern convenience in East Lyme, Connecticut. Situated along the shores of Lake Pattagansett, our private campground provides seasonal, monthly, and year-round rentals for RVs and park models, with no tent camping or short-term rentals available. Our commitment to family values and American traditions creates a welcoming environment for long-term guests, many of whom have returned annually for over 25 years. We specialize in providing waterfront accommodations with easy access to Lake Pattagansett, a 124-acre trophy-bass lake that permits all types of motorized access. Located midway between New York City and Boston, our property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility to regional attractions.

Our team maintains strict standards for cleanliness and respect, ensuring a peaceful experience for all guests. With only limited availability due to high demand, we prioritize applicants who align with our values and seek long-term stays. Our proximity to local attractions like Niantic Bay Boardwalk, Mystic Seaport, and Rocky Neck State Park enhances the value of our offerings. We maintain transparent communication about our policies, including no pets, no smoking in units, and extra guest fees. For over six decades, we have built our reputation on consistency, integrity, and providing exceptional value for seasonal campers.
