Many campgrounds provide water and electric hookups, with several offering full hookups including sewer connections.

State park campgrounds receive positive reviews for their natural settings and relative quiet compared to private facilities. Wompatuck State Park earns praise for its peaceful atmosphere and proximity to beaches. A camper remarked, "We had a great two-night stay at Wompatuck. Nights were peaceful with very little human noise."

GuideI was lucky enough to score one of the waterfront spots for one night of my stay. I backed in and opened the rear doors of my campervan and just stared at the ocean view for hours. Spectacular!
LegendWe visited in early June and really appreciated the shade at our site as the temps rose into the mid-80’s. There are lots of tall pine trees but are trimmed back and not a problem getting or big-rig through the park or in our site. We loved site 47 which was long and level with nice grass around it. The next site (46) was pretty close, but luckily nobody was in it while we visited. Our patio area was fairly large with no other sites next to it, just a road. We chose a 50A/water pull thru site and the electric was good at 124 volts on each leg. Honey wagon service is quite expensive at $35/pump out, or you can use the dump station for free. We used the campground cable tv and got about 60 stations, included the major stations (local news was out of Boston). This was a good thing since the trees blocked our Dish receiver from getting any channels. The wifi was 2.4G and just o.k. You could surf the internet but definitely not strong enough to stream. I went to the lodge and got great wifi speed to download movies quickly.
The campground is gated and charges$15/day for visitors. There are lots of amenities. There is a good access to a small lake (with a canoe/kayak launch and rentals), fishing pier (for catch and release, no license required), ice cream stand, food truck, playground, a large dog park (with two runs), laundry, playground, horseshoes, etc. The campground is conveniently to the downtown Plymouth attractions (10 minutes) and a grocery store (2 miles).
The biggest downside was the dust since most of the roads are gravel. It was very dry during our visit and the dust was crazy. Another negative was the $5/day pet fee. There are restrictions as to where you can walk your pets in the campground and they are not allowed on the beach. There is a good size dog park with two runs. If you dog is afraid of gunshots, do not come here as there is a gun range nearby that is pretty loud.
LegendThis park is mainly seasonal campers with a handful of transient sites. We were in a 50A, full hookup, pull thru that was plenty long enough for our 45’ motorhome and tow car. Other transient sites include shorter 30A sites and tent sites. (P9 is a really nice back-in site on the water and steps away from the beach, snack shack and bar.)
Our site was nicely shaded, level, and paved (as are all the roads). The utilities worked well and were located in the middle of the site. The only negative was that the sewer was uphill and didn’t drain properly. Cable tv is included and we got about 60 channels. There was a wifi router right outside our window so the internet was good for surfing but not enough to stream. The campground was gated and you have a key card to get in.
This park has a lot of amenities– two beaches, pool, snack bar, bouncy pillow, basketball and baseball fields, snack bars, and scheduled activities. The campground is located on Peters Pond but it is pretty small and not even large enough for me to want to blow up my paddleboard. That is great if you use them because you have to pay a$15/day resort fee. We used none of them so found the nightly price to be very high. Plus, the nightly rate for weekends is higher. We had a 25% discount code but our nightly weekend rate was still over$90/night. In my opinion the park could use some more attention as far as picking up trash, keeping grass around sites mowed, and cleaning the laundry facilities (which were pretty gross). We stayed in early June so the park was pretty quiet as kids were not out of school. But, I can imagine in the summer it gets really busy with as big as the park is. We were there over a weekend and it did get busier, and seemed everyone broke out their golf carts to ride around listening to music and drinking or entertaining their screaming kids.
For the most part, it is big-rig friendly but, we did hit some trees and had to go out a different way to avoid low hanging branches. We probably would not stay again due to the price and our campsite was just o.k.
ScoutWe spent the weekend here with our 4 kiddos ages 8,6,4, and 3. The kids had a blast. The bathrooms are spotless. They are in the process if renovating but that didnt interfere with our visit. They have a playground, pool, and yard games for the kiddos to use. Wish they had bigger grass sites. I think they will have some in the future.
LegendThis is a great oceanfront campground located behind the dunes of Buzzards Bay. We booked early since the park only has 100 sites and we wanted a 50A site (not all sites have electric so pay close attention when you book). Our campsite has a picnic table and fire pit and was paved with a sand patio. The electric was good with both legs above 120 volts. The bathhouse was clean and is situated in the middle of the campground. There is a dump station which is easily accessible. Roads are one-way but the sites are angled so backing in was easy. Water spigots scattered throughout the campground, and we were close enough to one that we could have filled our tank, if needed. There is no shade and it can be quite windy. Dogs are allowed on the beach at the campground which is a plus. The sunsets were amazing. There is a small playground for kids but the beach is the draw.
The nightly price for Massachusetts residents is a bargain at $28 but it jumps up over $70 for non-Massachusetts residents. The beach is cobblestone/sand and there is a nice paved walking path that runs parallel. The beach by the campground is very rocky but there is another day use area to the west which gets raked and they remove all the rocks, but can be very busy. There is another hiking trail (about 2 miles) that you can walk to from the campground that goes out on a spit of land where you can walk back along the sandy beach. The beach access is easy since there are mobility mats connecting the campground to the beach.
The closest grocery is approximately 10 minutes away and there are a couple of restaurants closer. We took a drive to New Bedford to see the Whaling Museum and the National Park Service site– both were worth the stop. All in all, we really liked our stay at Horseneck Reservation and would return.
LegendThis campground is a mix of seasonal and transient campers with sites able to accommodate all size RV’s. One of the best aspects of this campground is the close proximity to downtown Provincetown which is only a half mile away. We loved walking to town for shopping and restaurants especially since parking is very expensive($20-40/day). We camped in “the field” section which has long, level, full hook-up, back in sites. Note: other sections in the park are much closer together. The field is fairly open with some trees along the back edge and a few scattered in the sites but non that would interfere with satellite reception or backing in. We stayed in F9 which was a great site! Our patio was a large, open grassy area. The site was gravel and all hookups were well-placed. (The other site we really liked was F4.) We got 12 over-the-air television stations and our Verizon phone and hotspot worked well. They do have wifi which worked pretty well for surfing the internet.
There isn’t much in the way of amenities except bath houses and a small store. Everyone who worked there was very nice and friendly.
There is lots to do in the area and you are very close to Cape Cod National Seashore which we loved for hiking, biking, and hanging out at the beach. The Province Land visitor center is worth the time as we enjoyed the films and exhibits. There was a red fox family who had a den under the visitor center that we loved watching. Also, visit the lifesaving station nearby– very interesting and informative and they do live demonstrations of drills. Truro Winery (about 10 minutes away) is a fun place to stop and enjoy wine and food outside.
RangerWe stayed at one of the lean-to sites and really enjoyed our time here. We went fishing and explored the area. We hiked to the tri-state marker (CT-MA-RI) on a nearby trail. Plenty to do and see! Bathrooms were cleaner than what we are used to in a state campground.
RangerOur first time camping here, we were trying to get a more secluded spot, but the pics on ReserveAmerica were not the greatest gauge of the sites. The sites were OK, some better than others, we didn't have any amenities but there was potable water nearby. There are cabins, which are really just bunkhouses with 2 bunk beds. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. Our loop had porta potties nearby, we only saw one real bathroom with flushing toilets and showers. We did go for a nice hike, the North/South Trail goes through the campground and there are many trails in the area as well. We did a 5+ mile loop and got a good sense of what the trails are like. Found some geocaches and our pups got a good workout.
ScoutMe and my girl spent 2 weeks and had an amazing time the people are friendly they dont bother you about drinking only problem was the cell service is trash out ghere
