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.
Southeastern Massachusetts features primarily flat terrain with numerous kettle ponds and cranberry bogs surrounding Plympton. The area maintains moderate temperatures from May through October, with highs averaging 75-85°F in summer and 55-65°F in fall. Proximity to the Atlantic Ocean creates occasional foggy mornings that typically burn off by midday, especially at glamping locations near the coast.
Fishing opportunities: Pinewood Lodge Campground offers access to a 50-acre freshwater pond stocked with various fish species. "Nice camp store and lots of activities for the kids. Very quiet place, beautiful sites nice fireplaces bathrooms are close by and clean," notes Stephen R., though he mentioned not caring for the coin-operated showers.
Canal biking: Bourne Scenic Park provides direct access to the Cape Cod Canal bike path. "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," writes Jaclyn P., who was impressed with the cleanliness during Covid-19 restrictions.
State forest hiking: Myles Standish State Forest offers extensive trail networks through pine forests. "There are miles of bike trails and ponds for fishing, swimming, and boating. There's a larger beach and picnic area at College Pond," shares Jean C., who recommends downloading maps for offline use due to poor cell coverage throughout the forest.
Privacy between sites: Charge Pond Campground receives praise for its spacious layout. "Very quiet, and we were the only people in the loop for a couple of days. Sites are nice and level and large. Vegetation between sites for privacy," reports Amie C., who stayed in loop B south.
Access to Cape Cod: Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground serves as a gateway to Cape attractions without Cape prices. "Nice spot right over the Cape Cod Canal. Spent many summers here as a kid and was fun to return with my family," shares Douglas L., though he noted hearing distant highway noise.
Water recreation: Campers appreciate the swimming options at many locations. At Ellis-Haven Family Campground, Chris P. commented, "Overall, a well maintained campground with clean bathrooms and clean clear pond to swim in. Tent sites were good sized and not right on top of other people."
Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites close to Plympton, Massachusetts require advance booking, especially for premium accommodations. At Boston/Cape Cod KOA, Janet P. advises, "I have belonged 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...I'll pay the few extra dollars to have a bigger site, it's so worth it."
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate from early May through mid-October. Scusset Beach offers an extended season through December, though with limitations. "Scusset Beach offers an extended camping season, although the extended season is restricted to self-contained units as the restrooms are turned off," explains Jean C.
Noise factors: Some campgrounds experience traffic noise. At Shawme Crowell, Tim C. shares, "Price is right and always very well maintained. It is also very close to Rt 6 so the traffic noise is almost constant especially Friday nights. Not recommended for light sleepers but very convenient."
Activity planning: Normandy Farms Campground offers extensive programming for children. "They had tons of festive activities. They have an indoor and an outdoor pool. The restrooms are clean. I highly recommend staying here. It was a lot of fun," shares Liz W., who visited during Halloween celebrations.
Playground access: When selecting a campsite at Shawme Crowell, Paula T. advises, "It has two areas. The one nearer the camp entrance is smaller than the second. The second one has a playground while the first one does not. I would not recommend the first area if you have small children for this reason."
Beach days: Plan for beach excursions from your campsite. At Scusset Beach State Reservation, Rachel P. notes, "The beach is clean, with beautiful, white, rock-free sand. There's a small snack bar with basic food options, bathroom and locker room facilities, picnic tables and plenty of parking. Lifeguards begin their work around 10am."
Site selection strategy: When glamping near Plympton at Boston/Cape Cod KOA, Kirk S. recommends researching site options carefully: "This 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."
Leveling challenges: At Bourne Scenic Park, Nancy W. observed, "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."
Utility considerations: Many campgrounds offer partial hookups only. At Pinewood Lodge, Michael K. reported, "Site 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."
