Great campground, mostly under shady pine trees. Squirrels running around. No electricity, no sewage for campers, however there are dumpsters, which is good for us. Very nice views and areas for swimming near the lake. Very quiet. Bathrooms alright. We were here in June and it was not very busy. Nice playground for kids.
Family and I loved it! Beautiful sandy ponds well stocked for fishing. Ocean maybe a mile away that has amazing tide pools at low tide (lots of wild life- we saw a squid!). Cape Cod Rail Trail (paved bike trail) is awesome for kids to ride without worrying about cars. Many trails for hiking and biking. There is something for everyone. Site itself has picnic table and nice firepit with cooking grate. General store well stocked with essentials and reasonably priced. Bathrooms and showers are totally fine for camping. Only thing I wish was better is getting kayak to water isn't as easy as dragging from camp to the water. We chained ours up on water's edge at one of the launch sites; as did some others and that worked well, but many lugged back and forth from their site, which for our travel setup would be total pain... People mostly respected quiet hours when we were there; being there for nature and not late night partying.
Very clean and showers and bathrooms very well kept. The area and the ponds are fantastic!
Very good place. So beautiful
The yurts are awesome! I just wish there were more restrooms. Trekking there in the middle of the night was scary.
