Shady Knoll Campground

We stayed here for three nights. The kids loved the playground but missed a swimming pool.

Toilets en showers are dated but doable.

Sites have quite some privacy and are shaded. Campground is peaceful and d quiet

It has a very nice shop with sitting room and game room. Well maintained and staff is very friendly. We would definitely visit Shady Knoll again.

We stayed 3 nights on site 58. Campground was super clean and well maintained. 

They allow fires until 11pm.  It was very quiet and the staff were very helpful. We've already booked for next year! Can't wait to come back.

We had a long weeknd celebration to attend at the start of the summer. We love camping so we thought this is perfect save some money and camp. We ended up at Shady knoll and we absolutely loved it. We had stayed at another campsite last year nearby. Not even close to this one in term of everything listed below. One of my favorite things about this campsite were the bathrooms! They were so clean and comfortable. Nice toilets. Really it matters!Showering rooms were separate. Beautiful shaded campsites with privacy you just can’t beat it when you’re a minute or two from the beach! The little camp store was fully stocked and our kids loved it. Such friendly people!! We spent a lot of time at Paynes Creek -the sunsets!!! Also a favorite the rail trail which was fabulous. We will absolutely be back

They offer several kinds of sites with or without electricity, all have water. The sites also range in size depending on need.

The office staff is very nice and will set aside your packet if you're arriving after they close.

The sites are well maintained and have a bit of foliage separation.

Each site has a fire pit and picnic table.

They do have quite hours which is nice when you're tired.

Safe location with several beautiful parks, sites and establishments fairly close to enjoy.

Lovely campground with good shade and layout. Privately owned and managed - staff very nice. Small camp store at registration office (with firewood) and a slightly larger small market store about a block away. We stayed in campsite 56 and it was lovely - level, clean and shaded. There is a shirt nature trailhead on Eddy Property at back of campground near campsites 98-100. It makes a loop including through shady areas and some beautiful public vegetable and flower gardens. It also connects to Lower Road. If you’re go left on Lower Road after the gardens you will walk about 1/4 mile and then get to the other Eddy Property. There’s another trailhead there and it takes you about half mile to some bluffs overlooking the bay abs Brewster Flats. Beautiful at sunset. Campground is also near the rail trail for biking. Nice place. We would return.

Really nice little campground. My only complaint is that the sites are very close together but it is the Cape! Facilities and store are clean and nice. Great location, close to beach and bike trail.

Very close campsites, made it impossible for me to eat chips at around 10:30pm without everyone hearing and some dogs barking

Child friendly cramp ground with people who rent spots year-round, although the campground is only open seasonally. 

We reserved a group site right by the nature trail. Perfect for a large family and 7 min bike ride to two beaches

Sites are private. There’s a great walking trail connected to the campground. They have good access to the bay beaches and the Cape Cod Rail Trail- although you do have to drive ona busy road to get there.

I enjoyed Shady Knoll , it was very quiet and in a convenient location. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

This was a very nice campground. Our particular site was a little on the small side, without much greenery to separate from the other sites but the weather was horrible so we spent most of our time inside playing games anyway. The restrooms and showers were very clean! The people who run this spot are nothing but friendly and helpful. There was a short but very nice nature trail within the grounds. There are also full hookups for those with RVs. The tent sites looked very nice and more private, but not sure about hookups in those spots.

There are many things to do close by- a lot of bay side beaches, coffee shops and a wonderful bike trail. Nickerson is right down the street as well which opens up a lot of recreation options.

Would totally recommend and would stay here again.

Nice tent sites. Near Nickerson State Park which is a must see by bike trail and to cool off after at a forest lake beach.

I really like this campground. The sites were on the smaller side and closely packed but there was good foliage between sites to lend a little privacy. The bathrooms are very good. Private unisex showers were very clean and had great water pressure/temperature. I believe all sites are hooked up with water which is amazing to me and most have power.
