ScoutWe just camped here for the first time over Columbus Day Weekend with a few other families. Great weekend to come - seasonal campers go all out decorating for Halloween. There are tons of activities for all ages: trick or treating one night, DJ/dance Saturday and Sunday, bingo/horseshoe/cornhole tournaments during the day.
Overall, the place isn’t fancy, but it’s well maintained, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the facilities are clean. It’s very laid back and no one busts your chops. They do daily trash pickups from your site, pump outs and wood delivery upon request, etc.
There are kids everywhere on bikes and running around, so cars actually drive slowly throughout, which is nice.
Sites are a bit close together. Our site F13 was very close to the pavilion but had some trees/woods blocking that made it feel more secluded.
Quiet hours at 11pm wasn’t ideal for camping with a toddler. The DJ goes until 10:30 and it is LOUD. Not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of, especially if you are close to the pavilion.
TravelerWe 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.
GuideWe were delighted when we learned we had the little peninsula of site P1 all to ourselves. Stunning views across the large pond, and serving as a wonderful halfway rest/respite on the journey from NYC to Belfast, ME. We felt like we were on top of the world, discovering this perfect quiet nook and basking in nature’s splendor.
I can only speak for the camping on this peninsula/land, but the rest of the sites looked cozy, family-friendly, and fun. Cabins and RV sites across the lake, along with beaches for swimming. Bathrooms located on P1 peninsula. Canoe rentals on-site. Lovely picnic dining area alongside covered bridge and waterfall. Completely picturesque and, mostly, totally peaceful!
ScoutThis was my first time at this campground and I have to say, it was a great place to stay. I camp with my dog and sometimes I want to explore places that he can't go. Sweetwater Forest has a small doggy day care where I can safely leave him and not worry. It's air conditioned and they have mellow music on.
The comfort stations were clean and the showers have hot water and there's an outdoor sink & counter to wash dishes. The camp store is stocked with food and camping gear you may have forgotten or broke.
The campsites that I saw are not right on top of each other, my site was a little above the other sites near me and the foot path to the bathroom was clearly marked and clear.
The staff were friendly and although I did not have children with me, they have a lot of things for kids to do. There's an arcade, playground, basketball court and arcade. I definitely plan on going back and would recommend it to others.
TravelerSweetwater Forest has pleasant, secluded sites. This was the quietest campground during "quiet hours" that I've ever visited. Walking my dog late at night or early in the morning was absolutely silent. The camp store was well stocked and offered hot coffee and a variety of grocery items. There are a lot of touristy Cape spots a short drive away. It sits adjacent to a small horse farm, so that adds to the ambiance.
TravelerThere 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!
GuideBeautiful campsite, nice sized sites surrounded by trees so it felt pretty private. Bathrooms and showers well maintained, 25 cents for 5 minute shower. No cell service but wifi available at the office. Only thing we didn't like washere a lot of people walking dogs and let them "go" wherever.

Located about 30 miles south of Boston in Plymouth County, this region sits between 70-100 feet above sea level in a transitional zone between coastal and inland ecosystems. Seasonal temperatures vary dramatically, with summer highs averaging 82°F and winter camping options limited by New England's cold temperatures and frequent snowfall.
Beach access for swimming and fishing: At Pinewood Lodge Campground, visitors appreciate the sandy swimming areas near their sites. "We were lucky enough to get a site by the pond. There was great views from our site of the pond. On the site there was also a path down to a little dock on the pond that you could sit and relax on," notes a camper named Laurie.
Trail exploration through pine forests: Myles Standish State Forest features extensive hiking and biking paths through typical New England woodlands. "There are several miles of bile trails that were very enjoyable," one reviewer mentions, while another adds: "Swimming, fishing, camping, hiking, trails, boating and more await."
Off-season activities for winter campers: Some campgrounds remain accessible during colder months. "We stayed here in October and it was a little too chilly for us to camp but we gave it a shot," says Gina M. about Shawme Crowell State Forest, noting that "the campground wasn't too big and the sites offered a lot of privacy, and some hiking trails within the campground."
Privacy between sites: Many visitors highlight the spacious layout of certain campgrounds. At Barretts Pond Campground, a reviewer noted, "Cozy little loop at MSSF, with a lot of variation in quality across the lots, but generally good spacing and great views."
Water-based recreation options: Multiple ponds throughout the region offer swimming and fishing. "Nice clear pond to swim in. The pond water was very clear, seeing as they are fed from natural springs under the ponds," explains a visitor to Myles Standish State Forest.
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Campground upkeep rates highly among reviewers. At Pinewood Lodge, Stephen R. notes it's a "Very quiet place, beautiful sites nice fireplaces bathrooms are close by and clean," though he adds he "Don't care for the coin operating showers."
Site leveling challenges: Be prepared with blocks for leveling at some campgrounds. At Bourne Scenic Park, Nancy W. observed that "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."
Noise considerations: Traffic sound can affect certain campgrounds. At Shawme Crowell, one camper mentioned, "It is also very close to Rt 6 so the traffic noise is almost constant especially friday nights. Not recommended for light sleepers but very convenient."
Alcohol restrictions: State facilities have different rules than private campgrounds. "When you are sitting by the campfire, sometimes, chilling with a beer or another adult beverage is nice. Not in Massachusetts State Parks. No alcohol allowed," warns Randy R. about regulations at Myles Standish State Forest.
Activity-focused campgrounds for children: Boston/Cape Cod KOA offers numerous child-friendly options. "The activities for kids is the draw for this campground for sure. My kids loved the train rides, movie night, flash light candy hunt, and arts and crafts," shares Amy G., who visited with three children.

"During the busy summer months there is a long list of activities ranging from yoga to kids games," noted one reviewer about Normandy Farms Campground, while another camper shared, "We stayed here for a few nights when they celebrated Halloween 🎃. It is super easy to get around. They had tons of festive activities."
Site selection considerations: Choose carefully based on noise preferences. About Boston/Cape Cod KOA, Janet P. advises: "I have belong to KOA's for quite a few years and I have learned that you really need to upgrade to the better campsites to enjoy your stay... I'll never book The basic campsite again I'll pay the few extra dollars to have a bigger site it's so worth it."
Hookup limitations: Some campgrounds have partial amenities only. At Shawme Crowell State Forest, a visitor noted: "No sites have sewer; however, grey water dump stations are randomly placed throughout the campground and can be accessed with a garden hose."
Seasonal availability and booking: Plan ahead for peak periods, especially for luxury camping options. Kirk S. points out that Boston/Cape Cod KOA is "a busy campground due to its location. Easy access to Boston, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Plymouth, Newport, and many more attractions. I recommend having reservations if you want to stay at this campground, between Memorial Day and Labor Day."
