RangerCape ann has everything you need for an easy, hassle free camp experience. It’s right off the main road, checking in is quick and employees are helpful. There is a corner store, bathrooms, picnic tables, fire pit, cell service, and close beach access. Everything you need for a beginner camping experience.
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.
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.
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!
ScoutI’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.
GuideGreat family campground. The place is very clean. NIce to have both indoor and outdoor showers. The store has plenty of useful items. Staff is friendly and helpful. They have lots of activities and concerts for families. The drive around in a golf cart in the evenings checking on campers and making sure everyone is abiding by the quiet hours. We stayed in a one room cabin with confortable beds.

Privacy between sites: Many campgrounds in the area offer good separation between camping spots. At Barretts Pond Campground, a camper appreciated that there's "generally good spacing and great views. The stuff further out tends to feel more remote."

Access to Boston Harbor Islands: For a unique experience, Boston Harbor Islands State Park offers island camping with urban views.

Reservation timing: For popular sites, advance planning is crucial. A camper at Boston Harbor Islands advised, "These sites book quickly, so you should try to book 7 months to the day in advance. That said, you can also look for last minute openings."

Site selection matters: At Normandy Farms Campground, an RVer advised, "Campsites are big and well spaced. Bathrooms are best of any campground."
Leveling challenges: Be prepared for uneven terrain at some locations. At Bourne Scenic Park, one RVer noted, "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."

Site sizing concerns: Some campgrounds have tight spaces between RVs. A camper at Bourne Scenic Park warned, "Sites are way too close together. Felt like I was camping with the people on the next site."
