We stayed at this nice campground while visiting Plymouth,MA. It is only a 15 minute drive into town. There are many large ponds in the campground but they were very low due to no rain. We may not camp there again as there are no paved roads and it was difficult to keep the sand out of our camper.

Dogs are a big issue. I own them, and I would be embarrassed if mine constantly barked for hours on end over nothing...just people walking by. Dogs should be required to be fitted with collars. Bathrooms are danky and the doors have be half open if you are sitting down because is is so cramped.

This is about 90% privately owned sites, most with permanent structures of a kind. The transient sites are mixed into the middle with low trees, poor signage and the speed bumps are high and narrow so your RV is twisted and rocked violently even at a crawl! Transient is just an after thought.

I love this place! My family and I come here every year for the pass 8years and going! Great Family Campground. Just wished they still had tents site!

The website indicates spacious, the sites are more on the primitive in dirt and weeds. You need to search to see where to park your RV and locate sewer hookup. Extremely disappointing, the only positive was cable. Would not stay here again.
