My boyfriend and I reserved a tent site down in the back of the campground for a weekend. There are…read moreonly 6 tent sites, the remainder of the campground is for RVs. They definitely cater to RVs here, we were not treated well from the second we arrived. The person checking us in, I'm assuming is part owner, yelled at us for going through the gate too quickly. When I arrived at the gate, there was a sign that said to call a number so that they could let you in so I did and on the call I told her that there was someone behind me and that there were two cars, but you could tell that she was obviously distracted because she said OK come through and so I waved my boyfriend through, and then the gate crashed down on his car. He was able to get out of it very quickly, and there was no damage to the gate. But when we walked in, immediately the reception was poor because she was mad that we had two cars go through the gate instead of one. I said "you should have a sign." She says "there is one." After the fact we took a look at this "sign." There is a very small microscopic sign on 8x10 paper with a ton of really small writing and not very clear at all that it should be one car at a time. I would recommend that they have one specific sign that very clearly states "one car at a time" in extremely large font with nothing else on it, because clearly it was not obvious to us, or others for that matter. She went on to tell us that it's happened several times and that's how they broke their last gate, etc. etc. Well, I would think that maybe you would learn your lesson? make it more obvious that it's one car at a time? Pay attention when the person on the other line says there are two cars and maybe specify that one car should go through at a time? We had never been to this campground before, so we were very displeased from the start just based on that reception. Saturday went pretty well initially, we were the only ones down by the water aside from one other couple who was extremely nice and quiet. However, halfway through the day, as we were trying to enjoy peace and quiet, we heard the noises of construction for the remainder of the day as they were taking down the docks at the end of the boat launch, down a dirt road that goes right through the tent campsites. This was not told to us in advance, we had no idea this was going to happen. And when we stayed here, it was the first weekend of October. There was no sign, no warning that said that they were going to be doing this. all we heard all day was construction noise. And even better, they used the tent campsite right next to ours to load all of the pieces so we literally heard construction noises for the entire time we were camping. We thought maybe we could get away with a nice morning breakfast without construction noise on Sunday, but we were incorrect as they continued to do this Sunday morning as well. Why wouldn't they wait until people check out at the end of the weekend when people check out to do something like this? It's not even like it was the last weekend of the season or anything. We were extremely disappointed given how much money we spent on the site. The only positive is that they have water at every site and the pond is absolutely beautiful. There is a bald eagle nest and we saw the bald eagle when we were there. you can launch your kayaks or canoes from the campground, and there are nice trails around the pond as well. the only positives of the entire experience. We will never stay here again.

It's a very quiet and safe campground, with campers coming back season after season, many for multiple generations establishing what is known as our tight knit "camp family." All 30 RV sites are at least 40' x 40' and have a fireplace, picnic table, water, sewer, and electric. Our three tent sites have water and 30amp electric; there is a portapotty at the tent site, and a bathhouse with hot showers and flush toilets in very close proximity. Dump station found here as well. We also rent RVs/campers which include almost everything you need for your relaxing vacation! Activities are planned most summer weekends, and are suitable for kids and adults! Kids also have a playground area with jungle gym and horseshoes for all ages (care to join in on the tournament?). There's also a garage/rec hall with games, a fridge, oven and tables for potlucks or rainy days, and it's also where we have fun parties with dancing to our camp band's live music!

We stayed at lot 806 and the views were amazing. I will say, we stayed out of season in Mid October so we had a lot of spots to choose from. Booking was super easy and the check in process very simple. Property was beautiful, bathrooms and shower very clean. The bathhouse was alittle cold in the morning but the windows were open, the door was as well and adding that it was 35 degrees through the night so can't judge them on that. Thank you again for an easy and wonderful stay. We will be back next fall.

I recently was back in town and decided to have a nostalgic stay at the campground. I called the office about a week and a half before I planned on visiting and they only had one site (#21) left. I told the manager Jack, that I'd take it! Initially only planning on visiting Tues thru Thurs, they require 4 nights minimum stay in the summer, with the reservation starting on a Sunday. So I reserved Sun thru Thurs, which was the only way to guarantee the site. My other option was to call that day I planned on arriving and hoping/praying the site was still available. It turned out better this way because I just started my vaca two days earlier. Only way to make a reservation is to call during office hours, 9am to 6pm. Both the check-in and check-out time is at 11am. The campground itself isn't that big, and I would guess there's no more than 10 sites available for weekly rentals, as it's mostly seasonal trailers/campers that occupy the remainder of the sites the whole season the campground is open. They open for the season around May 15th, and close for winter around Oct 15th. Site #21 is nestled between two permanent trailer sites, and sits low on the terrain. This means it will flood a little when it rains, but seems to dry out pretty quickly once the rain stops. It is fairly shaded by the pine trees, so it's was nice & cool during our stay. There is one main bathhouse with a men's bathroom (showers inside), a women's bathroom, and a separate women's shower room. There are also two individual bathrooms located behind the office. The showers are $.25 for 5 minutes of shower time. It's just enough time for a quick shower, but bring a 2nd quarter if you think you need a bit more time. The water is hot, which is nice as I'm used to showering w/ warm to cool water at most campgrounds, and they've added curtains to create a changing area outside each shower (new addition from when I was a kid). If camping in a tent, bring an air mattress or padding to sleep on as the ground is hard, and rocky. Every site has your standard fire ring & picnic table. If you need water for cooking, head up to the bathhouse and use the stainless steel sink outside next to the ladies room. This is also a good place to wash your dishes. Pricing is $35 per site per day for 2 ppl and one vehicle. Additional adults are an extra $10/day, kids (ages 5-17) are an extra $5/day, and parking for extra vehicles is also an extra $5/day. Cash or check only. No pets allowed. Ice sold in the office is cheaper & the bag is bigger than the ones sold up the street at the Shore Road Market (red building at fork in road). The office also sells firewood, and some individual canned soda, bottled water, candy bars & ice cream bars. Be advised there are lots of skunks (which hasn't changed since my childhood). They won't bother you, but be aware at dusk/night where you're walking and make sure to toss your trash in the dumpster each day to help avoid an overnight visit. This campground is located right along the ocean and a river. The main beach area is pretty small at high tide, but becomes a nice big area at low tide. Just bring water shoes because the ground is rocky & covered in shells/crabs at low tide. The tide also changes quick so make sure to keep an eye on your belongings when it's coming in, to make sure they don't get swept out. There's also a smaller beach closer to the bridge, and is accessible via the road just next to the office. People still jump off the bridge at high tide, which they've been doing since I was a kid. If you head towards the ocean side of the campground, where the road loops, there's another pathway that leads to the rocks overlooking the ocean & Nubble Light lighthouse. Just watch your step cause the rocks can get slippery at low tide! Also, make sure to stay off other people's sites. If you don't, they'll be sure to let you know it's 'private property'. A great little campground to stay at, with beautiful ocean views! Would def recommend!
