    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.

    Sweetwater Forest

    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.

    Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

    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.

    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.

    Charge Pond Campground — Myles Standish State Forest

    Camping, biking and kayaking

    Over Memorial Day weekend, we camped at Myles Standish. We were in the Charged Pond area, in loop F. The campground doesn't have hook ups, but there is a dump station with water and water available around the loops. The lower part of the camp ground is set up in different loops. While this is a large campground, it didn't feel that large as the loop probably had 50 sites. Our site was wooded and pretty private for a state campground. We had plenty of room and the site had a fire pit and picnic table. Each loop has one bathhouse. Ours, unfortunately, did not have hot water. We were told if we wanted it, we could go to any of the other loops. The bathrooms had two showers and three stalls, two sinks. There were at least three outlets in the women's room which was convenient for a quick cell phone charge. 

    The check in process was a little challenging. We arrived later in the day and had hoped to get our pop up set up by dark, but the check in process took almost 30 mins between waiting in line and a VERY slow attendant. He was more worried about my out of state phone number than getting us checked in. He also kept trying to put us in a different section of the campground. I finally pulled up my reservation to show him that I was in the Charged Pond area. 

    Our daughters rate campgrounds by their bathrooms. I was pleasantly surprised that they received at least one cleaning during our time there. But regardless, the bathrooms weren't that clean. It wasn't the worst bathroom (thanks Yosemite for setting that standard), but it could have been a little more attended to. It scored a - "not so bad that we'd never come back" rating from the girls. 

    The bike trails through the part are great and we enjoyed them. Paved and mountain bike trails. The map they give you at check in isn't very good - hard to read and a little blurry. We picked up a nice printed, folded map at the visitor's center in town and it was much nicer and easier to read the trails. Take the map with you as the bike trails were a little confusing.

    We also enjoyed the various kettle ponds. We kayaked one morning and enjoyed watching the people catching good sized fish around us. The beach (at least at Charged Pond) had a nice sandy section and a bathhouse. 

    The town of Plymouth is about a 10 min. drive if you need anything. We never saw a camp store or even a place to get ice. But we didn't look that hard either. 

    I was surprised that it was fairly quite and not busier on a holiday weekend. We felt most people respected quiet hours and there were even empty sites in our loop. 

    We will definitely go back. It was a nice, quick getaway.

    Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

    Great 1st experience

    They have glamping sites, which include full hookup, fire pit with chairs, octagon shaped picnic table and stone patio for your rv front door. Pets welcomed, a ton of extra activities like row boat rental, kayak rental, mini golf for $3 all day, must bring a bicycle helmet if your riding bikes(state law), a small store, firewood for purchase, gated community, so you feel safe, 3 pools, laundry etc. We were impressed, only thing is main pool seems alittle run down and arcade area could look better than it does. Wish the had outdoor mo ie nights and crafts for kids

    Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground

    Good but a little boring

    I like this campground because it is close to home.  There isn't much to do here within the campground.  It has two areas.  The one nearer the camp entrance is smaller than the second.  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.  The playground is being revamped and looks awesome so far.  Unfortunately the bathroom right next to it is closed while the playground is being updated.  It is very hilly but many people enjoy riding their bikes here.  When driving, be careful of them.  I've hiked the trails and you have to be careful. They aren't always well maintained or marked.  They are right next to the main highway so you get car noise and can usually see them as well.  I find them to be uninteresting.  There is no swimming on site either.  On the positive side, the campground is within driving distance of great fishing, biking and tourist areas.

Guide to Woods Hole

Camping options near Woods Hole, Massachusetts range from state parks to private resorts within a 30-minute drive radius. The area features coastal pine forests with sandy soil and average summer temperatures around 75°F, ideal for tent and RV camping from May through October. Fall camping often brings fewer crowds and cooler temperatures in the 50-60°F range, with many campgrounds staying open through mid-October.

What to do

Explore canal bike paths: Bourne Scenic Park provides direct access to the Cape Cod Canal bike trail, a paved pathway perfect for cycling or walking. "The path to walk or bike was well kept and overall it was a beautiful place to be! Look forward to finally going back at some point in the near future!" notes Paige R. from Bourne Scenic Park.

