The Martha’s Vineyard Campground began as a vacant wooded lot in 1968. The land was purchased by Charles and Jeanne Feeney from a retired doctor living in Vineyard Haven. Charles “Chuck” Feeney was an aerospace engineer at the time and was always taking his kids camping. His dream was to have a place for the family to camp and call it their own. So together with his wife and five children he converted a bus into a camper and carved out a site amongst the wild blueberry bushes and scrub oak trees. Our family fell in love with the island. We discovered all the island has to offer and found it irresistible. We were the tourists of yesteryear and what attracted our family back then still exists today: beautiful beaches, fabulous fishing, quaint villages and amazing sunsets. From the rolling hills of Aquinnah to the dunes of Katama, there is no place on earth like it. Amenities: -Indoor Restrooms -Free Hot Showers -Camp Store -Coin Operated Laundry -Recreation Room -Playground -Volleyball / Badminton Area -Basketball Hoop -Recreational Field -Community Fire Pit -Wi-Fi Hotspot -Dump Station -Recycling -Adult Bike Rental

I booked Deluxe Cabin 1 at the Boston KOA based on my past experiences in VA and NC. BOSTON was the WORST KOA I've stayed at. The cabin SMELLED of mildew and cigarettes(pic of ashes in the tub), and there was NO HOT WATER, which is against MA law. It was FILTHY, the pots needed to be replaced, and you have to request blankets. I informed the after hours staff about the water, blankets, and smell. The next morning, I went to the office at 9 am and talked to LORI. She was COMBATIVE and confrontational which is weird because she just started her day. As a person of color, I had to walk away because I was frightened. When I returned, BOB Brammer(He wanted to write his name down, so I got it right(his words)) lacked empathy and had a facial expression of annoyance. He was also CONFRONTATIONAL as I explained there was no hot water and the cabin smelled. I informed the national KOA feedback team(Kaitlyn& Tiana) and they said it's handled internally, whatever that means. If you read the reviews about bad customer service, believe it. You can see CUSTOMER SERVICE IS BADDDD! The KOA will probably respond to this review, but NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. I'll be reaching out to TOBY O'ROURKE and OSCAR TANG so they are aware the BOSTON KOA is tarnishing the KOA brand.

General: Over 450 sites (tent 20 amp w/e; 30 amp w/e; 30 amp w/e/s; 50 amp w/e/s; 50 amp w/e; 30, 50 or premium seasonal)
Site Quality: Generally good. Sites are gravel. We had originally reserved Site 98 but there was a large rock and tree roots making it challenging to position our van. We were able to move to Site 95 which was much better. Each site has a picnic table and rock firepit. Trees provide some amount of privacy between many sites.
Bath/Shower house: Spotlessly clean. The cleaning schedule indicates it is cleaned three times daily.
Activities/Amenities:
*Some are seasonal and were closed when we were there in October. These include three pools, a food truck, coffee, and ice cream.
* Others include a pristine laundry room (but you have to purchase a laundry card, so one load is a minimum of $10), shuffleboard, playground, tennis/pickleball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoe pit, soccer and baseball fields, firewood and propane fill, free cable and WiFi, dog park. I’ve probably forgotten a few but you get the idea…
We chose this campground because of its proximity to the Woods Hole ferry terminal. It is not our typical preferred campground but for one night in the off-season, it was very pleasant. It is billed as a family-friendly campground, and I imagine it would be very different during high season. We gladly forgo seasonal amenities for a quieter stay. The staff was very present and welcoming. Note that it is located on a busy highway and if you are approaching from the south, the turn into the campground is hair-raising! There is some road noise at some sites but not for most of them.
Guide
Nice warm showers and our tent site was kept away from a lot, so it was calm and quiet. Nice staff and would definitely visit again.
Guide
Pinewood has all of the basics covered. Great place to spend 1-3 nights under the stars. Hot showers were awesome (.25 cents per 3 minutes) and the stone fire pits were a hit. Pond was pretty dirty and you’ll be in close proximity to a shooting range and municipal airport (be wary of noise levels).
ScoutRelaxing by the river w ur family is the best way to go
Traveler
The campground was very busy with families events activities, etc. If you prefer a noisy fun experience and a more social experience with your very close neighbors, this is the pot for you. Our preferred style of camping requires more space and less noise. The pool bathrooms were gross, but the other facilities area near the tent sites was very nice and clean.
The food was great and the staff is friendly. Overall we had a great time, but its unlikely we’ll return mostly due to the noise level.
TravelerI stayed here several times overnight in an RV for the Pan Mass Challenge. They were always very accomdiating, the facilities are clean and it’s in a great location
Ranger
I like this campground and prefer site 14 on Flax Pond, the quieter of the 2 (Cliff Pond). This campground gets very busy in summer. Hikes around the ponds and swimming is lovely.
Your camp pass gets you into an underutilized beach across the road.

