1 campground with availability this weekend
Spacious Skies Minute Man and Wells State Park Campground offer cabin accommodations within a short drive of Shrewsbury. Most cabins include electricity, heating for cooler months, and basic furnishings such as beds, tables, and seating areas. Wells State Park provides more rustic options with bunk beds and minimal amenities, while Minute Man features cabins with kitchenettes and private bathrooms. Normandy Farms Campground, though slightly farther, offers premium cabin rentals with full bathrooms, air conditioning, and equipped kitchens. "We stayed in the cabin with a kitchenette and bathroom. The shower worked well and it was nice not to have to walk to the restrooms, though they were close by," noted one visitor about their experience.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Sutton Falls Camping Area provides waterfront cabin options with views of Aldrich Mill Pond, while Pine Acres Family Camping Resort features family-sized layouts that accommodate larger groups. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary significantly between properties—Normandy Farms and Minute Man allow pets in select cabins for an additional fee, while state park cabins typically prohibit pets entirely. A camper shared: "The campground itself is beautifully wooded with mature pine trees. However, the sites are packed so tight you can barely maneuver in and out."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic microwaves and mini-refrigerators to full kitchenettes with stovetops and cookware. Douglas Forest RV Resort and Lake Manchaug Camping provide cabins with outdoor fire rings and picnic tables for cooking and dining. On-site camp stores at larger resorts like Pine Acres and Normandy Farms stock essential groceries, firewood, and forgotten items. Grocery stores and supply shops are located within 15-20 minutes of most cabin locations. One review noted that "the camp store is small but well stocked and the prices are very good," highlighting the convenience of on-site shopping options.

Saw they have 2 yurts for rent as well."

TravelerBeautiful place about an hour from Salem Boston and Plymouth. Be careful getting in Sharp Hill coming up and down lots of scrapes on the ground tight navigation through sites lots of beautiful trees.
GuideLet me just preface this review by saying when I go camping, I like to be immersed in nature– ideally with a toilet and shower nearby. These are my only desires. This is not that kind of campsite. But just because it isn’t for me, that doesn’t mean it won’t be for you.
Pros:
- Easy to book and accommodating staff.
- Restrooms/showers were clean(though the air fresheners are not migraine sufferer-friendly).
- Nice, tall trees.
Cons:
- My only real con is the general vibe. Again, it’s just not for me. It has lots of activities for kids (an arcade, park, pool, etc.), so if that’s what you’re looking for, great! It just wasn’t what I personally was looking for. But with limited camping options in the area, it was our only real choice.
GuideI can understand why this place is rated one of the best campgrounds in the country. This was my first time camping here with my own RV and it did not disappoint. Our site was spacious, and centrally located within the campground, they have all the amenities you can imagine living up to that “resort” title. Ranging from multiple pools, hot tubs, courts, pavilions, playgrounds, etc. the cell service was great, they offer WiFi, and much more. I love the store, it gives off that Great Wolf Lodge feel, and it has everything inside you may need. Including a little hidden café that surprisingly made good lattes. This place is massive, and I’ve never seen a campground that had as many million dollar RV’s in one place. That atmosphere is just great here. There is so much to do. It’s so big you need an e-bike just to get around. Resort-style campgrounds like this come at a steeper price compared to others, but in my opinion, Normandy was well worth the cost. We look forward to revisiting, often!
TravelerWhat a gem of a campground. The park staff are very helpful and friendly. The facilities: bathrooms, showers, dump station and trash receptacles are spotless. They offer nature oriented fun activities for all ages! And they even have playgrounds for the littles to play on. The sites are are mixed use, offering tent only, RV with electric, and group sites. They also have yurts that can rented, which come with a full size bed and bunk beds.
TravelerWe came in the day after Labor Day ~ after 280 rv’s checked out ~ so it may not have been as peaceful over the weekend, but I heard everyone had lots of fun. The grounds are beautiful!
TravelerI recently spent 5 days here camping with my dog and my family and we enjoyed it immensely! The staff was all extremely kind, helpful, and they worked hard to keep the campground clean. The bathrooms especially wete always clean. Its nice to be able to be comfortably in the woods while also having other amenities within 15-20 minute driving to pick up things we forgot or a little adventure. The sites were huge and had plenty of space for all our stuff and were all extremely well maintained.
GuideWe arrived on a Saturday afternoon and they did seem have alot going on. It was Christmas in July. There was a live band and a few food trucks. The campsites are onto of each. Way too close for us. The roads that lead to the sites are way to narrow. I tow a 27ft travel trailer and my tires were off the road on both sides. The campsite itself was nice. No complaints there. Pool was gross. Mini golf was horrible. All the wood was rotted. We won't be back.
TravelerMy kids had a blast. Many activities and plenty to do. Only down side was there being not service, which stinks when you use the app to follow along with activities and updates.
GuideWe stayed at site 81, it was near the entrance and right on the pond! The sites were spacious, so it was easy to maneuver our 21 ft travel trailer. The camp bathrooms were across from our site, they weren’t terrible but could use a bit of cleaning!
