  Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

  Great 1st experience

  They have glamping sites, which include full hookup, fire pit with chairs, octagon shaped picnic table and stone patio for your rv front door. Pets welcomed, a ton of extra activities like row boat rental, kayak rental, mini golf for $3 all day, must bring a bicycle helmet if your riding bikes(state law), a small store, firewood for purchase, gated community, so you feel safe, 3 pools, laundry etc. We were impressed, only thing is main pool seems alittle run down and arcade area could look better than it does. Wish the had outdoor mo ie nights and crafts for kids

  Burlingame State Park Campground

  Huge campground, not many level sites.

  I've never camped in Rhode Island, so I was curious to see what a state park campground had to offer. Rates are reasonable for state residents, but quite high if you are out-of-state, given the amenities. There are no hookups, but dump stations are available. Bathrooms have flush toilets and coin-operated showers. There's a small beach at the pond, a boat ramp, and proximity to wildlife refuges and the ocean. It's a HUGE campground, with 700 sites and 20 cabins. Canoes are available to rent.

  There's a nice playground, a camp store, and a naturalists cabin. Trails are available for hiking and biking. The beach is sandy and there's a small parking lot there, but I suspect most people walk to it. No alcohol allowed. 

  I didn't see more than a handful of level sites, with varying degrees of slope, but many are quite large. If you have an RV, plan to level; if you have a tent, be sure to bring good mattresses to protect you from the roots and rocks and orient your head to the uphill side. Most of the sites have some degree of visual separation from their neighbors, but there are places where it's hard to tell where one site ends and the next one starts. Site have fire rings and picnic tables, but if you plan to cook over the fire, bring your own grate or plan to use sticks and/or aluminum foil. 

  If you don't have a tent, consider reserving one of their rustic cabins. These offer two sets of bunks (no mattresses) and a small porch with a picnic table and fire ring outside. Some are located along the pond.

  3-4 bar cell phone coverage. No road traffic. East Beach is nearby, but parking fills early.

  Barretts Pond Campground — Myles Standish State Forest

  Small campground near a small pond at Myles Standish

  This campsite loop at Myles Standish State Forest is closest to the headquarters and borders a small pond with beach. In addition to tent/RV sites, there are 3 yurts available with bunks. Sites that appear to be near the pond are pond view rather than pondside. Approaches to Yurt JC and J5, J 26, J27 are sloped. J14 is a little awkward. J33 is probably among the largest and nicest with a pond view. The sites aren't as large as those in the Charge Pond loops, but it's a smaller campground.

  The loop has flush toilets and showers. Water is available, but no electric hookups. Fire rings and picnic tables provided. Cell phone coverage throughout the forest is poor to absent; download maps for offline use if you want to be sure to know where you are or find directions. There are miles of bike trails and ponds for fishing, swimming, and boating. There's a larger beach and picnic area at College Pond.

  Peters Pond RV Resort

  Great place for a family

  We stayed at the campground and loved it. School started late so we were able to book after the holiday in September. Weather was still warm. Pool was good, pond was great.  It was not crowded that time of year, so it was very enjoyable. We really enjoyed the beach raft, able to kayak and did some fishing. 

  Kids loved the little pool slide. Also enjoyed the golf cart rentals.  The only disappointment was that they did not have a fire pit at the rented cabin that we were allowed to use. That was disappointing. It’s one of the key things you do when camping, that needs to change. However we have booked rentals for this year and are looking forward to going back.

  Marthas Vineyard Family Campground

  The only place to camp on the island

  We have been going to this campground for years - it's the only place to camp on the island, and the only affordable way to stay on the island. The best thing about the campground is that it is wooded, and pretty much all the sites are surrounded on three sides by trees and shrubbery. So even though the sites are close, they feel somewhat private. The bathrooms are clean but always busy, but there are a few outdoor showers which are awesome! Unlike the cramped and humid indoor showers, the outside showers are roomy and very private and the open air makes them more comfortable on a hot, muggy day. There's a playground, a store with wifi outside, a game room which looks like something from the 80s, lol, and a small coin-op laundry room. Fire rings at each site plus a large community fire pit for those who don't feel like the hassle of building a fire themselves. SKUNKS!!! The skunks are super used to people, so you just have to ignore them, and they won't bother you. The young staff members are mostly from the Ukraine, etc., and are pleasant but often don't speak much English. The owners are not super friendly. A huge bonus is that the bus stops right at the entrance, so if you were without a car, it would be possible to camp here anyway (I've seen many people come in with the very basics pulled behind in carts or wagons, or back-packed in). The vineyard is amazing, but lodging is EXPENSIVE. Even though this place is pricey and continues to raise the rates, it's still cheaper than anyplace else.

  Bourne Scenic Park

  Nice location on the Cape

  This campground is on the banks of the Cape Cod Canal and owned and operated by the Bourne Recreational Authority. The park has a “state park” kind of feel but with amenities you would find at a private park. There is a wide diversity of activities including fishing, hiking, scheduled activities, a recreation hall with video games and jukebox, and store (outfitted with groceries, ice cream, beverages, and other miscellaneous items). The park is quite large with 465 sites, some of which have views of the canal. 

  Bourne Scenic Park is conveniently located near many of Cape Cod’s attractions including beaches, golf courses, historic landmarks, restaurants and shopping. The park is approximately one hour from Boston, Providence and a 30 minute ride to the ferry terminal taking you to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket. Closer to the park is downtown Bourne and Buzzards Bay which are just five minutes away and have groceries, fuel, restaurants, shopping, etc. The glass museum in the nearby town of Sandwich is very interesting with live glass blowing demonstrations. You can tour the Cape Cod Chip factory which makes delicious kettle chips.

