Shawme-Crowell State Forest

The place is well maintained and convenient. It is not easy to find a camp site in Nov in MA. But Area 2 is near the Route 6 so it is a little noisy.

We had a lovely weekend camping at Shawme-Crowell State Forest! The location is super convenient, and the forest itself is beautiful — peaceful, well-maintained, and a perfect Cape Cod getaway. A couple of small suggestions for improvement: The bundled firewood is wrapped in plastic, which feels unnecessary and out of step with the park’s conservation focus — paper wrapping or twine would be much more eco-friendly. The bathroom light bulbs are extremely bright and visible from the Group 3 campsite at night; softer, yellow-toned bulbs would make a big difference for preserving the nighttime forest feel. Overall, though, it’s a wonderful spot that we’ll definitely return to!

I had a blast during my 4 days 3 nights trip to Shawme-Crowell State Forest. As expected from state forest campsites, they don’t disappoint but reservations or bookings are required beforehand, they don’t accept walk-in service. Access to groceries are pretty high so you’ll find yourself close to Starbucks, Dunkin’, Market Basket, and more. Compared to Nickerson State Park this has more access to good amount of stores!

Great campsites amongst tall trees with fire rings and picnic tables. They serve all types of campers, tents, and overland vehicles. They have a store. WOOD. ICE.

Lovely quiet state forest campground with spacious, secluded sites with dry sandy floors. Picnic table and fire ring only. RV spots are limited and back-ins can be tight. No hookups but there are several water spigots by the roads.
