"Camping on one of the best Islands in Massachusetts"
"Tons of things to do close by. Bus stop right at main entrance to campground. Towns are close. Plenty to do in towns. Clean close beaches."
"Nice campground, but need to get sites away from the backside of the pool, street noise is too loud"
"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."
$17 - $55 / night

Bounce pad (in-ground)

"While we are still nursing a grudge over the ridiculous price gouging Massachusetts enforces on non-residents, I have to admit that the infrastructure of this campground is lovely."
"The campground is well laid out, easy to navigate, and embraces the natural beauty of the dunes along the Massachusetts south coast.
Rest rooms and showers are clean and well kept."
"You need a boat or a ride out there, close to the main land so a canoe / kayak would work.

"It's located close to the Sagamore Bridge on the mainland side. Traffic can be messy in the summer, especially on weekend days!
The campground itself is a haven for RVs."
"State run campground located at beginning of cape cod route 6. The sites can accommodate large rvs and tents. They are dog friendly however, not allowed on beach during peak summer season."
GuideThe staff were very helpful and friendly. They do have some strict rules about plastic bottles and using the dish washing stations. Also, it costs twenty five cents for a three minute shower. Overall, a very nice and well managed campsite.
GuideWas windy and, over cast on our visit, but there is lot’s do. The campground is very clean and well maintained, the staff is very friendly. The showers are clean, free and the water is hot. I would definitely come back.
GuideFriendly staff, nice level pads, clean campground, nice hot showers, quiet and close proximity to lots of things. Loved our site and I would stay again.
ScoutGreat location to be able to walk downtown and also bike over to the national park. Staff were friendly and helpful. Spots were very tight with no privacy.
ScoutQuiet campground with pretty spacious sites. We had a nice pull through with a view of the pond. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
TravelerBeautiful state park. Horseneck is one of the nicest beach areas in the north east. The campground is well laid out, easy to navigate, and embraces the natural beauty of the dunes along the Massachusetts south coast.
Rest rooms and showers are clean and well kept. Staff was SUPER friendly and helpful.
Sites along the beach are spectacular. Inland sites are very nice and have water/electric.
Price of $20 for instate can’t be beat.
ScoutGood size sites. Trees. Decent WiFi. Clean and quiet. Not much for amenities - no camp store, pool, activities.
ScoutI booked Deluxe Cabin 1 at the Boston KOA based on my past experiences in VA and NC. BOSTON was the WORST KOA I've stayed at. The cabin SMELLED of mildew and cigarettes(pic of ashes in the tub), and there was NO HOT WATER, which is against MA law. It was FILTHY, the pots needed to be replaced, and you have to request blankets. I informed the after hours staff about the water, blankets, and smell. The next morning, I went to the office at 9 am and talked to LORI. She was COMBATIVE and confrontational which is weird because she just started her day. As a person of color, I had to walk away because I was frightened. When I returned, BOB Brammer(He wanted to write his name down, so I got it right(his words)) lacked empathy and had a facial expression of annoyance. He was also CONFRONTATIONAL as I explained there was no hot water and the cabin smelled. I informed the national KOA feedback team(Kaitlyn& Tiana) and they said it's handled internally, whatever that means. If you read the reviews about bad customer service, believe it. You can see CUSTOMER SERVICE IS BADDDD! The KOA will probably respond to this review, but NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. I'll be reaching out to TOBY O'ROURKE and OSCAR TANG so they are aware the BOSTON KOA is tarnishing the KOA brand.
LegendGeneral: Over 450 sites (tent 20 amp w/e; 30 amp w/e; 30 amp w/e/s; 50 amp w/e/s; 50 amp w/e; 30, 50 or premium seasonal)
Site Quality: Generally good. Sites are gravel. We had originally reserved Site 98 but there was a large rock and tree roots making it challenging to position our van. We were able to move to Site 95 which was much better. Each site has a picnic table and rock firepit. Trees provide some amount of privacy between many sites.
Bath/Shower house: Spotlessly clean. The cleaning schedule indicates it is cleaned three times daily.
Activities/Amenities:
*Some are seasonal and were closed when we were there in October. These include three pools, a food truck, coffee, and ice cream.
* Others include a pristine laundry room (but you have to purchase a laundry card, so one load is a minimum of $10), shuffleboard, playground, tennis/pickleball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoe pit, soccer and baseball fields, firewood and propane fill, free cable and WiFi, dog park. I’ve probably forgotten a few but you get the idea…
We chose this campground because of its proximity to the Woods Hole ferry terminal. It is not our typical preferred campground but for one night in the off-season, it was very pleasant. It is billed as a family-friendly campground, and I imagine it would be very different during high season. We gladly forgo seasonal amenities for a quieter stay. The staff was very present and welcoming. Note that it is located on a busy highway and if you are approaching from the south, the turn into the campground is hair-raising! There is some road noise at some sites but not for most of them.
