“Nice Campgroud”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2007
1
person found this review helpful

We camped in a tent at this campground as a base to tour around Cape Cod. There was a good mix of tenters and trailers. The grounds are very well kept, clean and somewhat private - no sites were totally private but there are lots of trees surrounding you - so you're never right out in the open. The toilets and showers were cleaned regularily and although there are only three showers for women and three for men, we never had to wait to take a shower. This is one of the only campgrounds on the Cape that allow real campfires at night and provide fire pits - which is great. They sell fire wood or you can bring in your own. The campground was very quite - I saw campground staff patrolling the grounds at night to monitor the noise level and in the early morning as well. The staff was helpful and offer a shuttle to the ferry to Martha's Vineyard and a beach to avoid the parking costs - we choose not to do this as the times are limited as to when the drop off and pick up are. The location of the campground is ideal - it's very close (10 min. drive) to the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. It's an hour drive to the tip of Cape Cod - Provincetown (great place for whale watching!) And it's about 2 hours to get to Boston, Pylmouth and Salem - 3 hours to Glouscester. Plus there are plenty of beaches in the area as well. The campground is small but well maintained - half the trailers there I believe are there year round, and the other half is for the people just camping for a while. We'd stay there again for sure.

“Safe, small, crowded”

Luckily we had only a one day reservation. Overall the stay was a negative experience. I'll try and be fair and give pros and cons.

First the Pros. The campground staff are very nice and offer lots of information to those who are not familiar with the area. There is a free shuttle to a beach; we didn't make use of it but i think it is worth mentioning since it is free. They have employees who putt around the grounds 24/7 providing some sense of security. All sites have a metal fire ring, water, electric hook up and picnic table. There are shade trees.

Ok now the cons. The website talks of your serene private campsite. This is a joke. The campground is relatively small considering the amount of sites and so it basically feels like a campsite parking lot. There is just about no buffer between sites so you feel like you are camping with your neighbors! When we set up our tent we were literally 5 feet from our neighbors tent on one side and about 8 feet from our neighbors on the other. The campsites are quite small, and ours resembled an all dirt parking spot. Also i think people actually live in campers in a section of the campground so that section resebles a trailer park. The bathrooms were fairly small and the stalls were cramped. The cleanliness seemed average. They do use cloth towels which made me a bit wary not knowing how often they were cleaned.

I would suggest looking at another cape cod campground.

“Great Camping in a safe and clean campground”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2007

person found this review helpful

I have stayed at this camp ground for the past two years and I think it is great!! We rent the "Authentic" Tipi's and my kids have a blast. We go with a bunch of other familes and the kids have plenty of space to run around. It is quiet and I feel very safe letting my kids roam around with there friends. The location is great too! Close to the beach and to the Ferry to the Vinyard. They even have complimentarty shuttle service! I have always thought the camp ground was clean and very friendly service. I would recommend the campground. Where else can you stay in a real Tipi...So much fun for the kids!!

Happy Camping!

“DIRTY Campground - dirty cabins - stay away”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2007

people found this review helpful

We found this campground on google search for cabins in Cape Cod. We
visited this place in August 2005.

We just rent a cabin. But we visit the entire site and everything is really bad.

The cabin is only clean one time per year..... no matter the number of customer who rent it.

When we arrive to the campground, we just found few advices: NO REFUD
for ANY REASONS (may be 3 or 4 pannels...) We ask to the reception to visit our cabin before to complete the payment....but they told us they will take the payment on our credit card even if we decide to
leave....(not a warm welcome after 6 hours driving.)

When we entered into the cabin...we see that everything is dirty:
black hands track on the walls - dirty linens - dirty fridge - full of old things from previous visitors on the carpet and also larges Cobweb. Really the dirtiest campground I ever visit in my live!!!

We ask to reception to send someone to clean (only because we can not
leave and take back our monney....) They told us they will send somebody tomorrow....We just purchased some cleaning stuff (to be able to sleep quiet for our first night).

The day after; we visited the public showers of the campground.... They just add towels on the floor and never clean.....Dirty - black -showers....May be they add 3-4 levels of towels on the floors around the shower....but don't clean anything.....

We was supposed to stay 6 nigts...but short our trips to 3 nights and
decide to leave....and rent another hotel out of the Cape....to Plymouth....(but we nevery been refund)

The campground in general is really bad : very very very small site for trailers, no pool, not clean......

My suggestion is really: find another better campground.

The only pro for this campground is the location near of the beach. (but you don't see the sea from the campground).

  • Liked — nothing - except may be the location - near of the beach
  • Disliked — DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY
