      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.

      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.

      Marthas Vineyard Family Campground

      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.

      Marthas Vineyard Family Campground

      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.

      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!

      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.

      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 West Tisbury

    Camping options near West Tisbury, Massachusetts range from basic tent sites to premium accommodations across Cape Cod's diverse terrain. The area sits at approximately 100 feet above sea level with a moderate maritime climate that keeps summer temperatures between 75-85°F during peak camping season. Fall camping remains viable through October when temperatures typically drop to 50-65°F during the day.

    What to do

    Explore kettle ponds at Charge Pond: Located in Myles Standish State Forest, these spring-fed water bodies offer exceptional clarity. "Miles Standish campground is perfect for low maintenance campers! No electric, one water spout per every few sites, and multiple loops with different features, it's perfect for all. Swimming, fishing, camping, hiking, trails, boating and more await," notes Katie D.

    Bike the Cape Cod Rail Trail: Access this 22-mile paved path directly from Sweetwater Forest in Brewster. "Just a great family campground in a great location on The Cape," says Paul H. The trail connects multiple towns and beaches across the Cape.

    Fish the Cape Cod Canal: Bourne Scenic Park provides direct access to prime fishing spots. "If you like fishing this is your place," confirms Rick R. Many campers report catching striped bass and bluefish, with the canal known for its strong currents that attract larger fish.

    Collect shells at Scusset Beach: The beach near Scusset Beach State Reservation offers abundant shell collecting opportunities. "The beach is big, open and beautiful with lots of shells to hunt and marine life to check out," shares Angela T. Morning low tides typically expose the best selection.

    What campers like

    Private wooded sites: Many campgrounds offer secluded options with natural buffers. At Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground, "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, and some hiking trails within the campground," writes Gina M.

    Freshwater swimming alternatives: When ocean beaches get crowded, local ponds provide quieter options. "The clean, freshwater swimming at the kettle ponds which are usually uncrowded" is a highlight at several locations, with Paul H. noting of Sweetwater Forest, "Been coming here for 18 yrs and its great every time."

    Family-friendly activities: Boston/Cape Cod KOA offers extensive recreation options. "As we pulled around the office we saw all kinds of activities for kids. Bouncy 'pillow', pool, bounce pad, sluice, miniature golf, and a playground," describes Samantha S. These amenities provide entertainment during non-beach days.

    Dog-friendly options: Many campgrounds accommodate pets with designated swimming areas. At Nickerson State Park, "even though dogs aren't allowed on the swimming beaches, you can bring them to different parts of the pond for swimming, and no one gives you trouble," explains Katelain T.

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites near West Tisbury require advance booking, especially from May through September. "This spot fills up quick so reservations well ahead of time are needed," warns Virginia W. about Nickerson State Park Campground.

    Site variations: Quality and size differ significantly between standard and premium sites. At Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins, one camper noted they "Booked site in early July for Sept stay. Paid for a premium glamping site 2200 Sq ft with paver patio. Didn't pay site lock fee as I didn't care which site I got as long as was the same type of site... Arrived and was given a site in 'motorhome row'. Very small and no paver patio."

    Noise levels: Some campgrounds experience significant activity, especially on summer weekends. "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," advises Mary V. about one popular resort.

    Alcohol regulations: Alcohol policies vary by campground. "When you are sitting by the campfire, sometimes, chilling with a beer or another adult beverage is nice. Not in Massachusetts State Parks. No alcohol allowed," points out Randy R. about Myles Standish State Forest.

    Tips for camping with families

    Book specialized family sites: Cape Cod's Maple Park Campground and RV Park offers dedicated family zones. "This is the perfect family campground with lots of activities for the whole family during the on season. Your whole family will be entertained. Be prepared for a busy campground," advises Judy P.

    Pack beach gear and bug protection: Sites near water require mosquito preparation. At Myles Standish, "We stay at Myles Standish every June. We stay in the charge pond area which is a smaller pond but nice and clean. There are bbqs, tables and bathrooms at the pond," shares Stephanie B.

    Consider shoulder season for fewer crowds: Late May and September offer pleasant temperatures with fewer campers. One visitor to Peters Pond RV Resort noted, "We stayed at the campground and loved it. School started late so we were able to book after the holiday in September. Weather was still warm. Pool was good, pond was great. It was not crowded that time of year."

    Look for playgrounds near camping loops: Some campgrounds have multiple recreation areas. At Shawme Crowell, "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," advises Paula T.

    Tips from RVers

    Reserve sites with sufficient amenities: At Peters Pond RV Resort, "Large sites and very friendly staff. This campground has a great dog park, pool, large pond," reports Orange L. Many RV sites include full hookups and cable TV.

    Consider site levelness: Many Cape Cod campgrounds have uneven terrain. At Bourne Scenic Park, "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."

    Plan for seasonal restrictions: Campgrounds with glamping close to West Tisbury, Massachusetts often limit services in shoulder seasons. At Scusset Beach, "the extended season is restricted to self-contained units as the restrooms are turned off," explains Jean C., noting only 5 tent sites exist during peak season.

    Pay for premium sites when possible: One Boston/Cape Cod KOA visitor learned: "I have learned that you really need to upgrade to the better campsites to enjoy your stay. With that being said I did not take my own advice and I booked a basic 30 amp fullhook up campsite and it was so tight that unfortunately I did not enjoy it as much as I wanted to."
