Nestled within the beautiful forests of Preston, Connecticut, bordering the Quinebaug River, sits a hidden treasure. Hidden Acres Family Campground offers everything you could ever want in a camping vacation.
Many years ago, the Boy Scouts of America’s Camp Quinebaug occupied the land that is now Hidden Acres Family Campground. In 1966, the Boy Scouts sold the property and Hidden Acres Family Campground was created. The Migliaccio Family purchased the land in 1972. Today Hidden Acres Family Campground continues to be proudly owned and operated by the second and third Migliaccio generations.
This wonderful campground sits on 65 acres of beautifully wooded land with about 200 sites. There are quaint little cabins right on the river with covered porches and outdoor fire pits. You will find an array of campsites small enough for a tent or large enough to accommodate a big motor home with full hook-ups.
If vacation is relaxing in a quiet area, soaking up the sun and reading a book, this is the place for you. If vacation means quality family time, creating great memories for you, your children or your grandchildren, this is also the place for you!
