We've had no problem with our hook ups. Everything ran as it should. The campground has a Wi-Fi, but I did incur some buffering, but this campground also offers year-round camping so I'm sure there was a lot of people using it no big deal They also offer propane fills, which is convenient I booked online, which was easy fast and convenient Check-in at the campground was easy, fast convenient staff member was friendly and answered any questions I had I also felt the price for four days three nights was very reasonable. Total cost was $130. As far as if you need to leave the campground to go anywhere, I would say a Walmart Home Depot Lowe's grocery store in Concord area is roughly 25 to 30 minute ride, which is not bad The transient area in which we camped in we camped in site A4 all of the sites are for campers plug-in area. There are tent sites available, but the area we camped in all of the rv sites were covered in stone which to me seems clean and convenient. There is a pond with picnic tables paddle boats in a beachy area. It's April so no need for that but the view is pretty and it seems that that can only be seen from the transient area, not from long-term camping or from the tent area. There was a beautiful loon on the pond, which was often singing. It was nice to wake up to that in the morning and go to bed to it. There is a bathhouse with an adjacent laundry room. The bath house is very well kept again. This is April. It's very fresh wood and seems to me newly renovated. Water was very hot in the sink. i'm not sure about the laundry room. I did not need it, and the door was locked. There is a small playground for the children with some swings down at the beach Each camping area comes with a nice picnic table. They don't seem to be dilapidated in any way shape form. They also come with a fire ring, but there is no grate to cook on. We did walk the whole entire campground, long-term short-term and tent sites I found the tent sites to be nothing. I would be interested in if I had a tent long-term. There was some great sites deep in the woods overall, would I recommend yes, would I come back yes Thank you for a great first trip!

We will be back, thank you for taking our last minute reservation.

I began staying at Sandy Beach as a seasonal camper in 2012. In the early years, it was a wonderful…read moreplace to spend summers with my young family. There were plenty of events, live bands, and activities for kids, and along the way, I made lifelong friends. For a long time, it truly felt like a community. Unfortunately, as the years went on, the experience steadily declined. The family-friendly events diminished, the bands became fewer, and the overall sense of community fun disappeared. What didn't decline, however, were the prices -- in fact, they rose significantly year after year, while the value provided shrank. In addition, more and more restrictive rules were placed on seasonal campers. This drove many long-term families to leave, and weekends that used to be full -- like Labor Day and the Fourth of July -- are now marked by empty sites. Sadly, I too have decided to leave after 13 seasons. For context, next year's seasonal fee for my site would have been over $8,000 plus taxes. On top of that, the campground instituted a troubling policy: you cannot sell your camper on-site without passing an "inspection." This inspection is not carried out by licensed professionals, but by staff with no clear qualifications. If your camper doesn't pass, you're forced to remove it by crushing and dumping it -- even if someone else might want to fix it up and enjoy it. This is wasteful, unfair, and puts families at the mercy of subjective decisions. After 13 years of loyalty, it's disheartening to see how far Sandy Beach has strayed from the place it once was. I can no longer recommend it to families looking for the kind of community and value that originally drew me here.

From five year seasonal overall a terrible experience , Management is…read morehopelessly disconnected, CSCG previous leadership is when I moved in during the days of Conner since Conner's departure of one year ago I've noticed a serious lack of coordination, empathy, genuine, caring from anybody and everybody at that campground. The campground is managed with lackluster results through part-time seasonal safety officers home, never enforce rules, thoroughly evenly or safely for all guests all seasonal, including this one, I know because I lived there for five years There is a click within the campground of which it seems that if you're not striving to be the most popular person or the most popular couple, you don't fit in, a majority of the employees of the campground and of safety all belongs to this group. If you like constant marketing and self promotion that this place is for you. The services of the campground on seasonal sites of which mine was very, very small. I experienced minor flooding, a constant lack of water and periodic power outages. The advertise Wi-Fi is a name only if you're sitting directly next to the office to make one phone call. The workout area and dog park are a nice feature however, my dog was very seriously injured along the fence by an extended screw . Overall safety of the campground is a spin of the wheel depending on what day and who are. I've seen many reviews about CSCG with the owners rebuttal of a safe campground with fun for everybody with the exception of me apparently. The activities at the campground are limited to finger painting and encouraging diabetes while learning to gamble. Outside of crafts they do have visually appealing pools again with adult only semi enforced rules, glass bottles, enclosure, kids in hot tub again, depending on the day and who's working.. 26 open seasonal sites and counting, CSCG should seriously consider their CM or BBB rating, which I am adjusting for them. It's too bad about the recorded incident on site last August 15 th. On your property with one of your "employees" It could and should have been handled better .

New rec-hall, new bathrooms rewired the entire electrical system, new cabins, paving etc I could go on and on! They truly showed pride of ownership and made it a great place for families. Every holiday weekend they would have great bands at the rec hall, always had fun activities for the kids etc. In 2022 the owners were offered a chance to sell, and with their kids growing older, they jumped at the opportunity..... I don't blame them. Anyway, the new owners were a big corporation, and of course, they had to hire someone to run the place. Bit by bit, the once beautiful campground began falling into disrepair. The office was never open, they no longer offered WIFI or cable TV, they even stopped selling propane! Who does that? The beach area was neglected and no longer raked.. sad indeed. We were getting less and less, and paying more and more! Several seasonal campers left and what was a long wait list for a site, became a shell of its former self. Hopefully management gets it together and turns the corner soon, otherwise it will become another condo development.

Now we have a basic solar kit to keep the batteries charged I was ready to go for it. This place is BEAUTIFUL. Pros and cons aside for a minute, we didn't want to leave. My husband is the beach lover but said this was probably his favorite we've camped at so far. (Granted some of it had to do with it being less than perfect weather and come Sunday morning we had almost the whole section to ourselves.) In our opinion the north side is nicer, and more set up size-wise for trailers. Any site from 101-112 is truly lake side and you can put your kayak or canoe in the lake right from there. We stayed at 116, and that section is more of a steep drop off but you still have wonderful lake views. But, it is also set up somewhat awkwardly with having to drive over the grass with not super clear markings. (119 is in front of 116 FYI. We felt bad setting up as we blocked some of their view.) That said, if you camp with friends, esp. tent camping it's a great area to reserve. The row of pull-through sites one up from the lake-side still offer a great water view and nice privacy between. The drawback is that if you are a family with young kids the access to the beach/swimming area is over at the east side. The bathrooms on the north side are small, very rustic and don't have dishwashing stations. However the ladies room shower has been updated to a real shower head and dial control that will let you regulate the hot water and stays on, not like the push button ones at Scusset or Salisbury! They were as clean as they could be, meaning they are old with an eroded cement floor so not much could be done. Oh and other reviews have mentions the traffic noise from 202 is loud at those sites that are nearest to roadway, and yes, we rode our bikes over there and it was terrible. And FYI some of the east side noise travels across the lake if you are at 113-118. Overall a totally different experience from Horseneck Beach, Scusset or Salisbury if you've been to those, but we really enjoyed it.