Fishing opportunities: The canal area offers excellent fishing spots accessible from several campgrounds. Rick R. comments about Bourne Scenic Park: "If you like fishing this is your place." Many campers bring their gear to catch striped bass and other local fish species during summer months.

Freshwater swimming: For those who prefer pond swimming over ocean beaches, Nickerson State Park Campground offers clean, freshwater swimming. Phil Y. shares, "The clean, freshwater swimming at the kettle ponds (which are usually uncrowded and within less than a minute's walk from our campsite) is incredible."

Historic site visits: The area's proximity to Plymouth makes it convenient for history-focused day trips. Pinewood Lodge Campground serves as a good base for exploring historic landmarks. "Convenient to all kinds of shopping and touristy things," notes Jim N Kim P., highlighting the campground's strategic location for area attractions.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground offers good site separation for those seeking more seclusion. "The sites offered a lot of privacy, and some hiking trails within the campground. Would definitely recommend!" explains Gina M. from Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground.

Pond access for recreation: Peters Pond RV Resort features a large pond that many campers enjoy. John D. reports, "We really enjoyed the beach raft, able to kayak and did some fishing. Weather was still warm. Pool was good, pond was great." This resort offers multiple water recreation options beyond just swimming.

Family-friendly atmosphere: Pinewood Lodge Campground maintains a quiet environment suited for families. Ashley D. shares, "Pinewood is always my go-to campground. Very quiet, very clean, and the workers are very personable and polite. Been going there since I was a small kid, they never disappoint."

Seasonal activities: Many campgrounds organize regular events, particularly during summer months. Boston/Cape Cod KOA runs scheduled programs for kids. Amy G. notes, "My kids loved the train rides, movie night, flash light candy hunt, and arts and crafts," describing the appeal of organized activities.

What you should know

Site selection matters: At Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins, choosing the right site type significantly impacts your experience. One visitor cautioned, "Booked site in early July for Sept stay. Paid for a premium glamping site 2200 Sq ft with paver patio... Arrived and was given a site in 'motorhome row'. Very small and no paver patio."

Noise levels vary: Some campgrounds near Woods Hole can be busy, especially during peak season. Mary V. from Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins notes, "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."

Shower facilities: Bathroom facilities vary widely between campgrounds. Some require quarters for showers. Stephen R. comments about Pinewood Lodge, "Very quiet place, beautiful sites nice fireplaces bathrooms are close by and clean. Don't care for the coin operating showers."

Alcohol policies: State parks and private campgrounds have different rules regarding alcohol. Randy R. observes about Myles Standish, "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."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: When glamping close to Woods Hole, Massachusetts with children, consider campgrounds with play areas. Thomas A. from Cape Cod Campresort mentions, "Excellent. Very clean, neat campground with plenty of activities for kids….kids really love the lake!"

Water activities for kids: Charge Pond Campground — Myles Standish State Forest offers pond swimming that families appreciate. Katie D. describes it as "Beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly isolated! Swimming, fishing, camping, hiking, trails, boating and more await."

Organized children's programs: During summer months, look for campgrounds offering structured activities. Tristan L. shares about Cape Cod's Maple Park Campground: "Beautiful grounds with all the amenities you'll need. Un level grounds so specify what you need. Very tight tent sites and very very busy so not very private."

Dog-friendly options: Many families travel with pets, and Orange L. notes about Peters Pond RV Resort, "Large sites and very friendly staff. This campground has a great dog park, pool, large pond."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: RVers should be prepared for uneven terrain at some campgrounds. Nancy W. observes about 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."

Grey water handling: Some campgrounds have unique setups for waste disposal. Our Greight Escape explains, "No on site drainage for black water (grey takes an adapter). You will need a poop tote," when describing Bourne Scenic Park's facilities.

Hookup availability: For those seeking glamping close to Woods Hole with full hookups, Jean C. advises about Scusset Beach: "The RV sites have paved parking pads and picnic tables, but the area to the side of the parking pads sometimes slopes away, so it's less usable for chairs, etc."

Late season options: Some campgrounds extend their season for self-contained units. Jean C. adds about Scusset Beach State Reservation, "Scusset Beach offers an extended camping season, although the extended season is restricted to self-contained units as the restrooms are turned off."
