    Boston / Cape Cod KOA (Middleboro)

    Smelly, filthy Cabin with no hot water...Customer Service Is BADDD

    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.

    Quiet camping

    In Sept the campground was quiet and sparsely populated. Sites were big and fairly well spaced.

    There’s 12 miles of hiking trails to explore. You can hear the highway from many of the sites and trails, but for the most part it’s just part of the background noise with the insects and other nature noises.

    The park was easily accessible from the highway and easy to get through with a trailer.

    Nice and quiet

    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.

    Everything you NEED

    This spot does have everything you need. It is very remote and a lot of distance between campsites. Lots of trees. The bathroom amenities work but not the cleanest. There isn’t much to the RV sites but an electric plug. Like I said what you need, but not want you might want.

    Poor staff and management

    We were treated very poorly by staff and management. We here humiliated in front of our family members and the public. We were made broken promises and called liars by staff and management and then intimidated to leave the premises. It was a very bad experience that ruined our family vacation.

    Good (not excellent)

    PROS

    - 45 min from Boston

    - You have everything you need there: firewood, bathrooms (with shower, soap and toilet paper), a camp pit...

    - You get a map in the entrance - very helpful for hiking.

    - You can take a trail from the campsite.

    - Good sights while hiking, with good spots to have lunch or pause for water.

    CONS

    - Only one really: You don't have the feeling of being really in the woods. There is NOT a decent amount of land between each campsite. So if you have neighbors all around, you'll feel like in a village!

    Small Issues

    I would probably nitpick stay at this park again. The site we had paid for was not given to us. The shower in the bathroom did not provide hot/warm water until the end of my shower, and then the water would not turn off. Also, the lady camping beside us was tent camping, and she literally smoked weed the whole time she was there. We have children, and while she was there, you couldn’t do anything outside without smelling it. Overall, not the best campground.

    HEAVEN ON EARTH

    Such a beautiful destination for tourists, travelers, & beach goers....Talk about being right on the water with access to excellent swimming. Such a lovely vantage point with your tent location from the top of FORT GETTY. Who knew??? Mackerel Cove is awesome....beach, beach, beach.... Bathrooms are ok. Such a hidden gem on the wonderful island of Jamestown!!!! Bring your tent....

    Good But Not Ideal for us

    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.

    Busy in Summer.

    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.

    Wellfleet Hollow State Park

    Sweet Spot

    A quiet campground in mid June - sites are close together but not many people this trip, quiet and friendly neighbors. Right on the rail trail. Wellfleet beaches and glacial kettle ponds don’t require a parking sticker Labor Day- 2nd weekend in June.

    Great Pond and Long Pond are both close by and lovely swimming. You can also walk to Duck Pond from the campground.

    Site 73 had noise from the bathroom exhaust fan from 7am-10pm- just background drone but I noticed it.

    Nice outdoor showers w hot water and clean restrooms with wash sink for dishes.

    Wild turkeys moved through camp during my visit.

    Tents only - no RVs.

    Great place to stay with access to all of Cape Cod

    We had an amazing stay at Shawme Crowell State Forest. The campsite we had was very large, private and shady. The playground was also just up the hill from us and was a HUGE hit with our 3 year old. Beaches, biking and hiking all close by along with grocery stores and restaurants if needed. Bathrooms were super updated and always clean!

    Dissatisfied

    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

    Best Loop at MSSF

    Cozy little loop at MSSF, with a lot of variation in quality across the lots, but generally good spacing and great views. Avoid J28, especially if it's going to get wet. The stuff further out tends to feel more remote, facilities clean and pretty good, camp staff great all around. This is a nice site, I'll be back.

    Top Platz!

    Der Camping Platz ist super ausgerüstet. Die Plätze sind grosszügig und gut gepflegt. Auch wenn der Platz eher teuer ist, bekommt man dort sehr viel. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und flexibel. Von der Lage her ist man auf ein Auto angewiesen.

    would have been 5 stars…except for all the trash

    we came here because we want to start checking off all the state parks in MA and this was our first. (we normally camp in nh or at expensive campgrounds which we hate lol). this was $17 a night and an added $6 per night if you wanted electric and we decided to splurge. it is $54 an night NON electric for non ma residents and at that point don’t even bother coming here it’s NOT worth $60. though i mist say they never checked that i was a resident……use that information how you will, with caution. firewood is $7 a bundle and they’re not very big which is sad, for our 2 nights we used around 5 of them. now onto the issue at hand..the trash. there was so much litter everywhere. we noticed this on our way to our site and when we got to our site there was trash everywhere, a whole bag of trash left behind as well, and a pot of pasta sitting on the picnic table..yikes. we quickly tried to handle it as best we could but we were incredibly disgusted. we did like the electric towers for the most part. they seemed really futuristic. what i didn’t love was that the dim-ish yellow light could not be turned off. i like to sleep in pitch black, it’s part of the reason i love camping. so this was disappointing. but it did have 2 different camper plugins as well as 2 regular outlets. we camp in a tent so this was good. the site was incredibly spacious and consisted of the electric tower, the firepit (not movable, it’s rocks not a metal ring. i have no issue with this but some might), and a picnic table. the firepit has a grill grate but ours was unusable as it was full almost to the top with ash and dirt, though every other site seemed to be fine it was just ours. the bathroom/shower facilities (i can only speak for the women’s side) were pretty clean, especially compared to the rest of the campground. there was handicap accessible stalls. outside the building was a big double basin sink for dishwashing as well as a dumpster and tetherball. there were 2-3 bathrooms on the “electric” side of the campground where we were. would probably stay here again..would probably find another state park i like better. if i’m being honest. but it was not bad by any means. we also loved that it’s a geocaching park. very fun aspect.

    Nice, but further out than we thought

    This park was very nice, but they advertise being 5 miles away from historic Newport, and it’s more like 8. There are zero bike paths that are immediately accessible and Newport drivers are not walker/biker friendly. No sidewalks on the Main Street to get you here. Ubers and Lyfts can be scarce and very expensive depending on the time of day. Between $16 to $78 rides…so, if you’re not towing, just something to be aware of. Neighbors were super nice and there is a great dog park (we think it’s city owned) with super nice doggo humans. Was good for a short stay - we just wish we had known how far out it really was because we really would have loved to spend more time downtown.

    Overall peaceful!

    We had no neighbors our entire stay. Our site was flat, clean and it had great amenities. My only complaint is that it gets extremely buggy around 3pm.
