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.
Traveler
Had an amazing stay, cabin was perfect and comfortable. Water was nice and fish were biting. Can’t wait to come back.
Traveler
We enjoyed our tent site with a wooden lean-to. Overall very private and peaceful, however the only drawback is that people took frequent casual walks pass the area all day long. There's really no way around that.
We did not get a chance to enjoy the amenities, but they all looked nice and well thought out.
We will return.
ScoutAbsolutely beautiful. When we drove in we fell in love with the grounds!! We were in site B9. We have a 25” B+ and basically had to park sideways and use a lot of leveling blocks to get our rig level. As we walked around we spoke to others who had similar problems with the sites not being level. We recommend this campground but just be prepared and bring plenty of leveling blocks! The office did provide us with additional blocks to level so they were very accommodating.
GuideNormandy Farms is perfect. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is lovely. The sites are level, the bathrooms/showers are spotless with piped in music and hairdryers. It's one of the few campgrounds that really is a resort. This was our second visit and it just keeps getting better. They've added a huge covered area with a snack bar and a big TV over the fireplace next to the Recreation Lodge. It's not far from a park and ride area, so taking the train into Boston is easy.
ScoutAbsolutely love this campground. It has so many things for the kids to do. Everyone is so friendly. Can't wait to go back for the 4th of July.
ScoutI almost didn't want to leave! Setting up and finding a camping spot was virtually a breeze.
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! ;)
GuideAbove average, nice sized spots, clean amenities, level plots, heated pool and hot tub, leave you alone if you want peace (which some nicer places don't!!), tons of activities for the kids .
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.
LegendVery nice campground. Level sites with room. Lots to do for kids and adults.
GuideThis campground is the perfect little summer getaway. The sites are secluded and spaced decently apart. They have many options of places to explore and things to do.
LegendNormandy Farm has something for everyone and then some. 4 pools, an activity center lodge you could hold a beautiful wedding for a couple hundred in. From Dining, to an RC race track to a huge disc golf course to an awesome store and gift shop to large camp sites and lots of friendly guests from all over.
RangerThis campground is beautiful! Each site is sectioned off to its own space (no pass throughs), is dirt, level, and tree-hugged on every site. Sites are very large! Full hook ups available. Beautiful playgrounds (yes multiple), game room, camp store, bathrooms are immaculate. Clean showers available at each comfort station located throughout the campground. Camp office staff were very nice and helpful! Centrally located to everything! Can get to the cape cod rail trail easily!
TravelerSeparate RV and tent areas. The tent area is in a woodsy hollow full of birds and interesting wildlife. This isn’t a camping resort but they have clean restrooms and a game room with a pool table, puzzles, and board games. Plus multiple playgrounds and a pond that’s good for boating but not swimming. The staff were super helpful when I had a dead car battery and when my car got stuck on a road.
LegendThis is the place that will raise the bar for all the others
Everything was fantastic. If I could pick ONE thing to improve it would be bigger shower stalls. But seriously. There is so much to do and so much amazing staff that you’d never have to leave.
ScoutNewbies We booked 2 nights after Thanksgiving to take our 2004 Holiday Rambler for our first trip. I believe it’s the last week the park is open for the season. Water is off but we were made aware of this when we booked. It snowed briefly Friday night. Explored the grounds and imagine it’s a wonderful and busy park in season. Many amenities and convenient to Gillette and all the shops. We ate locally and enjoyed all the shops. We’ll be back- if we’re able to get a spot, I understand it’s tough to do.
ScoutWe have always loved it here. It is rustic camping, no water or electricity and the bathroom is an outhouse and no showers. The people are friendly and we have always had a good time. The kids can hang out in the clubhouse if it’s raining or swim in the pond if it’s hot. Lots of hiking trails.
GuideThis is more luxury than campground, but if that is your style then you will love this place. Four pools? Sauna? Spotless campsites (even charcoal is removed from fire pit rings between guests!)? Arcade? Beautifully designed buildings? Yes, this place has it all and more. This campground also has two of the best playgrounds I’ve seen at any venue.
