Shady Knoll Campground

Jeanine Munoz

We stayed here for Columbus Holiday Weekend and the price was very reasonable for the Cape. The location is excellent and near attractions. There's a small market across the street for groceries. The sites are small so you have to speak to someone to get an idea of the site location and size. There are only two out buildings but they are very clean and the showers are free and hot! No on site activities, but lots to do! It's the Cape! Very dog friendly too. Great walking trails nearby too. Would definitely return !!

What a wonderful campground! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We tent camped for a long weekend and it was simply perfect. The tent site was a good size; plenty of room for our three room tent and pop up shelter. The foliage surrounding the site provided a beautiful "wall" so you didn't feel you were intruding on the site adjacent to you. The rest room/showers were close by and SPOTLESS! The showers were a nice warm temperature. Centrally located; close to a hiking trail to Eddy Bay and also numerous restaurants and coffee shops. It is pet friendly which was nice! Definitely would return and recommend to others.

Shady Knoll is a real gem. One of the very best campsites we have stayed in - there have been many in Europe and the USA. Very well set out - spotlessly clean and warm showers and bathrooms - music too!! The staff were the very best too - I am often nervous arriving at each new site but they made us feel so welcome - taking the booking over the phone when on the highway as we were late - not easy for Dawn - but not a problem. The lovely staff looking after the site were also so helpful and approachable too. We would and will recommend Shady Knoll to many. Great having well stocked grocery store just outside site and the rail trail short distance away. Hired bikes from Brewster Cycles. Thank you all at Shady Knoll - we had a great time.

"Rooms" doesn't quite fit for a campground, but I'm thinking this correlates more to sites. Our site #25 was great in length, a little tight in width. The sites here are definitely cozy, but adequately supplied with picnic tables, fire pits, and vegetative buffers. The staff here was friendly, as were the neighbors. Close to the Rail Trail and a number of good restaurants. Just minutes from the town beach which allows dogs after September 15th. All in all a great stay - of course perfect weather helped too!

I’d give more stars if I could! Our first time to Cape Cod was last year and we stayed 8 nights at Shady Knoll. We loved it so much that we booked for this year and we’re finishing up our 15 night stay. This campground is quiet, well maintained, and everyone that works here has been incredibly friendly. The showers and bathrooms are kept clean - plus great water pressure and we’ve never run out of hot water. We appreciate the (enforced) quiet hours from 10pm-8am - we’ve never had a poor night’s sleep. There’s a market within walking distance and that’s a huge plus for that item you inevitably forget. They have a little of everything there and they are really friendly, too! You’re close to several beaches, bike trail, great restaurants.. the location is hard to beat. We’re still here and we are already planning our 2024 trip back!

The sites are VERY SMALL. Parking one vehicle is difficult. No room to set up any game like corn hole unless. The staff wasn’t very welcoming at all. At 10 pm, they have a VERY RUDE gentlemen drive around and tell you to stop talking! A conversation between 3 adults was too loud for this place. On two occasions, this man told us we had to stop talking because we were too loud. We all were taken back because we were not loud. The first night he walked into the campsite and said our conversation was too loud. The second night he yelled from his golf cart, “we had to stop talking at 10 pm, and the fire had to be out by water at 11:00, or we would have to pay”. Stating, there was is a penalty for talking after 10 pm. Now camping is where you can meet people from all over and relax and enjoy except at Shady Knoll! This place is very UPTIGHT, and I would not recommend staying here if you want to sit by a fire and talk, play games, and genuinely want to relax! The campground is quiet with not much to do it is maintained well.

If you’re a big family and you need a lot of stimulation, this is not the place for you. For me and my wife(and Brady the mini Schnauzer) this place was the best. Quiet and clean. Outside the campground within a short walk , was a family run market equipped with everything you may have forgotten and a great deli with plenty of sandwich selections.. Beach 1 mile, Bike trail , half mile. We’ll be back in September so we can take Brady on the beach..

We had a lovely private campsite, and the campground itself had nice bathrooms with free showers. The nature trail that you can access from the campground is really lovely and extends to a community garden and a wood and there's even a whole self-guided tour you can take that starts at a kiosk at the community garden. The people were friendly and hands off and the campground was conveniently located to all kinds of great birding locations. There was a really nice built-in bench at our campsite, too. The ground was very hard and it was hard to hammer in the stakes for the tent and also there were a lot of rocks on the ground. Also be careful of the poison ivy.
