    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Southeastern Massachusetts features several established campgrounds within a 30-minute drive of Dighton, with Massasoit State Park Campground in East Taunton being the closest option. This state park offers both tent and RV camping with electric hookups in a wooded setting. The broader region includes a mix of state-managed properties and private resorts like Normandy Farms in Foxborough and Boston/Cape Cod KOA in Middleboro, which provide more amenities and recreational facilities. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, typically from May through September or October, with a few extending their seasons from April through November.

    Camping reservations are essential during summer months when facilities fill quickly, especially on weekends. Most state parks in Massachusetts prohibit alcohol consumption, a regulation that surprises some visitors. According to one camper at Myles Standish State Forest, "When you are sitting by the campfire, sometimes, chilling with a beer or another adult beverage is nice. Not in Massachusetts State Parks." The region experiences typical New England weather patterns with humid summers and occasional thunderstorms. Ticks can be problematic at some locations, particularly coastal sites like Horseneck Beach State Reservation where one visitor noted, "The tick situation was just very difficult. We drowned ourselves in tick spray, but the ticks were overwhelming."

    Many campgrounds near Dighton serve as convenient basecamps for exploring Cape Cod, Boston, and Providence. Visitors frequently mention highway noise as a common drawback at several locations, with sites closer to Interstate 495 being particularly affected. Families appreciate the playgrounds and recreational facilities at larger campgrounds like Normandy Farms, which one reviewer described as "glamping to the max" with amenities including "snack bar, pools, and frisbee golf." Privacy levels vary significantly between campgrounds and even within the same facility. At Wompatuck State Park, a camper noted, "Some of the sites on the loop were basically a driveway surrounded by a ditch, which made them quite small and not as appealing. Most had reasonable privacy from adjacent sites, however."

      Fort Getty Campground

      Great location!

      Fort Getty campground was in an incredible location to Jamestown and with many things to do in the park itself. The tent sites are open field style and some groups can get big so be ready for that. We had tent site 6 and it was tucked back in its own little area which was an awesome surprise. Overall we had a quick stay and everyone we encountered was friendly, bathrooms are older but a short walk from tent area. The access the Jamestown and the surrounding areas and views is what makes this place totally worth it!

      Mashamoquet Brook Campground — Mashamoquet Brook State Park

      Cozy Rustic Campground

      Due to the heat wave, I opted not to spend the night, but we did roll through and check out the area. First thing we noticed is how close and open the sites were, with a few exceptions. I attached photos of the more secluded sites I plan to choose next time. Site 49 is what I had reserved and it was large and partially secluded. The bathroom buildings are boarded up across the campground and state park with port o potties in front. I was not eager to check those out… a bucket started feeling like the safer option lol It was quiet but on the more secluded sites, there was ample road noise and you could see the road from some sites. I didn’t get a chance to look for the walkway to the park and river, but I plan to next time. The state park and river nearby was beautiful and quiet and serene with smattering Fourth of July picnics. Overall, I plan to return here when the weather is more cooperative and my car camper is better equipped :)

