Curlew Pond campground

Curlew Pond Campground is a hidden gem located at 1 Curlew Pond Rd, Plymouth, MA, within the picturesque Myles Standish State Forest. This private, seasonal campground offers a unique blend of natural beauty and family-friendly activities, making it a beloved destination for generations of campers.

The campground features a pristine pond perfect for swimming, fishing, and sailing, surrounded by lush forests ideal for hiking and exploration. Recreational amenities include a basketball court and other facilities designed to enhance your outdoor experience. Seasonal leases are available, allowing families to return year after year to their favorite sites, many of which have been cherished by the same families for decades.

While permanent constructions are not permitted, campers can set up tents, campers, and semi-permanent structures using materials like 2x4s, canvas, and fiberboard. Modern conveniences such as water and electric hookups have replaced older systems, ensuring a comfortable stay while preserving the rustic charm of the campground.

Curlew Pond Campground is more than just a place to stay—it’s a community and a tradition. Families often pass down their sites through generations, creating a sense of continuity and belonging. If you’re lucky enough to secure a site, you’ll join a community of campers who treasure this special place as their "home of the heart."

Here’s what some of our long-time campers have to say:

• "My family has been camping here since the 1960s, and it’s truly a home away from home. The pond, the forest, and the sense of community are unmatched."
• "Curlew Pond Campground is where I made my best childhood memories. It’s a place where families come together and create traditions."
• "If you can get a site here, consider yourself blessed. It’s one of the most peaceful and beautiful places to camp."

Curlew Pond Campground is a seasonal retreat that runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. If you’re interested in joining this cherished community, contact the owners to inquire about availability. Preference is often given to families with a history at the campground, but newcomers are always welcome to experience the magic of Curlew Pond.
