We had a great time here! Large sites (we even had a nice golf course view with the bay in the distance). Try to avoid sites near the entrance as you'll hear highway noise. It's much quieter further inside. There are a lot of seasonals but they're very well kept and their owners very friendly. The roads are paved. There are 3 large very nice pools and a game room. The snack bar was closed when we were there during the week (after Labor Day). The playground is large and my kids loved it. It's a great place to be on the Cape and within 30-40 minutes from Hyannis. The bathrooms are very clean and there's a supermarket very close by. The staff is friendly and helpful and keep the entire campground very clean. We had trouble with our cable hook up and they sent someone right away to help. I highly recommend the campground. I know they offer a lot of activities during the summer, and bands on the weekend so we'll be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice, very clean. 3 pools, game room and great playground. Many seasonals which are all well-kept. Friendly, helpful staff. I was able to use the WI-FI from my camper which was nice. A great base for day trips to Cape Cod. Supermarket nearby, which is nice too. There is some highway noise, so try to avoid those sites closest to the street. I'll definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground was clean and well kept. The sites were level and easy to enter. There are many seasonal sites that are very well kept with lovely flowers and landscaping. We met a wonderful couple who were seasonal who camped across the street from us by the upper pools. They had been there over 28 years and were so helpful and friendly to my family. One suggestion is to request a site away from the upper pool area if you have young children or like to go to bed before 10:00 pm. On the weekends they have a band or DJ that plays by the pool and it is extremely loud! We could hear the music from our campsite and it was hard for our daughter to fall asleep with the music blaring. The views were nice from our site, we were overlooking a golf course and could see some water (ocean) in the distance. The site was clean and level and had a stone fireplace and picnic table. One negative aspect was the staff at the upper pool. She was a bit rude and condescending to the guests and had a very negative tone and attitude. The rest of the staff was great, but she was not an asset to this campground. Overall, we would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There is no roughing it with this campground. My daughter had a blast with the activities and three pools. We had a very nice site with some privacy. The bathrooms were clean, staff friendly, store prices reasonable. The campground is within 2 miles of the Cape Cod Canal and a short drive from some great little towns. We will be going back. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This was a very nice campground. It is large with over 400 sites but most of them are seasonal. There were probably 50-60 sites for transient campers. If you have a young family there really is no need to leave the CG. They have 3 pools with a very nice playground area and tennis and basketball courts. Nicely stocked store. The bathrooms were dated but were always kept clean. This was one of the only campgrounds on Cape Cod that allowed campfires and also had a pool. This was one of the reasons we chose the CG but I would consider this a top notch CG anywhere in the country. You are at the bottom end of Cape Cod. Driving time to two of the attraction areas on the Cape…… Provincetown - 1 ½ hours and Hyannis - 30 minutes. I highly recommend this CG! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Best park we’ve stayed at so far!!! We have a 36’ 5th Wheel and requested an easy site to back into or a pull thru. Got a site near all the facilities with a fabulous view and breeze. Showers and bathrooms were very clean, even though the park was filled to capacity during the 4th of July holiday week. Kids were kept busy with the planned activities, playgrounds, 3 pools, baseball, basketball and tennis facilities. Rented DVDs from the office one rainy night. Great place to camp with children. Two of the pools have just been renovated. There is a place to get food called “TOP DOG” that has a great fish sandwich, couldn't’t stay away! Had a campfire almost every night. We stayed at site 172 (with W/S/E/and Cable) which was close to the main facility building that had the rec hall, ice cream parlor, bathrooms and laundry. The playground and activity pavilion was across from this building. Never saw litter on the ground, not once!!! The staff drives around constantly in carts and cleans up before the litter has a chance to land! They allow pets on leash and strictly enforce the pet rules. Quiet time is 11pm - 7am and kids curfew is 10pm. Only one night did we have a noisy neighbor and we called the “contact” # for assistance. Park Patrol came right up and quieted them down. No problems after that. Would definitely return to this place! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The very high ratings this campground received from Trailer Life and Woodalls must be for those who like lots of seasonal campers, and planned activities. We stayed 3 weeks, early in the season. Our stay was pleasant, but, as always with campgrounds where the transient campers are situated amidst the seasonal ones, there is a feeling that one is intruding. Visitors are charged for entry - whether they are staying 5 minutes or the day. This was a real nuisance to us, since we were there to visit family and friends, and would like to have welcomed them to our 'home', but the cost would have been prohibitive if we paid for them all to come. Since they all live on the Cape, they had no need to use the facilities, which is what I'm assuming the visitor fee is for. The sites are heavily treed, which makes internet and TV satellite access difficult, even with portable set-ups. Since the cable channels provided by the park are limited, this was a real negative for us. Use of this park was purely for location near family - we would not otherwise use or recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
