We camped for two night here in the state park. Park is great, the sites are leveled and concrete. The bathroom showers are ok knowing that are beach facilities. They have a store in the campground that has almost all the basic needs you are looking for. We ate dinner at Castaways seafood and grill. Very nice haddock. Great views as well. The only thing that want great was the ocean temperature between 57-60 degrees cold .

It was amazing, I've been going here every year since I was born, as well as my sisters, my mom, my grandparents, my uncles, aunts, everyone, around 55 years probably, it has water on lost sites electric for tents and campers, bathrooms, beach is not far at all, its in a nice area by boardwalks and shops, beautiful.

Visited during the off season, it was a very chilly and foggy morning but everything was very clean and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Worth a visit if you ever want to sit and watch the sun come up, good beach to do so.

Stayed here in October 2021, can't recall if I already left a review or not? The campground itself was great, and SO close to the beach/water! Amazing. A really quiet, peaceful campground. The ONLY reason that I didn't give it 5/5 stars was because of the bathroom situation! One of the ladies bathhouses was closed for our entire stay, and we had to trek over the another one --- it wasn't too far, and that wouldn't have been a big deal, except that it was a busy weekend & lots of people were crowded in there, particularly on Sunday morning to shower! And for some reason they had one entrance/exit door locked, so we were all cramming in & out of one shared doorway! A little off-putting during the best of times, never mind during COVID! Anyway, another nice thing is that the location is good, close to lots of stores and restaurants. We had literally JUST picked up our new truck camper, so had lots of shopping & setup to do! It was incredibly convenient. And again, just so beautiful!

Not be a current Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) employee, or have guests who are DCR employees. Agree to a Massachusetts Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check and investigation.  This applies to anyone 17 or older also staying on the host campsite. Not use the campsite as a primary residence. Follow all DCR rules and regulations. Bring their own camping equipment. Be willing and physically able to work at least 20 hours per week, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
