Nice campground, didn't hear any road noise at night, but during the day there is some. We had a nice big pull through. Lots of amenities. The WiFi was even available at our site. We would stay here again although some of the seasonal sights need a clean. Be very careful when exiting this park on 28 South, the speed posted is 55 but they scream up that road, there is no ramp up lane. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Large sites. No charge for pets. Some spots have WiFi, but there is a hotspot. A pet walker is available for a reasonable fee. Would stay again if on the east coast. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park was very clean, even the seasonal sites, which at some parks start to collect junk and look run down. The staff was very helpful. They have a lot of amenities on site here, games, pools, playground, snacks and ice cream. The in park activities, rentals, etc. are not cheap. We were in the Oyster Cove section which I liked because the site are pretty private (no sewer hookups, 30 amp). That said, it is a very busy place. We tend to like quieter places. There was lots of traffic and people on the streets. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The positives: park, has a lot of amenities..3 pools, ice cream shop, small snack restaurant. Game room and a very friendly,helpful staff. We had a pull-through site, which are large and wide. Heavily treed, which gives great separation from your neighbors. The negatives: A significant number of seasonal/permanents. No limit on dog sizes, so we heard large dogs barking from time to time. From the pull-through area, you can also hear some road noise (especially in the morning) with windows open. We do not have kids, but the park is very kid friendly. All in all, we enjoyed our stay here and I would recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My family and I enjoyed this campground so much that we are considering becoming seasonal campers here. It is located near several beaches and shopping, as well as the Martha's Vineyard ferry. This campground took my husband and I back to the feeling of what is was like to camp when we were kids. There are no fire restrictions, so you can have a fire at any time of the day or night as long as it is kept under control. There are things for the kids to do, such as swimming in 3 pools, a playground, ball field and arcade, but since most of the park is reserved for seasonals there are also several kids who you can tell have known each other for years and all just "play" together. They were all very friendly and accepted our three year old like he was one of the gang, which he really enjoyed. We had a wooded site that was very private and spacious. The only draw back is that you do not know which site you will receive until you check in. There are so many nice sites there, it would have been nice if we could have chosen where we were located. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were never overbearing. The restrooms were clean and well lit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Everthing about this park lived up to website. We stayed mid-week so did not see any noisy partys. Very peaceful and staff very nice and efficient. Weather was awful but, no drainage issues. You can pick up many digital channels w/o cable. Sites are very large with room for two vehicles-no problem. This looks like a fun family park with pools, gamerooms, general store with icecream bar on weekends. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is another campground we highly recommend to people we know and meet. The sites were nicely shaded and private from other sites. The bathrooms were spotless. There were 3 nice pools on site (though they strictly forbid flotation devices which is not great with parents of little kids-when we went there, the season was not in full force and our kids used their bubbles. I will say I've heard they enforce this rule). The seasonal campers were some of the nicest we've met. The location is terrific. I would definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
A so- so campground. Not bad, but not spectacular either. Sites are average condition. We stayed in a pull though. It was very noisy because of its location to the main road outside the campground. I would recommend sites away from the road. The pools were closed but looked nice. Most of the buildings were old, but maintained. The game room was run down and most games were broken. They had good food and ice cream. There were no activities the week I went. The campground is mostly occupied by seasonals( more than 50%). They did have a problem with groups and groups of teenagers hanging around without any parents to be found. It certainly did not have a good atmosphere for the little kids. The campground is very hilly not a great bicycle park. The staff was nice. One problem, it seems they will allow multiple families to camp on just one tent site. One site near us must have had 15 people all crammed onto one tent site. I would go back but would not plan to stay here for a week. Maybe just use the park as a base camp to go into the cape. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had a great time here! Large sites (we even had a nice golf course view with the bay in the distance). Try to avoid sites near the entrance as you'll hear highway noise. It's much quieter further inside. There are a lot of seasonals but they're very well kept and their owners very friendly. The roads are paved. There are 3 large very nice pools and a game room. The snack bar was closed when we were there during the week (after Labor Day). The playground is large and my kids loved it. It's a great place to be on the Cape and within 30-40 minutes from Hyannis. The bathrooms are very clean and there's a supermarket very close by. The staff is friendly and helpful and keep the entire campground very clean. We had trouble with our cable hook up and they sent someone right away to help. I highly recommend the campground. I know they offer a lot of activities during the summer, and bands on the weekend so we'll be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice, very clean. 