    Sweetwater Forest

    My New Go To Campground in Cape Cod.

    This 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.

    Sweetwater Forest

    Quiet, clean, and in a lovely location

    Sweetwater 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.

    Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

    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.

    Indianhead Resort

    Good people, needs updating

    The staff here is friendly and helpful whenever you call.

    The property itself is in need of updating. The bathrooms work well enough, but they are in need of a significant amount of maintenance.

    The sites are kept clean and have water and electric (some may be by powercord). The tent sites do not offer much separation in the area I stayed.

    The sites do have plenty of room for a tent, vehicle and each have their own fire pit and picnic table.

    It does have the ability for people to do several recreational activities on site: walking trails, beach, volleyball, basket ball.

    I stayed a couple nights and had a good stay overall.

    Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

    Good Campground, Great Location

    This campground was recently bought by Sun RV so there already some changes happening- the arcade room is closed and being remodeled and they now allow you to use your own boat (non motor) on the pond which is a definite improvement. Mini golf and the pools are nothing special. We have camped here every summer for 4 years in a “glamp” site which is large with fire pit. The staff has always been friendly and we even projected a movie 4th of July outdoors with no issue. That being said, we use this mostly as a location to do other things- Old Silver Beach is 10 minutes down the road as is the Shining Sea Bike path. Downtown Falmouth is 10 minutes away as well where you have great restaurants, shops and the ferry to the islands.

    Charge Pond Campground — Myles Standish State Forest

    Camping, biking and kayaking

    Over Memorial Day weekend, we camped at Myles Standish. We were in the Charged Pond area, in loop F. The campground doesn't have hook ups, but there is a dump station with water and water available around the loops. The lower part of the camp ground is set up in different loops. While this is a large campground, it didn't feel that large as the loop probably had 50 sites. Our site was wooded and pretty private for a state campground. We had plenty of room and the site had a fire pit and picnic table. Each loop has one bathhouse. Ours, unfortunately, did not have hot water. We were told if we wanted it, we could go to any of the other loops. The bathrooms had two showers and three stalls, two sinks. There were at least three outlets in the women's room which was convenient for a quick cell phone charge. 

    The check in process was a little challenging. We arrived later in the day and had hoped to get our pop up set up by dark, but the check in process took almost 30 mins between waiting in line and a VERY slow attendant. He was more worried about my out of state phone number than getting us checked in. He also kept trying to put us in a different section of the campground. I finally pulled up my reservation to show him that I was in the Charged Pond area. 

    Our daughters rate campgrounds by their bathrooms. I was pleasantly surprised that they received at least one cleaning during our time there. But regardless, the bathrooms weren't that clean. It wasn't the worst bathroom (thanks Yosemite for setting that standard), but it could have been a little more attended to. It scored a - "not so bad that we'd never come back" rating from the girls. 

    The bike trails through the part are great and we enjoyed them. Paved and mountain bike trails. The map they give you at check in isn't very good - hard to read and a little blurry. We picked up a nice printed, folded map at the visitor's center in town and it was much nicer and easier to read the trails. Take the map with you as the bike trails were a little confusing.

    We also enjoyed the various kettle ponds. We kayaked one morning and enjoyed watching the people catching good sized fish around us. The beach (at least at Charged Pond) had a nice sandy section and a bathhouse. 

    The town of Plymouth is about a 10 min. drive if you need anything. We never saw a camp store or even a place to get ice. But we didn't look that hard either. 

    I was surprised that it was fairly quite and not busier on a holiday weekend. We felt most people respected quiet hours and there were even empty sites in our loop. 

    We will definitely go back. It was a nice, quick getaway.

    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

    Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground

    Good but a little boring

    I like this campground because it is close to home.  There isn't much to do here within the campground.  It has two areas.  The one nearer the camp entrance is smaller than the second.  The second one has a playground while the first one does not.  I would not recommend the first area if you have small children for this reason.  The playground is being revamped and looks awesome so far.  Unfortunately the bathroom right next to it is closed while the playground is being updated.  It is very hilly but many people enjoy riding their bikes here.  When driving, be careful of them.  I've hiked the trails and you have to be careful. They aren't always well maintained or marked.  They are right next to the main highway so you get car noise and can usually see them as well.  I find them to be uninteresting.  There is no swimming on site either.  On the positive side, the campground is within driving distance of great fishing, biking and tourist areas.

    Nickerson State Park Campground

    It's all about the section you choose

    We stayed three days at the park in August in section 6X. The sites in the park are varied. I deliberately picked our site (#146) in 6X because it looked like it was one of the larger sites and had more privacy. Which it did. The sites along that section were quite large, spacious and wooded. Many of the sites in the park are right on the roads. These were large enough that you could set up your tent or trailer further back off the road and still have a good amount of space. Next to us was a large 5th wheel camper which took up most of the site so even the large sites are hard for the very large campers. Our loop was very quiet, which we appreciated. Each site had a fire pit and picnic table. There were potable water spigots around the campground loop as well as at the dumpstation. There are also dumpsters and recycle bins throughout the park. 

    The bathrooms were pretty clean. The bathhouse which is located near the front of the loops for 6 and 6X were not. But the shower stalls were plentiful (probably 10 in the bathhouse in the women's side) and free. There was good pressure and hot water. Take note, though, the bathhouse only had one toilet. 

    The check in was easy and informative. There are ranger programs and that information is posted at the camp store, the check in and the bathhouse. The camp store is well stocked and you can get ice and firewood there. 

    We enjoyed the bike paths and the kettle ponds while we were there. If you have kayaks or floats, definitely bring them. The kettle ponds are great for small water craft. And there are plenty of bike paths throughout the park as well as the Cape Cod rail trail. 