Serves all of our purpose. Good basic campground

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 as I didn't care which site I got as long as was the same type of site and I think the sites are expensive enough. Arrived and was given a site in "motorhome row". Very small and no paver patio. Prayed the whole time neighbor didn't use his grill as he was that close. Left two days early we were very disappointed. Alot of seasonal sites and some were pretty dumpy looking
Guide
We had a great 4 night stay here in our TT. We arrived after the office closed and they called us before hand to let us know that Bill would be there to greet us. Bill was super friendly and helpful when we arrived. Our preordered firewood was also at the site when we arrived as well. It is a more rustic campsite and doesn’t have the bells and whistles of the bigger corporate owned campgrounds. There’s plenty to do on the island itself so it’s not an issue at all. The kids enjoyed the playground and we made use of the rec room above the store on a rainy morning. All in all we enjoyed our stay here and will return again in the future.

I grew up going to ellis haven every summer now i’m continuing that same tradition with my children. Ellis haven is not only beautiful there’s always something to do. I highly recommend ellis haven.
TravelerThe staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They try their hardest to make the check-in process informational while also seemless and short and sweet. While the facilities may not be the most modern (I personally love the rustic appeal and genuine history of the place) they are well taken care of and one of the cleanest campgrounds I’ve been to. I’ve camped in both shoulder (May/June) and peak season (July/August) and while the shoulder season may be slower it’s quiet and peaceful and dogs are allowed. Peak season is full of activities on the campground (activities for the kids such as tie-dyeing, candy bar bingo, etc. They also have live-music every weekend and food trucks and ice cream stands). Honestly, one of my favorite stays!
GuideGreat stay at the only campground on Martha’s Vineyard! Immaculate tent sites as well as bath houses, very clean shower and toilet facilities. Camp store is well stocked, including fire wood, and staying here you are close to all of the quaint MV towns…..whether by car, bike rental, or the island bus line that goes by the camp entrance. The ferry to Nantucket is only a few minutes away too for a day excursion! Very personable staff…..be sure to make at least a few minutes each day to pet the campground dogs!!
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.
GuideSpots are beautiful. Private little lake with rentals & fishing, 2 pools, playground, store, etc. and it’s all conveniently located in cape cod. We very much enjoyed our stay here.
RangerA very nice place to stay! Lots of things to do on Cape Cod and this campground is centrally located. Friendly staff, clean facilities. There's a little store adjacent to the office just in case you forgot something. Playground for the kids. Was very quiet, of course I was there at the end of the season.
Beware of the nomes! ;)
TravelerThis state park is a family favorite located on the cleanest and most beautiful kettle ponds I’ve ever had the pleasure of swimming in! Perfect for exploring cape cod and all of it’s wonder
GuideThis is a nice campground with multiple site type options. Staff and Management are available to help. This is a busy campground due to its location . Easy access to Boston, Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Plymouth, Newport, and many more attractions. I recommend having reservations if you want to stay at this campground, between Memorial Day and Labor Day. We were being told that they are making several changes to the campground during the 2022/2023 winter down time season. We will have to wait and see what the changes will bring.
ScoutSite was level, staff was awesome. They do have a dog park and plenty of things to do. Didn't like that you have to pay for hot water though.
ScoutWell organized, clean campground with a ton of activities to do. Site with patio was great. Had a gas grill, table and chairs, a glider and fire pit.
ScoutI went to this campground every summer as a kid 25 years ago with my family. This was my first summer back and I was so happy to return! Now bringing my children, my 6 year old says it’s his favorite campground. Lots of things for the kids. I would have to say the only things on the negative end was the water was too low to fish/ way to many turtles and it seems like the sites were cut in half drastically reducing privacy. I will for sure be back but more picky about the sites I select…. and I miss Emma

I have been here at least twenty times so needless to say I love it here. It is now owned and run by the Trustees of Reservations, a not for profit organization. Staff is friendly-facilities are clean…but the best part of it is its location in wooded dunes near the quaint, historic and inclusive town of Provincetown, Ma. A ten minute walk or the beach 15 minutes by bicycle .
ScoutNice and quiet, here for a 3 night stay. 4 star because there are signs posted No dogs allowed on the road to the beach or other areas in the campground, limits walking. There is a dog park, though.
GuideWe booked our site early and made sure they were “big rig” friendly. The entrance was encouraging. However, the dirty dusty heavily trees (hence the name Forest) curves narrow road down to our site was not pleasant. The site was narrow, table and fire pit behind the rv and did I say dust? Ugh. And a lack of rain really made it twice as bad.
That being said, the store was nicely kept as was the rec room. Staff was also pleasant. The location is great. If considering ask for a site on the main drag. Much easier to get into.
