Customer Reviews
Well maintained, quiet campground. Campsites are spacious. Bathrooms very clean! The location makes it a great place to explore Cape Cod. It's my second year staying here, and I would definitely come back again.
Really peaceful and affordable place to camp while exploring this area. There is a playground and bathhouse and it’s just incredibly peaceful. If you’re from out of state it cost like $54 I think, but MA residents pay $17 a night-ish for a campsite, incredibly affordable! Makes a trip to the cape and all the historic site here doable :-)
Great place to bring the family, but be aware there is a lot of poison ivy around the sites. There's also a sign stating there is such thing, but didn't see it until after the fact, sign was somewhat covered. My husband got it on his hands which then ended up on his eyelids (touching face). Check in process was very easy, the staff is very nice and understanding. There's also a little store, but they don't always follow their store hours and the store doesn't carry much, but you can get your bundle of wood there, deodorant, mosquito spray etc. There isn't showers in all the bathrooms, but there's a specific "showers" area. Our kids loved the playground so did we, the playground looked new. There's slides, a little basketball court, restrooms are behind the playground and there's a few sites around/ near the playground. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely come again.
Stayed labor day weekend with our family. The park had alot of great sites, all big and private. We were at B81 which was nice since we were on a little rotary, it was safe for my daughter to ride her scooter around it. We also had a nice dish station by us which not all bathrooms had and no neighbors to our right since it was a corner site. The playground was great and the staff was super friendly. The location is perfect for exploring the Cape. Only downfall is bathrooms. They weren't the best dcr campground bathrooms I've used, old and dirty. But it wasn't the biggest deal. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to going again.
Great site, excellent facilities!, helpful, pleasant, professional staff. Park store wasn't open when I was looking for wood, but local supermarket is very close by.
