Huge campground chockful of amenities

General: Over 450 sites (tent 20 amp w/e; 30 amp w/e; 30 amp w/e/s; 50 amp w/e/s; 50 amp w/e; 30, 50 or premium seasonal)

Site Quality: Generally good. Sites are gravel. We had originally reserved Site 98 but there was a large rock and tree roots making it challenging to position our van. We were able to move to Site 95 which was much better. Each site has a picnic table and rock firepit. Trees provide some amount of privacy between many sites.

Bath/Shower house: Spotlessly clean. The cleaning schedule indicates it is cleaned three times daily.

Activities/Amenities:

*Some are seasonal and were closed when we were there in October. These include three pools, a food truck, coffee, and ice cream.

* Others include a pristine laundry room (but you have to purchase a laundry card, so one load is a minimum of $10), shuffleboard, playground, tennis/pickleball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoe pit, soccer and baseball fields, firewood and propane fill, free cable and WiFi, dog park. I’ve probably forgotten a few but you get the idea…

We chose this campground because of its proximity to the Woods Hole ferry terminal. It is not our typical preferred campground but for one night in the off-season, it was very pleasant. It is billed as a family-friendly campground, and I imagine it would be very different during high season. We gladly forgo seasonal amenities for a quieter stay. The staff was very present and welcoming. Note that it is located on a busy highway and if you are approaching from the south, the turn into the campground is hair-raising! There is some road noise at some sites but not for most of them.

Great, Clean Campground

Stayed here for our first trip in our camper for a weekend. We loved it! The grounds were clean, the ice cream parlor was nice as well as the food truck that was there. Our kids enjoyed the playground as well. We were there before the pools were open for the season but they were working on getting them ready.

The front office staff were very friendly and helpful as well. We did not use the showers but we did use the bathrooms a few times and they were immaculate!

We can’t wait to go back!

Awesome place!

This campground has EVERYTHING one might want or need. It IS right off an expressway so there’s a little traffic noise but the giant sites and quaint stone fire pits make up for that “con”. If you are a walker, you’ll enjoy the hilly accessible paved roads.