3 pools, game room and great playground. Many seasonals which are all well-kept. Friendly, helpful staff. I was able to use the WI-FI from my camper which was nice. A great base for day trips to Cape Cod. Supermarket nearby, which is nice too. There is some highway noise, so try to avoid those sites closest to the street. I'll definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground was clean and well kept. The sites were level and easy to enter. There are many seasonal sites that are very well kept with lovely flowers and landscaping. We met a wonderful couple who were seasonal who camped across the street from us by the upper pools. They had been there over 28 years and were so helpful and friendly to my family. One suggestion is to request a site away from the upper pool area if you have young children or like to go to bed before 10:00 pm. On the weekends they have a band or DJ that plays by the pool and it is extremely loud! We could hear the music from our campsite and it was hard for our daughter to fall asleep with the music blaring. The views were nice from our site, we were overlooking a golf course and could see some water (ocean) in the distance. The site was clean and level and had a stone fireplace and picnic table. One negative aspect was the staff at the upper pool. She was a bit rude and condescending to the guests and had a very negative tone and attitude. The rest of the staff was great, but she was not an asset to this campground. Overall, we would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There is no roughing it with this campground. My daughter had a blast with the activities and three pools. We had a very nice site with some privacy. The bathrooms were clean, staff friendly, store prices reasonable. The campground is within 2 miles of the Cape Cod Canal and a short drive from some great little towns. We will be going back. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This was a very nice campground. It is large with over 400 sites but most of them are seasonal. There were probably 50-60 sites for transient campers. If you have a young family there really is no need to leave the CG. They have 3 pools with a very nice playground area and tennis and basketball courts. Nicely stocked store. The bathrooms were dated but were always kept clean. This was one of the only campgrounds on Cape Cod that allowed campfires and also had a pool. This was one of the reasons we chose the CG but I would consider this a top notch CG anywhere in the country. You are at the bottom end of Cape Cod. Driving time to two of the attraction areas on the Cape…… Provincetown - 1 ½ hours and Hyannis - 30 minutes. I highly recommend this CG! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Best park we’ve stayed at so far!!! We have a 36’ 5th Wheel and requested an easy site to back into or a pull thru. Got a site near all the facilities with a fabulous view and breeze. Showers and bathrooms were very clean, even though the park was filled to capacity during the 4th of July holiday week. Kids were kept busy with the planned activities, playgrounds, 3 pools, baseball, basketball and tennis facilities. Rented DVDs from the office one rainy night. Great place to camp with children. Two of the pools have just been renovated. There is a place to get food called “TOP DOG” that has a great fish sandwich, couldn't’t stay away! Had a campfire almost every night. We stayed at site 172 (with W/S/E/and Cable) which was close to the main facility building that had the rec hall, ice cream parlor, bathrooms and laundry. The playground and activity pavilion was across from this building. Never saw litter on the ground, not once!!! The staff drives around constantly in carts and cleans up before the litter has a chance to land! They allow pets on leash and strictly enforce the pet rules. Quiet time is 11pm - 7am and kids curfew is 10pm. Only one night did we have a noisy neighbor and we called the “contact” # for assistance. Park Patrol came right up and quieted them down. No problems after that. Would definitely return to this place! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The very high ratings this campground received from Trailer Life and Woodalls must be for those who like lots of seasonal campers, and planned activities. We stayed 3 weeks, early in the season. Our stay was pleasant, but, as always with campgrounds where the transient campers are situated amidst the seasonal ones, there is a feeling that one is intruding. Visitors are charged for entry - whether they are staying 5 minutes or the day. This was a real nuisance to us, since we were there to visit family and friends, and would like to have welcomed them to our 'home', but the cost would have been prohibitive if we paid for them all to come. Since they all live on the Cape, they had no need to use the facilities, which is what I'm assuming the visitor fee is for. The sites are heavily treed, which makes internet and TV satellite access difficult, even with portable set-ups. Since the cable channels provided by the park are limited, this was a real negative for us. Use of this park was purely for location near family - we would not otherwise use or recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
