This Saturday, July 1, Six Flags New England officially kicks off their “largest celebration ever.” As part of their Summer Nights Spectacular, the action-packed theme park won’t just hold fireworks on the 4th of July. Nine fireworks celebration nights are scheduled between now and August 25th.

Friday through Sunday on ten consecutive weekends, Six Flags will host quite a party. “When The Sun Sets, The Party Starts,” they state. It will feature live music, specialty food items, summertime games, and a fireworks finale.

Other Party Details

If just sitting and watching the fireworks display is not enough action for you, there will be additional options. A live DJ will spin summer hits in Gotham City from 5 pm until close. Also in this area, the Six Flags Fun Squad will host various competitive games, like a water balloon toss and hula hoop competition.

Moreover, the celebration is for the whole family. A kid’s rave in Gotham City will start at 6 pm. The Fun Squad hosts a dance party full of beats and bubbles for children of all ages.

Six Of New England's Best RV Sites

Now that it is officially summer, it’s only natural to start daydreaming about your getaway plans. In the northeast, we are fortunate to have many waterside areas that are ideal for campsites. Here, we are featuring six of the best RV sites in New England to explore.

We will highlight one RV site per New England state. Each of them are unique in their own right. But they all contain the essentials that you look for in a site.

Accommodations

Recreational vehicles offer their own living quarters. So when going through the various location options, lodging accommodations were not of the utmost importance. What was, however, is ample space to comfortably park your RV. Ideally, these sites offer the ability to leverage your vehicle as simply a resting stop to call it a day in. In addition, it was imperative the sites also are flexible enough that you can pull start up the RV and pull out and drive around where need be.

Amenities

Once you have your spot, the surrounding environment is equally as important. Being lakeside is always a plus. Furthermore, RV and campsites are synonymous with families. Having a playground or firepit to cook up some smores is also encouraged. This area of the methodology responds to a simple question – what is there to do when you are not inside the RV?

The assumption is that regardless of where you go, there are trails to navigate the many New England mountain ranges adjacent to the best RV sites. A nice hike up to earn the appetite to grill hot dogs is a major site seller. The same holds true for bike paths.

Lastly, when settling on these six best RV sites in New England, they have to be a picture of fun, and represent a place that you can’t wait to return to.

  • Massachusetts - Pine Lake RV Resort

    These grounds were completely renovated and reopened in November 2020. It is located in Sturbridge, which is in the south-central region of the state. There is an eight-acre lake onsite, a large pool, and an indoor recreation center for movies and games. Pine Lake also has cottages that you can rent.

    Labeled a “luxurious camping resort,” Acres High is open year round. It is located in East Lyme, CT off Chesterfield Rd. There’s a large fishing pond that has a beach area on the south side and a brook with paddle boats available. There are great hikes right at the base of the grounds. Moreover, if you’d like to explore attractions in close proximity to the park, Foxwoods Casino and the Children’s Museum are a close drive.

  • Rhode Island - Ashaway RV Resort

    Settled peacefully near Westerly, RI, Ashaway inspires relaxation. It’s more of a flat ground, but does allow bikes to explore the all the sites. You can chill with your feet up at Ashaway or you can be very active. There are go-carts, basketball courts, pickleball, tennis, volleyball, and mini-golf.

    There are 152 campsites with 65 full hookups for RV’s. Sea Coast is right off US Route 1 in North Hampton, NH. It is surrounded by green trees.

  • Maine - Balsam Woods, Spacious Skies

    Spacious Skies has two locations in Maine, however, Balsam Woods is where RV’s go to really feel the spacious sky overhead. This is in Abbot, Maine, and while you share the grounds with cabins, you have the choice to pull your RV up to a woods or non-woods site. Regardless, there are miles of hiking trails. As for unique amenities – gem mining or jumping on a giant pillow trampoline anyone?
