Quiet campground on Scarborough Marsh
We stayed for 3 nights in late July. This adult only campground is peaceful and quiet, with the sounds of birds and the trees being the main thing you hear - it is quite relaxing. It has both tent and rv sites, some with full hookup and some with power and water only. The trees are quite tall and create a lovely canopy overhead. There is some road traffic noise, but it’s minimal. In general, the sites are pretty close together and do not have great buffers. The sites that face the marsh are the best sites - they have some grass and lovely views. We were in site 5, which faces the woods and was dirt. It had a slight bump in it which made hooking and unhooking our travel trailer a little difficult. The bathrooms were very clean. There is a small camp store that sells wood. The people we met who worked at the camp were friendly and helpful. There are a few very short walking paths in the campground , but it is 1.3 miles of the Eastern Trail, a multi use gravel path which is a better place to walk, bike, or run. It is within a mile of the Audubon center office, where you can either put in your own kayak/canoe or rent one. In theory, you can launch a kayak from the campground, but I would not recommend it. There is a culvert under Rt 9 that you need to pass under which is dangerous - the Audubon Center informed us that people have flipped in the culvert due to the current, and that there are obstructions under water that one individual got caught on.