BAD CAMPGROUND. Almost ruined our stay on Cape Cod. Arrived at about 11:30 but were not allowed in until 2:00 unless we paid for an extra day. Had to drive around with our 38' 5th wheel attached until they would let us in as I was not going to pay $16 for 2 hours. They had taken 2 day deposit on the credit card with no refunds so we were forced to stay or I would have gone elsewhere. When we got to our site we found all the transient sites were empty - there was no reason not to let us in except that they had our money and did not care if we stayed or not. Site was dirt (not gravel) - cable TV had only 18 channels. Very small laundry charged 25 cents for 5 minutes on dryers. Campground has over 400 sites but only 20 for transients - all the rest are seasonals. On the weekend the 20 sites filled up with locals. We had the only out of state tags in the whole park and felt out of place and unwelcome. The campers in the site next to us were outside until midnight drinking and yelling. I tried to call management but there was no one manning the phones so I could't lodge a complaint until the next morning as we were leaving. Not sure why this place is called Bay View as there is neither a bay or a view. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice campground. Security is great and staff is very helful. One of the few campgrounds in the area that accepts pets. A little pricey but you're on Cape Cod. Sites are well maintained. Didn't use many of the facilities as we traveled extensively while in there. Would return and recommend it for a vacation. Very good campground for the young and old alike. A lot of seasonals but wasn't a problem. Stayed in site 30 and site 53. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice, well kept, & clean family campsite. Lots for kids to do, 3 pools, daily activites, playground, arcade, video rentals (for a fee) bike paths & tennis & basketball courts. There is a small store on site, to buy anything you might have forgotten, that also serves ice cream. There is also a food stand by one of the pools for snacks or lunch. Bathrooms were modern & clean. Showers were also very clean but in both the men's and ladies room's there was at least one shower that was not working and was not marked out of order. Staff patrols the park throughout the day & evening. Teen curfew, dog (barking, leash & pick up) rules and quiet hours are strictly enforced. You can hear a pin drop between the hours of 11pm & 8am. The sites range in size and the amount of trees/privacy but even the biggest rigs had a decent amount of outdoor living room, for chairs and/or screen rooms. Seasonal sites were well maintained. We look forward to our next stay! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great place to go with kids. Three pools, big well equipped playground, huge gameroom. Very strict with the rules. Big sites, people (especially workkampers) very nice. At the head of the cape so traffic can be a problem getting in or out on the weekends. We camped here in a camper.

WOW! Very impressed. Spent 8 days here. Very, Very Friendly Staff. So well maintained and clean you could eat off the ground. Large level sites. Activities geared for families. Lots too see and do on the grounds. Add an additional $3.00 per night/per child to the base rate. One small complaint...insuffcient laundry, facilities for size of campground (4 washers, 2 dryers) We camped here in a camper.
We were lucky enough to have a level site right on the canal, so I really enjoyed this campground. You need to be careful when you make a reservation to come here. There appear to be several sites in the "upper area" that are not level and are right on top of each other with no privacy at all. The location on the canal is great if you enjoy what the canal has to offer (walking, biking, fishing, people/boat watching). They have a very nice playground, but other than that there is not much else to offer young children. When I came here as a kid there used to be a salt water swimming hole, but that is closed. There are a few beaches a short drive away such as Onset and Scusset, but other than that you will have to go over the Bourne bridge and onto the Cape for any swimming. The staff is very nice and very helpful. The sites were well maintained and fellow campers were very friendly. There are a lot of people that have camped here forever and keep returning. It is a nice relaxing campground in the fall. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a convenient campground where you don't have spend your vacation fighting traffic across the bridge. Another positive is the Cape Cod canal where you can enjoy fishing, biking, or just sitting and watch the boats go by. There are several access points to the canal at this campground. Now the negatives: The sites are very, very close together and have absolutely no privacy. The possibility exists to camp next to a seasonal person which can be unpleasant. I recommend going with some friends so you can have sites together and not worry about bothering the neighbors. Restrooms not very clean: they smelled like a sewage treatment plant. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Bourne Scenic Park – Bourne, MA. We haven’t been back to this park in over 15 years and it has changed. It is on the Cape Cod Canal on the east end. This park is on COE land but run by the town of Bourne so the price is higher. It is on the west end of the Cape Cod Canal. We paid with the fall rates $32 with electricity and water. They have added electricity to almost all sites now and the price has gone up to reflect this. There are almost 100 sites in three different sections of this park. Some areas the sites are on top of each other but then there is a wooded section where one could find privacy. Sites can be found for big rigs and for tents. One can park their camper here for the summer season they limit the number allowed to I think one third of the park and there might be a waiting list. What is nice about this campground is that it is right under the Bourne Bridge at the entrance to Cape Cod. Crossing the bridge one can head for the ferry for Martha’s Vineyard or tour that section of the Cape. One can fish, bike or hike along the canal road. Right now they have taken out the natural pond used for swimming and are putting in a huge pool which should be completed by next summer. Biking west there is a small town for restaurants and shopping (small) and heading west you end up at Scusset State Park (which also has camping) with a beach and fishing pier. The canal is lit up at night and at all times you can watch boats crossing the canal – very peaceful. Make sure you check closing dates for any campgrounds in New England because most close at the end of Columbus Day weekend. I believe this one stays open later! