      Marthas Vineyard Family Campground

      The only place to camp on the island

      We 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.

      Sweetwater Forest

      My New Go To Campground in Cape Cod.

      This 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.

      Sweetwater Forest

      Quiet, clean, and in a lovely location

      Sweetwater 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.

      Awesome Experience!

      There 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!

      Noisiest Campground

      I’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.

      Just like we remembered

      Great 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.

      Indianhead Resort

      Good people, needs updating

      The 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.

      Marthas Vineyard Family Campground

      Perfectly located on the island

      I love this campground so much that I come to Martha’s Vineyard once a year to stay here. To be able to camp comfortably on this island and have access to all the island has to offer without spending an arm and a leg is what I love. You can take the ferry to Vineyard Haven ($15 round trip) and catch the island bus ($30 for a week pass) that will drop you right in front of the campground.

      It’s a rather large campground that has a lot of trees and each site is fairly large with a picnic table. At the front of the campground they have the summer RVs and about 20 rustic cabins if you’re not into tenting. This last year I stayed in a spot along the grass and it felt separate but with a great view of the office and all the activity on the grass. The camp store offers everything from postcards to air mattresses. For those of you, like myself, who don’t bring a car they even have a air pump at the office if you need it.

      There are outdoor showers and indoor showers where the bathrooms are as well as laundry facilities.

      The campground is family owned and the next generation just took over a year ago. This last Christmas they sent me a Christmas card... They are making great new changes and it definitely shows!

      Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

      Good Campground, Great Location

      This campground was recently bought by Sun RV so there already some changes happening- the arcade room is closed and being remodeled and they now allow you to use your own boat (non motor) on the pond which is a definite improvement. Mini golf and the pools are nothing special. We have camped here every summer for 4 years in a “glamp” site which is large with fire pit. The staff has always been friendly and we even projected a movie 4th of July outdoors with no issue. That being said, we use this mostly as a location to do other things- Old Silver Beach is 10 minutes down the road as is the Shining Sea Bike path. Downtown Falmouth is 10 minutes away as well where you have great restaurants, shops and the ferry to the islands.


    Guide to Sandwich

    Glamping in Sandwich, Massachusetts provides visitors with comfortable accommodations just 6.5 miles from Cape Cod Bay. The area features a mix of pine forests and kettle ponds, creating diverse natural settings for upgraded camping experiences. Cape Cod's typical summer temperatures range from 70-85°F, making it ideal for outdoor recreation from late spring through early fall.

    What to do

    Bike the Cape Cod Canal: The Cape Cod Canal Bikeway offers miles of paved trails accessible from several campgrounds. At Bourne Scenic Park, campers enjoy direct canal access. "The path to walk or bike was well kept and overall it was a beautiful place to be!" notes Paige R.

    Fishing opportunities: Waterfront camping provides excellent fishing access throughout the region. "If you like fishing this is your place," says Rick R. about Bourne Scenic Park. The canal and nearby ponds support various fish species year-round.

    Pond swimming: Natural freshwater swimming in kettle ponds offers a quieter alternative to ocean beaches. Nickerson State Park Campground features multiple swimming areas. "The clean, freshwater swimming at the kettle ponds (which are usually uncrowded and within less than a minute's walk from our campsite) is incredible," shares Phil Y.

    Nature trails: Wooded trails connect many camping areas to natural features. "There are miles of bike paths that connect to many towns on Cape Cod. Beautiful beaches are just down the road from the campground," explains Glenn B. about Nickerson State Park.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Campers appreciate secluded spots away from crowded settings. At Myles Standish State Forest, "Vegetation between sites for privacy. We stayed in loop b south, which is really not a loop but a dead end. Very quiet, and we were the only people in the loop for a couple of days," reports Amie C.

    Off-season tranquility: Visiting outside peak summer months reduces crowds significantly. "We stayed here in October and it was a little too chilly for us to camp but we gave it a shot. The campground wasn't too big and the sites offered a lot of privacy," shares Gina M. about Shawme Crowell State Forest.

    Hot showers: Clean bathroom facilities rank high among camper priorities. "The bathhouse was fairly decent," mentions Kim R. at Myles Standish, adding that "each loop has one bathhouse" and there were "at least three outlets in the women's room which was convenient for a quick cell phone charge."

    Natural settings: Pine forests create comfortable camping environments. "Great forest. Nothing like the rest of cape cod. Lots of pines and trails through the woods," notes Matt H. about Shawme Crowell State Forest.

    What you should know

    Highway noise levels: Some campgrounds experience road noise due to their proximity to major highways. At Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground, "It is very close to Rt 6 so the traffic noise is almost constant especially Friday nights. Not recommended for light sleepers but very convenient," advises Tim C.

    Limited tent sites: Several glamping-oriented campgrounds offer few designated tent sites. Scusset Beach State Reservation has "only 5 designated tent sites during the peak season, so if you want to tent camp here, you'd best make a reservation well in advance," warns Jean C.

    Bathhouse conditions: Bathroom cleanliness varies widely between facilities. "The bathrooms weren't that clean. It wasn't the worst bathroom, but it could have been a little more attended to. It scored a - 'not so bad that we'd never come back' rating from the girls," remarks Kim R.

    Site levelness: Many campgrounds have uneven terrain that requires preparation. "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," notes Nancy W. about Bourne Scenic Park.

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for playgrounds: Family-friendly campgrounds typically offer dedicated play areas. Pinewood Lodge Campground provides "plenty of things to do" according to Michael K., while featuring "lots of activities for the kids" as Stephen R. points out.

    Consider pond access: Freshwater beaches offer safer swimming for children than ocean beaches. At Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins, "private little lake with rentals & fishing, 2 pools, playground, store, etc." creates a complete family environment according to Aliceon W.

    Check for scheduled activities: Many campgrounds offer organized family programs during peak season. Paula T. notes that Shawme Crowell has a playground that was "being revamped and looks awesome," providing a central activity hub for younger campers.

    Beware of site spacing: During busy periods, some campgrounds become crowded. "Felt like I was camping with the people on the next site," mentions Douglas L. about Bourne Scenic Park, highlighting the importance of selecting more secluded sites when possible.

    Tips from RVers

    Reserve early for hookups: Full-service sites book quickly, especially during peak season. At Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins, "glamping sites include full hookup, fire pit with chairs, octagon shaped picnic table and stone patio for your rv front door," according to Stacy M.

    Gray water disposal: Some campgrounds have unique waste disposal systems. Nancy W. explains that at Bourne Scenic Park, "No sites have sewer; however, grey water dump stations are randomly placed throughout the campground and can be accessed with a garden hose."

    Off-season availability: Extended camping seasons benefit self-contained RVs. "Scusset Beach offers an extended camping season, although the extended season is restricted to self-contained units as the restrooms are turned off," notes Jean C.

    Site selection matters: Taking time to find the right site improves the camping experience. "We choose a pull-thru because of our length. Utilities were well-placed and all worked well. The cable hook-up yielded 99 channels," shares Nancy W. about setup at Bourne Scenic Park.
