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.
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.
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.
ScoutThe 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.
Camping options around Kingston, Massachusetts include a mix of state forests and private facilities within 15 minutes of Plymouth's historic sites. The area sits at the edge of southeastern Massachusetts pine barrens, with sandy soil supporting pitch pine and scrub oak forests. Winter temperatures typically range from 20-40°F, while summer months see averages between 65-85°F with moderate humidity.
Fishing at ponds and canals: At Myles Standish State Forest, multiple kettle ponds offer excellent fishing opportunities. "The pond water was very clear, seeing as they are fed from natural springs under the ponds," reports Kyle C. The campground provides access to several spring-fed ponds where anglers regularly catch sizeable fish.
Bike trail access: The Cape Cod Canal Bikeway provides miles of paved pathways near Bourne Scenic Park. "Beautiful location right along the canal that you can bike down to the beach or just to watch some fisherman reel in some massive fish," says Jaclyn P. The paved trail follows the canal with multiple access points directly from the campground.
Historic site exploration: With Plymouth just 10-15 minutes away, campers can visit Plimoth Plantation and other colonial sites. "The park is a great staging area for day trips to Plymouth and all its history as well as being an easy bike ride to the upper cape," notes Joe B. of Myles Standish. The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston is also accessible for a day trip.
Waterfront camping options: Many campsites at Charge Pond Campground offer water access. "We stay at Myles Standish every June. We stay in the charge pond area which is a smaller pond but nice and clean. There are bbqs, tables and bathrooms at the pond," writes Stephanie B. Charge Pond specifically features waterfront sites with direct access to swimming.
Varied terrain and privacy: Sites throughout the Kingston area offer different levels of seclusion. "The campground doesn't have hook ups, but there is a dump station with water and water available around the loops. While this is a large campground, it didn't feel that large as the loop probably had 50 sites," explains Kim R. about Myles Standish. Some private campgrounds feature more open layouts, while state forest sites often have greater separation between campers.
Seasonal activities and celebrations: Many campgrounds offer structured events, especially during summer and fall. "We stayed here for a few nights when they celebrated Halloween. It is super easy to get around. They had tons of festive activities," notes Liz W. about Normandy Farms Campground. Most organized activities occur between Memorial Day and Labor Day with special holiday events.
Shower facilities vary widely: State forest campgrounds typically have basic facilities. "Only used the bathroom occasionally and it was clean. We were lucky enough to get a site by the pond. There was great views from our site of the pond," reports Laurie from Pinewood Lodge Campground. Some campgrounds charge for showers while others include them.
Alcohol policies differ by location: Massachusetts state parks prohibit alcohol consumption. "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," notes Randy R. about Myles Standish. Private campgrounds generally allow alcohol with reasonable conduct expected.
Cell service limitations: Coverage is spotty throughout the region, especially in state forests. "Cell coverage is iffy in a lot of spots," mentions Desiree M. regarding Myles Standish. Campers should download maps and directions before arrival as GPS may be unreliable in certain areas.
Look for campground amenities: Ellis-Haven Family Campground features family-friendly recreation. "Very nice beach on the pond, with lots of docks and rafts to swim out to. They also rent paddle boats," reports Mike K. The beach area includes floating platforms specifically designed for children's swimming enjoyment.
Consider noise levels: Campgrounds vary widely in sound levels. "Very quiet, very clean, and the workers are very personable and polite. Been going there since I was a small kid, they never disappoint," shares Ashley D. about Pinewood Lodge. Weekdays typically offer quieter experiences than weekend camping.
Check playground availability: Some campgrounds feature extensive play areas. "The playground is being revamped and looks awesome so far," Paula T. notes about Shawme Crowell. State forest campgrounds often have more basic play equipment while private campgrounds may include elaborate playgrounds, pools, and scheduled activities.
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the region have uneven terrain. "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," warns Nancy W. about Bourne Scenic Park.
Hookup availability: Electric options vary throughout the Kingston area. "Some locations offer less space between campsites, some more. The ponds are fed from natural springs under the ponds," Kyle C. explains about Myles Standish. Most state forest campgrounds have limited or no hookups while private campgrounds offer water/electric at minimum, with some providing full hookups.
Reserve early for premium sites: The best glamping and RV spots book months ahead. "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," advises Janet P. For glamping in Kingston, Massachusetts, reservations should be made 3-6 months in advance for prime summer weekends.
