Best Cabin Camping near Westville Lake

Normandy Farm Family RV Park is one of the best of the best in the USA. It is located easily off RT 495 and not far off Rt 95 in Foxboro MA.  It has all amenities one would want, kids are safe and lots to do.  They have a small fishing pond, a number of pools, hot tub etc.  Lots to do around the campground like a casino in the next town, Gillette Stadium down the road, cranberry bogs and so much more to do around the campground including a discount shopping center in Wrentham MA.  The management is by one family and they keep the campgrounds impeccably, they are right on top of problems and the problems are solved very quickly if there are any problems at all.  The sites have some distance between sites and staff want to help in every way they can.  I have stored my rig with them for 21 years and never a problem and do camp there when I get a chance.  They do charge more than some campgrounds but they give you more than any campground I have stayed at.

Getaway is fabulous! My first glamping experience was a winner! Machimoodus is one of the newest outposts just outside Boston and NYC. My bf and I went during one of the snowiest weekends all winter, but it was completely worth it!

First of all, the huge picture window in the cabin is AMAZING. It is just so rejuvenating waking up to freshly fallen snow on the trees - corny I know, but 100% accurate. The cabin was beautiful and rustic, and outfitted with cookware, dishes, a Bluetooth capable radio, essentials like coffee for purchase, books and a shovel for the snow.

Since the outpost was new, the fire pit was brand new, and despite the snow, we were able to cook on it. Very easy to use.

Only critiques would be the lackluster water pressure in the shower and how icy the walkway leading up from the driveway got in the cold weather. The water pressure was a small price to pay, however, and the icy walkway is resolved easily enough wearing micro-spikes.

I can’t recommend enough. It can be a pricy excursion, but the outposts are established in very beautiful settings. I cannot wait to check out more!

We were delighted when we learned we had the little peninsula of site P1 all to ourselves. Stunning views across the large pond, and serving as a wonderful halfway rest/respite on the journey from NYC to Belfast, ME. We felt like we were on top of the world, discovering this perfect quiet nook and basking in nature’s splendor.

I can only speak for the camping on this peninsula/land, but the rest of the sites looked cozy, family-friendly, and fun. Cabins and RV sites across the lake, along with beaches for swimming. Bathrooms located on P1 peninsula. Canoe rentals on-site. Lovely picnic dining area alongside covered bridge and waterfall. Completely picturesque and, mostly, totally peaceful!

We love the town of Mystic and all there is to do and see. The KOA is in a good location to visit downtown and nearby attractions. This is a typical KOA that has lots of things to do for kids and families but was so crowded. The pool is very popular but there are plenty of other things for kids to do like mini golf, a fishing pond, outdoor cinema, shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, hay rides, and lots of planned daily activities. One of the most popular places in the campground was the Bar Car which is a converted bus offering frozen drinks for adults (with alcohol) and kids. 

On this stay, we snagged a late reservation over a busy summer weekend so the place was packed. Our site (Q15) was all grass which was fine with us because the grass was nice and thick. There was no defined pad, instead just hookups to back in next to so you have lots of flexibility as to how you park. The back of our site was open to a large field which was nice but across the street in front of us where rental cabins that were always busy. There were no trees at our site and not too much room between us and our neighbors but that is pretty typical for the entire campground.  On this row, all the firepits were in the back of the site so you felt like you were having a campfire with your neighbors.  Some sites towards the front of the park are very close together and unlevel. If you want to be up near the action– pool, bar car, and other activities– get a site in the front section.  We wanted to be as far away from that as possible.  There is a nice tent section tucked away in the woods but you are pretty far from the bathhouse and seemed crowded and loud when we walked around in the morning. There are plenty of rental cabins and they were adding a dozen or so more when we were there. The cabins in the S section are off to themselves and have lots more space. The WiFi was horrible so we ended up using our Verizon hotspot. 

We love going to Abbotts Lobster in the Rough where we can sit outside eating fresh lobster. Abbotts has great food and an equally nice view. Mystic Pizza is a must due to its popularity of the movie bearing its name which stared Julia Roberts. The neighboring town of Stonington is beautiful with historic stone buildings and an old stone lighthouse. Mystic Seaport and the Aquarium are must-sees.
