Group trip

This is our 5th year staying at Great Times and for the 5th year I have nothing but great things to say. While unfortunate that we could not have a fire due to the state wide fire ban, Will was professional and responsible abiding by state and local ordinances. He went out of his way to provide heat tower tents to keep us warm which was greatly appreciated. Looking forward to year 6!

Will was accommodating and kind. Beautiful place. Swans and geese landing over the lake - great view of you go for a walk. The bathroom had running water and electric which was a nice bonus from what we typically see. Would stay again! Thanks so much.

We had an incredible time!! This place is amazing for groups since you will have the entire space. The cabins are bare bones but comfortable. There is one outlet in each cabin, and the space heater worked well. These are not luxury cabins in any way -- its truly camping with a bunkhouse. The open spaces and ballfields are perfect for big groups. Bathrooms are typical. Very basic with flush toilets, soap, paper towels, and there are 2 outdoor showers. Be prepared food-wise since there are no grills or grates over the firepit. As ridiculous as it sounds, we hired Michael's Catering in Southampton to deliver dinner for us one night. Food and service were stellar! We had a blast and already booked a spring trip. Can't wait to return.

Spacious, Secluded and Fun

Group trip

We absolutely loved our time at Great Times campground. It is spacious and super private but still located in an area close to conveniences. While we did get destroyed by the bugs even with bug spray, it did not make the time there any less fantastic. Will made the check in easy and showed us everything available to us on site. We added the second cabin last minute and he made it incredibly easy. Look forward to our next stay there.

Family fun weekend!

With kids

First and foremost, having the whole campground to ourselves was the best!!! Only thing that we would change is the no access to the pool, the kids were bummed because it was HOT! Lots of beehives and spiders around. If your kids are afraid I think it’s something to be mindful of. BRING BUG / TICK SPRAY!!! Also, please note the cabin does NOT sleep 24. The bunks were made for children and so sleeping arrangements were definitely interesting hahaha. We had a great time nonetheless!