  There are 465 RV sites to choose from that are water/electric (30/50 amp)/cable or no hook-up/tent sites. There are also lodges (with water, electric, cable) and rustic cabins. Of those 465 sites, 50% of them can be reserved for the entire season (April 1st – October 30th) which is nice if you want to stay long-term.  No sites have sewer; however, grey water dump stations are randomly placed throughout the campground and can be accessed with a garden hose. Some roads were paved while others were gravel/sand. Sites and patios were grass, sand, or gravel. There are six pull-thrus and the rest are back-ins. The one thing we did notice was that the site layout in some areas is not traditional meaning they are not all in the same direction and configuration. Some sites run parallel while the next one runs perpendicular. Restrooms and showers are spread throughout the park and were clean. There is a dump station located close to the park exit. 

  Leveling was not an issue for us in our site (C-25) but the majority of sites would be a problem for a motorhome to get level without the aid of blocks. In fact, some sites were ridiculously unlevel and took a scary amount of blocks. We choose a pull-thru because of our length. Utilities were well-placed and all worked well. The cable hook-up yielded 99 channels. Campsites have a picnic table and fire pit. There was no wifi but our Verizon phone picked up a strong signal.

  This park has lots of amenities - there are two pools, hiking/biking trails, playground, basketball courts, camp store/restaurant, pavilion, and picnic area. The park has live music on Saturday nights and various other activities like sack races and scavenger hunts. We liked that this park had a paved hiking/biking path and was big enough for a good walk. It was in a great location for exploring the Cape and the towns of Sandwich, Hyannis, Buzzards Bay and more. 

  The people in the office were super nice and helpful finding us a site. They gave us a map with all available sites for our size and let us drive around to decide. Our site was nice with a large patio and while we were there just before the park closed for the season it was very quiet. 

  We were there in the off season and enjoyed that very few people were in the park but we got the feel this place could be really busy in the summer. The park is a little pricey at $48/night but you are on the Cape so they can command that. 

  Dog owners will appreciate the paved trail that runs the length of the canal and easily accessible from the campground. There were a couple of hiking trails thru the woods that we found which served well for a dog walk. There is no off-leash dog park but the park is plenty big enough for a long dog walk.

  Noisiest Campground

  I’ve been camping for over twenty years and this campground is by far the noisiest campground I have ever been to. If you are looking for any sort of peace and quiet this is NOT the place for you. The first night we were here it sounded like a massive stadium tailgate party. There was music, yelling, and voices coming from everywhere. It does die down as it gets closer to quiet hours but that’s at 11 pm and fires need to be out at midnight. So there is no sitting around the camp fire in the evening, listening to the crickets, they are drowned out by people noise. The second night wasn’t much better. The campground itself is well maintained and seems to really cater to large extended families and groups which is nice to see. There are a lot of sites here and they are very close together so there is little privacy. But the sites are paved for your camper, have nice fire pits and a picnic table. The hookups are good too. The staff is very friendly. They don’t seem to enforce many rules. A lot of unsupervised kids on bikes (we saw two different kids on different occasions who were lost),very little mask wearing, sites with way more people on them then there was suppose to be, lots of kids without helmets, constantly barking dogs. The place is definitely dog and kid friendly. It is near so many beaches and things to do and downtown Falmouth is really cute. It’s a good campground for a place to parking your camper and go off and do things, but if your looking for some privacy and quiet, this isn’t the place to go. We won’t be coming back here.

  Marthas Vineyard Family Campground

  Awesome Experience!

  There aren’t a lot of options on MV for camping, and MVFC hasn’t let that fact diminish their attention to detail in providing a clean, well maintained and active base camp for those seeking to explore the area, or just enjoy a wonderful camp-out with a ferry ride as an extra benefit. Ali and team were most accommodating and helpful, even taking the extra time to measure the campsite ahead of our arrival to ensure our new Patriot Camper X1 would fit! The bathroom and showers were near spotless despite the summer crowd, and it was common to see cleaning occurring throughout the day. Although we were interested in sightseeing the island as first time visitors, it was clear that there were many daytime and nighttime activities that had a lot of action….kickball and basketball games were non-stop and the community fire pit area is a nice touch. They even had a group painting event one evening! The other thing we noticed was that despite the large crowd, the posted quiet hours were indeed quiet! It was such a great spot that we attempted to cancel the second half of our trip and enjoy a few more days at MVFC, but as expected, they were booked up! On a side note, we had the chance to take the MV Governor ferry on the way back to the mainland. I mention this because it’s a smaller “open deck” ferry which in my opinion was a more unique experience than the other mega-ferrys in the fleet.

  All-in-all a near flawless experience with a family that takes pride in what they do…well done!

  Marthas Vineyard Family Campground

  Perfectly located on the island

  I love this campground so much that I come to Martha’s Vineyard once a year to stay here. To be able to camp comfortably on this island and have access to all the island has to offer without spending an arm and a leg is what I love. You can take the ferry to Vineyard Haven ($15 round trip) and catch the island bus ($30 for a week pass) that will drop you right in front of the campground.

  It’s a rather large campground that has a lot of trees and each site is fairly large with a picnic table. At the front of the campground they have the summer RVs and about 20 rustic cabins if you’re not into tenting. This last year I stayed in a spot along the grass and it felt separate but with a great view of the office and all the activity on the grass. The camp store offers everything from postcards to air mattresses. For those of you, like myself, who don’t bring a car they even have a air pump at the office if you need it.

  There are outdoor showers and indoor showers where the bathrooms are as well as laundry facilities.

  The campground is family owned and the next generation just took over a year ago. This last Christmas they sent me a Christmas card... They are making great new changes and it definitely shows!