That said, as a lover of campgrounds I would really give this a 4.5 because it is truly cramped. Some sites are just glorified parking spaces with a sewer hookup. There is tree cover in many places, but there is zero privacy at the sites.
Long story short: if you are looking for pampered fun then go here. If you are looking for “real camping” go to a state park for 1/5 the price.
ScoutFirst things first- no bugs!! That’s right I didn’t know what I was missing till I notice I wasn’t getting bit alive by mosquitoes!!! They spray for them!!! So you can enjoy the outside without the pesky bites that come with camping!
Then of course there is the luxury of having two pools, a ton of fun activities for kids, (fishing , dog park, horseshoes, tennis, basketball, etc)! It’s probably my favorite spot in New England merely for all the luxuries that come with this site!!!
Plus you are close to Gillette and shopping!! Can get better then that!
TravelerThis campground was fantastic. The sites were very unique, hilly and wooded. We had a great site...site G. The kids enjoyed the playgrounds and putt putt. We enjoyed the proximity to beaches on the Cape. Also enjoyed a whale watch tour which left from a harbor nearby. FYI, no pool or laundry...which didn't affect our stay, but good to know.
TravelerWe needed a base camp for visiting Boston and this campground was the closest we could find. Staff is very nice and helpful. Campgrounds are large and well maintained.
Was the most expensive RV park we ever stayed at.
ScoutI stayed here a few times before working here one summer. The family and staff are really good people. The campsites are well maintained and the grounds offer plenty of amenities. From someone who has been on both ends (employee & customer) I can highly recommend staying here. On top of a great place to stay, it’s located in the heart of Brewster less than 10 min from the ocean and only minutes from freshwater swimming at Long Pond.
GuideNormandy Farm Family RV Park is one of the best of the best in the USA. It is located easily off RT 495 and not far off Rt 95 in Foxboro MA. It has all amenities one would want, kids are safe and lots to do. They have a small fishing pond, a number of pools, hot tub etc. Lots to do around the campground like a casino in the next town, Gillette Stadium down the road, cranberry bogs and so much more to do around the campground including a discount shopping center in Wrentham MA. The management is by one family and they keep the campgrounds impeccably, they are right on top of problems and the problems are solved very quickly if there are any problems at all. The sites have some distance between sites and staff want to help in every way they can. I have stored my rig with them for 21 years and never a problem and do camp there when I get a chance. They do charge more than some campgrounds but they give you more than any campground I have stayed at.
GuideI wasn’t sure I would like this level of glamping, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was positive and helpful and that made a difference for me. I traditionally dry camp or go for semi hooked up on purpose, I just like the quieter camping. Maybe it’s covid, but it felt good to be “near” other people trying to find peace in a crazy world. So much positive about the resort, the snack bar has an awesome menu and cost is reasonable. Beer at the store wasn’t unreasonable priced. The clothing/swag was fairly priced. The facility is big enough to walk, bike, short run, the frisbee golf is the best set up I’ve ever used. I went recently(mid October) so the pools were shut down, but there was still lots of activities. The bath houses were very clean and there was music playing, another detail that sets this resort apart. The grounds, for a packed campground were actually well done with trees, and large stones around. You will hear other people at nearby sites, it didn’t bother me, in fact listening to all the various dogs barking at each other from their respective sites made me laugh. You can hear cars from 495, but once again, somehow it did not bother me. I’ve stayed at campgrounds up in NH that are dry camping, and I can hear cars on Rt 16 or on the Kanc. There is a catch, sites probably average $100/night or more, when all the amenities are up and running, it is well wort it. Shoot, I’ve stayed in hotels for $150/night with no amenities. This place has so much to do, or just sit by the campfire and drink beer and relax, or borrow a movie for free. Remember to return it or they will process the $20.00 hold. I’m definitely going back, kids had fun, I had fun. Pay ahead and get your gate codes, and you can drive right to your site, that was super convenient, see the positives keep showing up. Thanks for reading
