    Horseneck Beach State Reservation

    Beachside camping, but expensive for non-residents.

    This is a great oceanfront campground located behind the dunes of Buzzards Bay. We booked early since the park only has 100 sites and we wanted a 50A site (not all sites have electric so pay close attention when you book). Our campsite has a picnic table and fire pit and was paved with a sand patio. The electric was good with both legs above 120 volts. The bathhouse was clean and is situated in the middle of the campground. There is a dump station which is easily accessible. Roads are one-way but the sites are angled so backing in was easy. Water spigots scattered throughout the campground, and we were close enough to one that we could have filled our tank, if needed.  There is no shade and it can be quite windy.  Dogs are allowed on the beach at the campground which is a plus.  The sunsets were amazing.  There is a small playground for kids but the beach is the draw. 

    The nightly price for Massachusetts residents is a bargain at $28 but it jumps up over $70 for non-Massachusetts residents. The beach is cobblestone/sand and there is a nice paved walking path that runs parallel. The beach by the campground is very rocky but there is another day use area to the west which gets raked and they remove all the rocks, but can be very busy. There is another hiking trail (about 2 miles) that you can walk to from the campground that goes out on a spit of land where you can walk back along the sandy beach. The beach access is easy since there are mobility mats connecting the campground to the beach. 

    The closest grocery is approximately 10 minutes away and there are a couple of restaurants closer. We took a drive to New Bedford to see the Whaling Museum and the National Park Service site– both were worth the stop. All in all, we really liked our stay at Horseneck Reservation and would return.

    Coastal Acres Campground

    Great location!

    This campground is a mix of seasonal and transient campers with sites able to accommodate all size RV’s. One of the best aspects of this campground is the close proximity to downtown Provincetown which is only a half mile away. We loved walking to town for shopping and restaurants especially since parking is very expensive($20-40/day). We camped in “the field” section which has long, level, full hook-up, back in sites. Note: other sections in the park are much closer together. The field is fairly open with some trees along the back edge and a few scattered in the sites but non that would interfere with satellite reception or backing in. We stayed in F9 which was a great site! Our patio was a large, open grassy area. The site was gravel and all hookups were well-placed. (The other site we really liked was F4.) We got 12 over-the-air television stations and our Verizon phone and hotspot worked well. They do have wifi which worked pretty well for surfing the internet. 

    There isn’t much in the way of amenities except bath houses and a small store. Everyone who worked there was very nice and friendly. 

    There is lots to do in the area and you are very close to Cape Cod National Seashore which we loved for hiking, biking, and hanging out at the beach. The Province Land visitor center is worth the time as we enjoyed the films and exhibits. There was a red fox family who had a den under the visitor center that we loved watching. Also, visit the lifesaving station nearby– very interesting and informative and they do live demonstrations of drills. Truro Winery (about 10 minutes away) is a fun place to stop and enjoy wine and food outside.

    West Thompson Lake Campground

    Nice Campground!

    We stayed at one of the lean-to sites and really enjoyed our time here. We went fishing and explored the area. We hiked to the tri-state marker (CT-MA-RI) on a nearby trail. Plenty to do and see! Bathrooms were cleaner than what we are used to in a state campground.

    Salisbury Beach State Reservation

    Love camping here!

    The first time we camped here was on Columbus Day weekend a number of years ago, and we got to see seals sun bathing on the beach. Are kids thought it was the greatest thing ever! The sites are a little close together and many of them are in direct sunlight , so that isn't the greatest , but if you have an awning, you should be good. We love that it is right on the water, and we can walk to the beach. We also appreciate that it is pet friendly, and our dogs love it too. Write down the street from camp, there is a street setup almost like a boardwalk, with arcades, live music, ice cream, food, and a carousel! There is also a bigger beach, and you are one twin away from New Hampshire. Lots to see and do here!

    George Washington State Campground

    Good location, average campground

    Our first time camping here, we were trying to get a more secluded spot, but the pics on ReserveAmerica were not the greatest gauge of the sites. The sites were OK, some better than others, we didn't have any amenities but there was potable water nearby. There are cabins, which are really just bunkhouses with 2 bunk beds. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. Our loop had porta potties nearby, we only saw one real bathroom with flushing toilets and showers. We did go for a nice hike, the North/South Trail goes through the campground and there are many trails in the area as well. We did a 5+ mile loop and got a good sense of what the trails are like. Found some geocaches and our pups got a good workout.

    Spacious Skies Minute Man

    The Road is Loud

    My husband and I had a great time here! The owners and managers are amazing. Kind, friendly, attentive! We really appreciated them!

    The reason for the 4/5 is due to the road noise, and the neighbors noise. The residents that boarder the campground are a bit loud. We camped at spot 72. If you are tent camping, I would recommend not camping at the 70’s spots. It’s just close to the road, and it can get noisy at times. It quiets down at night, but during peak travel times is a little loud. Head to the back of the camp ground. The bathroom looks further away than it is, but everything is very convenient!

    Coastal Acres Campground

    Cozy and Quiet

    Provincetown is walking distance (1 mile down a path). We called at the last minute and were able to get in. Very clean, easy, and friendly hosts.