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was just too big for our tastes. Campers were jammed in everywhere. Campground traffic was non-stop until around midnight. We were camped next to a site that had 3 tents, a screen house, 3 dogs and 6 people, or as my wife called it,'the refugee camp'. The dogs would bark when anyone passed their site which was about every 30 seconds, there was trash and food scraps and dirty dishes all over their picnic table(we ended up with ants in our camper). I kept having to chase off a stray cat that kept trying to bring us a dead chipmunk as a 'welcome' present. Dumpsters were full on Saturday night and were pretty ripe by Sunday night. Drunk, noisy neighbors across the street, snobby seasonals all over the place. Constant road noise from Rte. 6. The only good things about this place were a decent playground with fairly new equipment, clean bathrooms and the access to the Cape Cod Canal trail. Other than that, I think we will pass on a return visit. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The park was lots of fun. Noise from the road was constant but dulled by the trees. The campground was quiet and pleasant for walking or riding bikes. The Cape Cod Canal was within eyesight of our site providing casual watching of the boats on the canal. Be sure to bring your bikes as the bike path is fantastic and will take you to the beach. The camp store had great ice cream for a reward at the end of your biking day. Fires were allowed which made for more evening fun. I would recommend this campground for families and singles. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is great if you love the canal. There isn't much to do in the campground, but you can bike, roller blade and walk on the canal, or just sit and watch the boats go by. The staff are very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice view of the canal. Great if you want to bike along the canal. The hookups aren't always located conveniently. Make sure you have an extra hose and power extension cord. The site was spacing was good. The rest rooms are clean. However the rest rooms near our site had all stainless steel sink and toilet, not very user friendly. Each site has grey water only sewer connections which may only be dumped using a garden hose. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
What can you say about this campground except location, location, location. If you enjoy sitting, walking, fishing, on the side of the Cape Cod Canal, then this is the place for you. If you are looking for a campground with a "resort" feeling, then this is not. There is no pool, and no you can not swim in the canal. Some sights are tight, and you can not request a site upon reservation. We did have a great site and will be going back again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a nice campground with spacious sites. We enjoyed direct access to the canal bike path. We had a good experience camping here. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The big draw to this park is the adjacent Cape Cod Canal. Most of the sites are seasonals. Each site had a gray water dry well, but you could only use it with a garden hose--no 3" hoses. Central dump station. Two many trees for satellite reception in almost all sites. It was a tight squeeze for big rigs, but folks managed to get their large trailers and fifth wheels in. The park was almost empty when we were there, and they are closing for the season next weekend (October 29). We camped here in a Motorhome.
A few canal view sites are available on a limited, first come, first reserve, basis. We were
lucky enough to get one with a great view. The deep water canal has some large ships going through night and day. The management tries to offers various entertainment on friday and saturday evenings, during the on-season. A/C voltage is very low most times. IE: 105v. The salt water pool is a joke, it's more a weedy mudhole than a pool. More than 60% of sites are squatted on by poorly mannered seasonal trailer campers, who seem to loathe transients. But this campground is the only one that offers a decent view of the cape cod canal and is located in an area with lots to do. A great time can be had by ignoring the bad locals and enjoying the view and area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a large park but at least half the sites are occupied by seasonal/permanent residents. Roads are paved, some wide, some narrow. Sites are dirt and some are level, others are not. There are lots of trees making it hard for a large rig to get up and down the roads and into a site. This is a family campground, lots of kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.
90% were Seasonal RV/5th Wheels and they all had the choice sites with views of the canal. There were no view sites for anyone else because if you are parked behind them you couldn't see the canal because they blocked the view. They should allocate choice sites for RVers traveling through but they don't. Lots of trees with falling acorns. Trying to park our RV was really kinda of hard with all the trees. Fall rates are very reasonable if you stay 2 weeks it costs $140. This is after the date of Sept. 13th. During the week the park is empty and then on the weekend in come all the families. It is ok for the price. Bourne Canal has a path 7.1 miles long for bike riders, rollerbladers, walkers and fishing. 1/2 hour from Woods Hole and Hyannis. So if you don't mind parking in the back rows its OK. We camped here in a camper.
