The Sandbox Campground

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents12 acres · Groton, CT

The Sandbox campground was born from The Sandbox Indoor Beach Sports and Events facility, which mainly focuses on providing year round beach volleyball. We bought the property in 2015 and opened the facility in 2019. As it happens, it's a 12+ acre lot surrounded by wetlands, hiking and biking trails ... there will never be another building built within view of our facility. We are surrounded by nature, and will be forever. So what a great opportunity to offer camping and access to all of the forests, woodlands, wetlands and trails around! And if you're up for it, come play some beach volleyball and meet new lifelong friends :)

The best camping near Burlingame State Park guide

Overview

About

Burlingame State Park, with its picture perfect pond, wooded shores, and trails galore, could be the setting for your favorite all-American summer camp movie. Surrounding beautiful Watchaug Pond, there is a camping area and 29-acre wildlife sanctuary (perfect for birders!). Beneath the blue, you’ll find a solid stock of largemouth bass that can be reached via convenient boat ramps. Hang out on the fresh water beach, or make a pit stop at Dave’s Coffee just up road the and drive 10 minutes to some of RI’s prettiest oceanfront spots. Booze is banned here, so be sure to pack some Solo cups and keep the liquid contraband on the DL.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Burlingame State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months bring warmth and a full bloom of park life, but also larger crowds. Winters can be brisk, offering a quiet, frosty landscape for those who prefer solitude. Avoid holiday weekends if you're looking for a peaceful retreat.

Know before you go

Check the park's official website for any alerts on closures or safety advisories before your visit.
Ensure you have a map of the park, as cell service can be spotty in remote areas.
Wear appropriate footwear for hiking and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Respect wildlife habitats by observing from a distance and not feeding the animals.
Take advantage of the available facilities, including picnic areas and restrooms, to make your visit comfortable.
