What you should know
Navigation challenges: GPS directions to some campgrounds can be unreliable. A Tuxbury Pond visitor warns, "A little tip about GPS: if you're using Apple Maps, it will likely take you to a turn that is not the campground entrance, there's even a hand-written sign on someone's lawn that has directions to the entrance."
Seasonal population: Many campgrounds have a significant number of seasonal residents. A visitor to Tuxbury Pond RV Campground observed, "There are lots of seasonal campers so if you don't like that atmosphere this is probably not the place for you."
Cell service variability: Connection can be limited at certain locations. One camper at Tuxbury Pond mentioned, "Forget about cellphone signal, it was 0," which is important information for travelers needing to stay connected.

Tips from RVers
Hookup layouts: Understanding utilities placement helps with positioning. At Tuxbury Pond, sites sometimes have awkward hookup arrangements, as one camper noted about another location: "The water and electric were between our site and the next on one side and sewer between our site and the one on the other side."
Seasonal booking advantages: Off-peak stays can provide better experiences at Thousand Trails Moody Beach. "We came in in October, the foliage is beautiful on the 'wooded' sites. There are new sites with gravel and no trees as well, we had our choice," notes one RVer who appreciated the flexibility during shoulder season.
Water quality variations: Water pressure and quality differ between locations. At Sea Coast, a camper praised "Some of the best clear, clean, drinking water at high pressure we have come across," which is valuable information for RVers planning water usage.