    I was concerned that we would feel crowded and the park would be loud. But our section was just fine and we had a wonderful visit.


Guide to Edgartown

Massachusetts camping near Edgartown offers access to both coastal environments and inland forests. The region's maritime climate creates moderate temperatures even in summer, with daytime highs typically in the 70s-80s°F. Many campgrounds remain open from April through October, with limited winter camping options available at Shawme Crowell State Forest, which maintains year-round operation.

What to Do

Cape Cod Canal biking and fishing: Bourne Scenic Park provides direct access to the Cape Cod Canal bike path. "The path to walk or bike was well kept and overall it was a beautiful place to be!" says Paige R. "Perfect location right along the canal that you can bike down to the beach or just to watch some fisherman reel in some massive fish," notes Jaclyn P.

Swimming in kettle ponds: Nickerson State Park Campground offers freshwater swimming alternatives to ocean beaches. "The clean, freshwater swimming at the kettle ponds (which are usually uncrowded and within less than a minute's walk from our campsite) is incredible," explains phil Y. The park features multiple ponds for swimming, fishing and boating.

Explore by bicycle: Many Cape Cod campgrounds connect to the region's extensive bike trail network. "The bike system in this Campground is truly awesome and allows access to the whole park- great place for a good ride!" reports Molly G. The Cape Cod Rail Trail runs through Nickerson State Park, providing miles of paved cycling.

Fishing in multiple environments: Scusset Beach State Reservation offers diverse fishing options. "If you like fishing this is your place," notes Rick R. The reservation provides access to both Cape Cod Bay and canal fishing opportunities, with many anglers gathering at dawn along the jetty.

What Campers Like

Private, secluded sites: Sweetwater Forest in Brewster provides wooded campsites with natural separation. "Sweetwater Forest has pleasant, secluded sites. This was the quietest campground during 'quiet hours' that I've ever visited," says Grace M. Another camper notes, "We were on site B17 and it was perfect. Complete 360 privacy, well wooded, and just what was needed."

Year-round camping options: Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground offers camping throughout the year. "Great forest. Nothing like the rest of cape cod. Lots of pines and trails through the woods. Plenty of space/availability," explains Matt H. The pine forest setting creates a different experience than coastal campgrounds.

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses and amenities. "One of the cleanest campgrounds we have been too. Given everything going on with Covid-19 we were very impressed with how clean everything was around the campground including the camp store and bathrooms," notes Jaclyn P. about Bourne Scenic Park.

Yurt camping near Edgartown: Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground offers yurt accommodations for those seeking alternative lodging options. "The yurts kind of suck. Kind of dirty, but would keep you real dry if it got wet," advises Michael K. Yurt camping options around Edgartown provide shelter with basic amenities.

What You Should Know

Traffic and noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience road noise. "Very hilly but many people enjoy riding their bikes here. When driving, be careful of them," warns Paula T. At Bourne Scenic Park, "Highway noise" and "BRIDGE TRAFFIC- if you know you know" are mentioned by Our Greight Escape as considerations.

Reservation planning: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially for summer weekends. "This spot fills up quick so reservations well ahead of time are needed," advises Virginia W. about Nickerson State Park. For Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins, booking early is essential for premium sites.

Site selection matters: Campground layouts vary significantly. "Booked site in early July for Sept stay. Paid for a premium glamping site 2200 Sq ft with paver patio. Didn't pay site lock fee... Arrived and was given a site in 'motorhome row'. Very small and no paver patio," reports LL J. Researching specific site options before booking is recommended.

Seasonal differences: Many campgrounds change dramatically between peak and off-season periods. "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," notes Nancy W. Shoulder season camping offers quieter experiences with more availability.

Tips for Camping with Families

Playground options: Charge Pond Campground — Myles Standish State Forest provides multiple play areas. "No electric, one water spout per every few sites, and multiple loops with different features, it's perfect for all. Swimming, fishing, camping, hiking, trails, boating and more await," says Katie D. The campground's facilities support diverse family activities.

Kid-friendly programming: Many campgrounds offer scheduled activities for children. "This is the perfect family campground with lots of activities for the whole family during the on season. Your whole family will be entertained," notes Judy P. about Cape Cod's Maple Park Campground.

Swimming alternatives: Freshwater ponds provide swimming options when ocean conditions aren't ideal. "Spent many summers here as a kid and was fun to return with my family. We did tent camping here and didn't really explore the grounds. But, our spot was nice," shares Douglas L. about Shawme Crowell State Forest.

Bathroom considerations: Facilities vary widely between campgrounds. "The comfort stations were clean and the showers have hot water and there's an outdoor sink & counter to wash dishes," reports Kelly R. about Sweetwater Forest. However, at Boston/Cape Cod KOA, "There were long lines for showers every night and the showers were very outdated and not clean at all," according to Amy G.

Tips from RVers

Hookup limitations: Peters Pond RV Resort offers full-service sites, but availability can be limited. "The only disappointment was that they did not have a fire pit at the rented cabin that we were allowed to use," notes John D. Many campgrounds lack sewer connections at RV sites.

Premium site selection: Many RVers recommend upgrading from basic sites. "I have learned that you really need to upgrade to the better campsites to enjoy your stay. With that being said I did not take my own advice and I booked a basic 30 amp fullhook up campsite and it was so tight that unfortunately I did not enjoy it," shares Janet P. about Boston/Cape Cod KOA.

Leveling challenges: Site topography varies throughout the region. "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," reports Nancy W. about Bourne Scenic Park.

Gray water management: Some campgrounds have unique systems for handling waste water. "No sites have sewer; however, grey water dump stations are randomly placed throughout the campground and can be accessed with a garden hose," explains Nancy W. These details are important for planning longer stays.
