Shawme Crowell State Forest

Each site is nestled in between pines.  Although this is definitely dry camping-water spigots are conveniently placed between sites. Bug spray and fans are a definite when sitting outside due to mosquitoes. If there’s not a full moon be sure to have a reliable flashlight to navigate pathways. The restrooms do have hot showers although unkept and unclean-I was informed they are being upgraded. The woman that are employed here were extremely accommodating, polite and helpful-(hopefully you can read between the lines in this statement).   The campground abuts Heritage Museum and Gardens which is 100 acres of well maintained flowering gardens. Several unique buildings exist on the rolling paved walkways, each with a theme of antique cars, toys etc-there is an admission fee. There is a climbing and propelling area in the back of the property, however neighboring residents discouraged it from staying open-The Pilot House Restaurant as well as Fisherman’s View offer a variety of delicious appetizers, entrees, and martinis. And on a last note -check out Treehouse Brewery-great beer and another beautiful view-log onto their website to preorder tickets.

MA residents pay only $17. This place is old. Sites not well maintained and not well labeled. Bathroom were old and could could use updating. No services for an RV. But, you are on Cape Cod.

We have stayed here during our exploration around cape cod. It's a but farther away from the main location, but we loved the quiet and tranquility of this campground.

Hot showers available, but the bathroom is not thoroughly cleaned. I use the same shower stall for 3 nights straight and the same soap was stuck on the exact same spot on the wall for 3 nights straight. The floor is old-dirty due to age, but the shower curtains could use a wash or two.

Dumpster is near the dump station, and that's the only one I found. There are 3 dumpsters and we're overfilled for 3 days. Dump station was clean.

Camp store is near the entrance and it is really hilly to get to on a bike, and a bit too far to walk with a bundle of woods.

Campground 2 (the one in the back), has a really nice playground. The bathroom next to it was clogged when I was there.

At least on weekdays when we were there, it was quiet except for a few revving cars at the nearby roads at night. Staff were all very nice and friendly.