      Indianhead Resort

      Worst place to RV

      Long review from a long-term camper, but if you’re considering staying here, it’s worth the read so you know what you’re paying for. My husband and I have stayed here for the past three years, and this year has been, without question, the worst experience we’ve had. We prepaid for a 6-month stay, expecting a quiet, well-managed campground. Instead, we’ve dealt with inconsistency, poor communication, and management that seems focused on the wrong priorities. Before the campground was even fully open, we came to prepare our camper because there were already other campers on the property. While we were there, a woman repeatedly followed us around and watched us before finally approaching us. Rather than treating us like returning guests who have stayed here for years, we were made to feel like we didn’t belong and were questioned as if we were trespassing or trying to live here for free. Ironically, people who don’t even pay to stay here regularly park on the property to use the lake without anyone questioning them. Apparently, paying customers receive more scrutiny than people who aren’t customers at all. Because of that interaction, we were told we couldn’t return for weeks. When we were finally allowed back, our electricity hadn’t even been turned on, and we had to wait while no one seemed particularly concerned about getting it working. Then, completely out of the blue, we were told we had a past-due balance that had supposedly existed all along. At no point were we ever notified. No phone call. No email. No letter. No conversation. Yet somehow we were expected to fix a problem we didn’t even know existed. Meanwhile, the issues that actually affect paying guests continue to be ignored. On weekends and almost every holiday, large groups takes over the campground with 20+ tents, blasting music well into the night and early morning with absolutely no respect for the people who actually pay to stay here. They spread out wherever they want, take over common areas, and even park in front of occupied campsites to the point that we’ve had trouble getting into our own site. Even worse, people were plugging into our electrical service without permission, causing our camper to repeatedly short circuit. We eventually had to install a lock on our own electrical box because management did nothing to stop it after it was brought to their attention. That’s what makes this so frustrating. Management seems incredibly quick to police long-term residents over minor issues, yet has no problem looking the other way while other people take over the campground, block campsites, disturb everyone around them, use utilities they aren’t paying for, damage property, and ignore every basic campground rule. The former management understood that people who spend thousands of dollars to stay here deserve a safe, enjoyable, and well-managed campground. Rules were enforced. Problems were addressed. Paying guests mattered. Now it feels like the people causing the problems face no consequences, while the people paying to be here are the ones expected to tolerate them. I also wouldn’t recommend this campground for families. The“playground” looks like it hasn’t been properly maintained in a very long time and honestly looks like it could earn a child a tetanus shot instead of a fun afternoon. The basketball hoop has been broken, and the laundry area is tucked behind some of the dirtiest bathrooms on the property, surrounded by overgrown grass. None of it reflects the kind of campground this used to be. It’s disappointing because this campground had so much potential and used to be a place we genuinely enjoyed returning to every year. Unfortunately, poor management and a complete lack of consistency have changed that. If you are looking for a campground, there are way better options in the surrounding area with better amenities and better people.

      Hanscom AFB FamCamp

      Worst Military Campground

      Published rules are can only be here for 30 days with a three week extension possible. The fact is at least half of the spaces are occupied by full time residents with one resident stating she has been here for two years. The airfield noise is excessive during the day. The airfield closes at 11 PM so at least it is not all night long. We booked a pull through and they wanted to put us in a small back in site with shared utilities. I put my foot down and was given a pull through. On a positive note, the bath house is clean and the laundry room is not over priced

      Hide-A-Way Cove Campground

      Just okay

      When we arrived at our site we were instantly greeted with an angry resident. He started shooing us away as we were trying to park our camper at our site. He needed to back out and leave but we had only been there no more than 3 minutes before he popped up angrily. There are a lot of long term campers there. Very very unkept campers. Broken down, damaged, some look unlivable. Some may not like the dozens of cats everywhere, but I did. It’s fun to spot a new cat roaming around the campground. The pool is nice and clean. The playground is cute. The Arcade is not worth going to. A lot of the games were broken or empty. Bikes are NOT allowed. My 8 year old son was riding his bike and we were told he couldn’t do that at this campground. The pond/beach area is beautiful. You can try fishing in it. We didn’t catch anything. I definitely don’t suggest swimming in it. It’s not clean enough for that. Camp “store” is very minimal in what they have. Mostly little candy and some minor essentials. There is also a little restaurant attached to the camp store. I like that the sites were grass and not dirt. Or site did not have sewer. We had to go to the dump station to empty black water.

      Newport RV Park

      Clean sites, good location.

      We stayed here a number of years ago when it was Milleville Ponds Campground and what an improvement! The park is really clean, well mowed, well-packed gravel roads and camping pads. No problem for big-rigs. There are some seasonals but their sites were tidy. About half the campsites are in the woods and half in the open. There are some deluxe sites with paved patios and nicer fire pits but they are really close together and no shade. We really liked our site (#400) which was gravel, long and level. (We would choose 401 if we came back.) The patio had nice grass which our dog loved. The utilities were well-placed and the electric legs were good at 124 volts. I called to see if there was cable tv because there was a connection on our post and was told that some sites had cable. But, when I hooked it up, we didn’t get any channels; however, we got about 60 over-the-air tv channels. Great wifi. Not much for amenities, just a pavilion and playground. There is a public dog park just outside the park that is really big and you can walk a ¼ mile to a hiking trail. There are three airstreams and a 3-bedroom house for rent. The bath house is centrally located. Unfortunately, they are not super close to the tent sites and there is no path through campsites so you either have to walk around or cut through someone’s site. It took us anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to get downtown (depending on traffic). There are few restaurants nearby and a grocery less than ten minutes away. Overall, we liked how clean and well-kept the park was and enjoyed our site. We stayed eight nights with the average nightly cost at $81and would come back if in the area.

