Old Chatham Road RV Resort and Campers Haven RV Resort offer year-round full hookup sites for motorhomes traveling to Cape Cod. Old Chatham operates from April 15 to October 31 with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections, while Campers Haven in Dennisport extends its season from May through November. Most sites feature level gravel pads, picnic tables, and trash service, though RV spacing can be tight at peak times, particularly for larger units. Peters Pond RV Resort includes big rig friendly sites with 50-amp service, full hookups, and access to pond recreation. "The sites are a little tight to maneuver if you have a large rig," noted one camper at Old Chatham Road.
Several RV campgrounds in the Chatham area require advance reservations during summer months, with limited availability for impromptu stays. Sanitary dump stations are available at most facilities including Sweetwater Forest in Brewster and the Thousand Trails Gateway to Cape Cod in Rochester. Many resorts permit pets but enforce strict leash policies and designated pet areas. AT&T and Verizon service varies by location, with one visitor noting, "AT&T hotspot worked well even for zoom calls. Verizon on my phone a bit weak." RV campgrounds typically provide limited camp store supplies, though most are positioned within easy driving distance of Cape Cod's amenities and beaches.

Coastal Acres Campground
Another wonderful month long vacation at Coastal Acres Campground! Anna and the wonderful staff made our visit a pleasure. We needed an air conditioner repaired/replaced during our stay. Anna and Rob gave us a list of local mobile RV repair Companies. They also lended a fan to us to use until the repair was completed. We can't thank them enough for everything they did to help make our stay comfortable and fun! We will be back!!

Last minute booking
We had to book last minute due to an unforeseen issue with a different booking. They did not require booking 1+ days in advance as some other campsites and they even upgraded our site from just water and electric to include sewer and a pull through! They don't have all the bells and whistles and the bath house could do with some upgrades, but the staff are friendly and so far people are friendly too, even when our small dog was barking, our site neighbors were unperturbed and awarded our little fearful guy some grace.

Nice sites, 1 mile from the National Seashore beach! Nice hiking trails, Payomet music, Highland Lighthouse, all within easy walking distance.

Older, run down campground
We stayed a couple nights at the beginning of the season to open up the camper and while there was still obvious cleaning and grounds work to be done before peak season, the age and condition of the facilities was worn, tired, and needing a deep clean. Roads were pretty rutted in places, and it appears that most of the sites are seasonal occupants rather than transient visitors. Rates are cheaper for full hookups than many other places, but you get what you pay for.

As expected except…
This was camping in a meadow with 4 other campers. The sites are wide open but well- spaced. FHU were fine. Unfortunately, the field hadn’t been mowed in quite a while so it was truly a meadow. Free laundry at Wings Inn was busy but convenient. It was nice to access the pool at the rec center.
