Pinewood Lodge Campground

Tall pines line the roads at Pinewood Lodge Campground in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a privately run facility open May through October with sites running $50 to $110 per night. The trees are trimmed high enough that big rigs can navigate without issue, and site 47 draws repeat mentions for its length, level ground, and grass. Most roads through the campground are unpaved gravel, which reviewers note can generate significant dust during dry stretches.

Cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews. Ashley D. calls it "very quiet, very clean, and the workers are very personable and polite," and the bathrooms receive similar marks from multiple visitors. Showers are coin-operated at $0.25 per three minutes, a detail that draws some complaints. The WiFi at individual sites runs on a 2.4GHz network adequate for browsing but not streaming; the lodge itself has faster speeds.

The campground sits alongside a small pond with a canoe and kayak launch, rentals, a fishing pier offering catch-and-release without a license requirement, and a dock on the water. There is also a playground, horseshoe pits, a laundry facility, ice cream stand, and a large dog park with two separate runs. Dogs are permitted but come with a $5 per day fee, and posted signs restrict where they can be walked within the campground. Campers should also be aware of two consistent noise sources: a gun range and a municipal airport nearby.

Full hookups with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer are available, and a dump station is free to use. Honey wagon pump-out service runs $35. Downtown Plymouth is roughly 10 minutes away, and a grocery store sits about 2 miles from the campground. Nearby alternatives include Cozy Wooded Nook and Ellis Haven Campgrounds for campers weighing their options in the area.

Reservations are accepted, and the campground is gated with a $15 per day visitor fee. Campers who want pond-side sites should book early; those spots go quickly. The combination of full hookups, on-site activities, and proximity to Plymouth's historic waterfront makes this a workable base for anyone planning more than a single overnight.
