Shasta63 (RV Park Reviews) I came to hidden acres campground with my best friend and her family. I am so happy they introduced me to this place. Everyone is so friendly! The seasonals welcomed me like family. They have so many activities and a beautiful river. Can’t wait to go back again and bring my family! - Megan T (Facebook Reviews). Foxwoods is a great destination spot for an overnight or weekend of dry docking. The resort accommodates RVs of all sizes in a designated parking area, within walking distance of the casinos, although shuttles run 24/7. You will need to check in with security, as most casinos require. Foxwoods is less than 15 minutes away. There is a large mall (outlets) attached to the casino for those just wanting to shop. In Sepember 2016, we stayed in our Tent Trailer at Strawberry Park in Preston, CT. Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun casinos are nearby.

Mohegan had a separate parking lot for RVs dry camping that over looks the river. No limits on stay length. As soon as you enter the parking lot, security will take you to the parking lot which overlooks the river. Security patrols the area and there is a shuttle every 15 minutes to the casino. Nice place to dry camp.

You have to attain a permit to stay here and because I was planning to sleep in my Toyota Rav4, they initially refused to issue me a pass. I was eventually able to convince them to let me for one night, but they weren't happy about it.

Tent Camping Near Foxwoods Casino

Excellent for free parking lot camping. Gorgeous view.

Very nice free camping spot for RV/Van Dwellers. It overlooks the casino and a river below. Beautiful scenery, even got to watch a train go by several times on the bank across the river. There is a shuttle bus that goes to and from the casino every 15-20 minutes.
The security guard told me that you can stay 7 days at a time-14 days if you request it. Then you have to leave for 1 day and you can come back again.

Stayed here in a 21 foot-long Class C (RV). Willie Jack would stay here again.

Stayed here 2 nights. Very nice time. Casino is a must see. Just flash your lights and casino security will come and give you a permit

Stayed here in a Class B (RV). James RIDLEY would stay here again.
