Having camped at many State Parks and Recreation areas across the US, we were surprised to find this little "jewel" just 1/2 hour from our home. Our site was clean and ready at check-in, which BTW was easy and friendly. Sites are all back-in and ours, (#62), was shaded and private. Combination of big rigs, RV's, trailers and few tents. A large Rest Room is central to the camping area and services all with adequate parking if needed. Sites surrounding the Rest Room area tend to be exposed with little greenery or privacy. Black-top roads run throughout and most sites looked level although water and electric can be a bit of a distance from site. We found ours by accident in the bushes. As stated in other reviews, this is not a waterview campground, but Scusset Beach is a 5 minute walk across the parking lot. Bath House, snack bar, boardwalk to beach and 3 lifeguard stations make this a popular beach. Also accessible from same parking lot is a long rock jetty for fishing (striped bass are in season right now), as well as the beginning of the 7 mile Cape Cod Canal bike path which is bike friendly for all ages and abilities. Many fresh seafood markets are nearby as well as a variety of restaurants and take-out. The only disappointment was to find not only are campfires prohibited, but no charcoal grills allowed on site either. The community fire-pit was not used during our stay. All in all we were were delighted to have found this well kept, friendly campground with so much to offer, and have already made a return reservation for the early fall. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We try to come to this campground at least once a year. It is one of my favorite state parks in Massachusetts. The only draw back is that there are no fires allowed on the camper sites, only the tent sites. This year they added a "community" fire pit and I was told that you could bring your own wood and have a fire as long as you extinguished it with water after you are done. The sites are a little unpredictable from year to year. Since this is a beach campground, they allow the "brush" to grow so a site that may have been spacious one year may not be so spacious the next year. Overall they are all pretty nice sites though. They are all level, but you do need an extra long water hose to hookup to the water spigot. There is also a lot of poison ivy, so if you are allergic you need to be careful. The thing that draws us back every year is the location. We like being right on the Canal. If you enjoy fishing, walking, biking, bird watching and sitting on the beach, this is a wonderful place. It is very peaceful, since most campers retire early due to the lack of fire. The water at the beach is ALWAYS very cold, but it is a beautiful beach and very clean. It is very easy to get on the Cape via the Sagamore Bridge, which is right outside the campground and it is also accessible to downtown Plymouth. The staff have always been very friendly. It is very difficult to get reservations here and they are required. There are several campers that do not abide by the 2 week camping limit and if you're on a site that they are trying to move to, you may be "pushed" a little by them when it gets close to checkout time. I avoid this by booking an extra night so we don't have to leave right at 11 am. The dump station is open during limited hours and on a busy weekend you can expect a long wait. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

My family loved it and would liked to have stayed longer. Instead of having our usual campfire we went to the canal and watched the boats go by. My wife has never found a sand dollar in her life and she and my daughter found four. If your into collecting shells, star fish, or little crabs this is the place to go. We would definitely go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