      Indianhead Resort

      Great Old School Campground

      We had a great stay at Indianhead Resort! The management was wonderful and very helpful. The sites were very spacious and private, which made it feel relaxing and comfortable for our family. The playgrounds are a little older, but our two-year-old absolutely loved the swings and had a great time. Overall, it was a great family-friendly campground experience!

      Gibson Hill RV Park

      Worst I've Been To Blatant Deceptive Advertising

      Let me save you from making a grave mistake. The campground was quiet. That's the best thing I can say about Gibson Hill after spending a week there. Totally unkempt and in disarray. The roads are a rocky, dusty rutted mess. The campsites while some newly graveled, not well I might add, are not level. The electric at my site kept tripping off. I finally discovered, with no help from the non-existent management, that the service disconnect breaker was bad. Luckily I had an extra 30A cord and was able to plug into the unoccupied adjacent site. How this abomination has any 5 star reviews is above my pay grade. During the week we were here we never saw a camp representative. We were not welcomed by anyone affiliated with the campground and I never saw anyone on duty in the office. The is NO weekly entertainment. There is NO weekly bonfire. THERE IS NO POOL. Our site had no picnic table and no fire ring and had areas dotted with clumps of gray fur. Obviously noone had inspected our site for cleanliness prior to our arrival. Our first visitor was a 4' rat snake. There was debris strewn all over the grounds. There was one trash container. Unlined and uncovered. No dog poop bags or signs regarding poop pickup. There was a lot of demolition but no new construction ongoing. The“pool” is a 4’ deep square under construction and far from being completed. The“resort” signage was a joke. It took me 3 tries to find my way out of the campground. The entrance sign is installed parallel to the road rather than perpendicular to it for visibility. The number of decrepit or abandoned trailers on site was unbelievable. We were never told if the campground was under new management and/or under going refurbishment. In any event it was missing the mark. Unfortunately we paid for a week in advance so we were stuck here. NEVER AGAIN. I’m leaving this truthful review so no other potential campers are duped into staying here. Definitely an absentee owner who doesn't have a clue. Really too bad because the location and grounds have enormous potential. I will let Happy Grounds and RV LIFE know of my great disappointment and suspect reviews. By the way, to the reviewer who said they enjoyed the pool. THERE IS NO POOL. There is NO on-site management.

      Holiday Acres Campground

      Worse campground ever

      There site map lies. Noisy people. Tons of loud kids. Uneven site. Marijuana smoke by me. Was to stay 3 nights but left the next morning. Total nightmare. And the dust. Even with everything shut up it fill the RV.


    Guide to Dighton

Located in Bristol County with elevations rarely exceeding 100 feet, the area experiences average summer high temperatures around 82°F with humidity levels often exceeding 70%. Campsites in this flat, coastal region feature predominantly pine and oak woodland settings, with sandy soil conditions typical of southeastern Massachusetts.

    What to do

    Biking trails access: Massasoit State Park Campground offers miles of biking paths through eastern Massachusetts woodland. "Best biking trails around! Campground is not currently open, but should be again by summer of 2018! In the meantime, perfect place for running, walking, hiking, biking, fishing, and exploring," notes Katie D. about the Massasoit State Park Campground.

    Fishing opportunities: Multiple ponds provide fishing spots within 30 minutes of Dighton. "Great campsite. I used to come here all the time when I was a kid and was so excited when it opened back up... The boys had a blast swimming and kayaking at the pond and there was another comfort station right at the water," writes Tara A. about the recently renovated facilities.

    Hiking and wildlife viewing: Wompatuck State Park Campground has extensive trail networks suitable for all skill levels. "We had a lot of fun camping at Wompatuck. Definitely bring bikes to do some exploring. We found a large pond and an underground bunker to venture into," shares Jess G., highlighting the exploration potential.

    Beach access: Some campgrounds provide direct ocean access within a reasonable drive from Dighton. "This campground is primarily RVs, although we still had a nice time at our tent site. The beach is only a few hundred feet away, and the campground has basic facilities," writes Lyssa M. about waterfront camping experiences in the region.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Site separation varies widely among campgrounds near Dighton. "The sites were large and shady but don't have water or electric. The bath houses are clean and accessible," notes Stephanie B. about the Myles Standish State Forest camping experience, where the natural spacing creates a more secluded feeling.

    Clean facilities: Bathroom and shower quality receives frequent mention in reviews. "I loved our campsite. But the staff was pretty rude," comments Justine I., showing how facility quality can offset other concerns at some campgrounds.

    Well-maintained grounds: Many campers appreciate the upkeep at campgrounds near Dighton. "Very clean tent site are amazing great place to camp and fish and hike great place to take a dog," mentions Kimbo K. about Newport RV Park, highlighting the multi-use aspects of well-maintained campgrounds.

    Site selection options: Campgrounds offer varying levels of shade, privacy, and amenities. "Just reopened this summer and they did a great job on everything. Nice sites, great playground for the kids," mentions Craig G., demonstrating the diverse site preferences of different campers.

    What you should know

    Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate from spring through fall, with varying amenities throughout the season. "The tick situation was just very difficult. We drowned ourselves in tick spray, but the ticks were overwhelming," reports Happy Camper L. about Horseneck Beach State Reservation, highlighting a significant seasonal concern in coastal areas.

    Wildlife concerns: Insects can impact camping comfort, especially in humid summer months. "So I stayed here last year with a large group we had 3 sites, and omg the bees were horrible, Im not sure what was going on, we finally ended up having to buy a screen house, they were that bad," cautions Brandy G.

    Noise levels: Some campgrounds experience higher noise levels due to nearby roads or busy weekends. "The campgrounds themselves are really nice, but considering there are about 400 spots, you may find that some area's are more to your liking when it comes to things like more sun or more shade," advises Kyle C., noting that weekdays often provide a quieter experience.

    Campground rules: Regulations vary between campgrounds, particularly regarding alcohol and quiet hours. "Know what you are getting... This is a family resort that charges $20/per night, per person, OVER the two people rate. It is loud, crowded, with golf carts and kids running around," warns Kathleen S. about one campground's policies.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground amenities: Several campgrounds feature updated play equipment for children. "It is super easy to get around. They had tons of festive activities. They have an indoor and an outdoor pool. The restrooms are clean. I highly recommend staying here," shares Liz W. about Normandy Farms Campground.

    Swimming options: Ponds and pools provide cooling recreation during summer months. "We wanted to explore the Cape and are members of the KOA rewards program so we chose here to stay... As we pulled around the office we saw all kinds of activities for kids. Bouncy 'pillow', pool, bounce pad, sluice, miniature golf, and a playground," describes Samantha S. about Boston/Cape Cod KOA.

    Activities scheduling: Many campgrounds offer organized events, especially during weekends. "This is one of the best campgrounds you will ever come to, it is beautiful, manicured, has a number of pools and a rec hall filled with things to do... They have multiple activities for adults and children," explains Sandie B.

    Budget planning: Fees for guests, activities, and amenities vary widely between campgrounds. "It is a little on the pricey side, but has great amenities for campers with kids and pets. Not a fan of gravel sites (would have preferred grass), and the sites are really close together, but there was always plenty to do," notes Cendy G.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling needs: Many campsites near Dighton require leveling blocks due to uneven terrain. "Sites are nice and level and large. Vegetation between sites for privacy," comments Amie C. about site conditions at Pinewood Lodge Campground, where flat sites are specifically mentioned.

    Hookup availability: Full-service sites fill quickly during peak season. "Heavily treed and shaded campground, extremely large to walk from front to back. Had good kids crafts. Loved the easy access to Cape Cod, Plymouth, and Boston," notes Michael J., adding a caution about tree sap that can accumulate on vehicles.

    RV size restrictions: Some campgrounds have limitations for larger rigs. "The park is a mix of seasonal and transient campers. Site types include full hook-up (max 30 amp), water/electric only, dry camping, and a large tent section," explains Nancy W. about site configurations.

    Dump station access: Multiple campgrounds offer dump facilities with varying locations and convenience. "We positioned ourselves close to a water spigot to refill our fresh water, we had a generator that we were able to use between 7am & 10pm and there is a dump on site," shares Happy Camper L. about managing without full hookups.