BAD CAMPGROUND. Almost ruined our stay on Cape Cod. Arrived at about 11:30 but were not allowed in until 2:00 unless we paid for an extra day. Had to drive around with our 38' 5th wheel attached until they would let us in as I was not going to pay $16 for 2 hours. They had taken 2 day deposit on the credit card with no refunds so we were forced to stay or I would have gone elsewhere. When we got to our site we found all the transient sites were empty - there was no reason not to let us in except that they had our money and did not care if we stayed or not. Site was dirt (not gravel) - cable TV had only 18 channels. Very small laundry charged 25 cents for 5 minutes on dryers. Campground has over 400 sites but only 20 for transients - all the rest are seasonals. On the weekend the 20 sites filled up with locals. We had the only out of state tags in the whole park and felt out of place and unwelcome. The campers in the site next to us were outside until midnight drinking and yelling. I tried to call management but there was no one manning the phones so I could't lodge a complaint until the next morning as we were leaving. Not sure why this place is called Bay View as there is neither a bay or a view. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice campground. Security is great and staff is very helful. One of the few campgrounds in the area that accepts pets. A little pricey but you're on Cape Cod. Sites are well maintained. Didn't use many of the facilities as we traveled extensively while in there. Would return and recommend it for a vacation. Very good campground for the young and old alike. A lot of seasonals but wasn't a problem. Stayed in site 30 and site 53. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice, well kept, & clean family campsite. Lots for kids to do, 3 pools, daily activites, playground, arcade, video rentals (for a fee) bike paths & tennis & basketball courts. There is a small store on site, to buy anything you might have forgotten, that also serves ice cream. There is also a food stand by one of the pools for snacks or lunch. Bathrooms were modern & clean. Showers were also very clean but in both the men's and ladies room's there was at least one shower that was not working and was not marked out of order. Staff patrols the park throughout the day & evening. Teen curfew, dog (barking, leash & pick up) rules and quiet hours are strictly enforced. You can hear a pin drop between the hours of 11pm & 8am. The sites range in size and the amount of trees/privacy but even the biggest rigs had a decent amount of outdoor living room, for chairs and/or screen rooms. Seasonal sites were well maintained. We look forward to our next stay! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great place to go with kids. Three pools, big well equipped playground, huge gameroom. Very strict with the rules. Big sites, people (especially workkampers) very nice. At the head of the cape so traffic can be a problem getting in or out on the weekends. We camped here in a camper.

WOW! Very impressed. Spent 8 days here. Very, Very Friendly Staff. So well maintained and clean you could eat off the ground. Large level sites. Activities geared for families. Lots too see and do on the grounds. Add an additional $3.00 per night/per child to the base rate. One small complaint...insuffcient laundry, facilities for size of campground (4 washers, 2 dryers) We camped here in a camper.
Nice view of the canal. Great if you want to bike along the canal. The hookups aren't always located conveniently. Make sure you have an extra hose and power extension cord. The site was spacing was good. The rest rooms are clean. However the rest rooms near our site had all stainless steel sink and toilet, not very user friendly. Each site has grey water only sewer connections which may only be dumped using a garden hose. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
What can you say about this campground except location, location, location. If you enjoy sitting, walking, fishing, on the side of the Cape Cod Canal, then this is the place for you. If you are looking for a campground with a "resort" feeling, then this is not. There is no pool, and no you can not swim in the canal. Some sights are tight, and you can not request a site upon reservation. We did have a great site and will be going back again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a nice campground with spacious sites. We enjoyed direct access to the canal bike path. We had a good experience camping here. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The big draw to this park is the adjacent Cape Cod Canal. Most of the sites are seasonals. Each site had a gray water dry well, but you could only use it with a garden hose--no 3" hoses. Central dump station. Two many trees for satellite reception in almost all sites. It was a tight squeeze for big rigs, but folks managed to get their large trailers and fifth wheels in. The park was almost empty when we were there, and they are closing for the season next weekend (October 29). We camped here in a Motorhome.
A few canal view sites are available on a limited, first come, first reserve, basis. We were
lucky enough to get one with a great view. The deep water canal has some large ships going through night and day. The management tries to offers various entertainment on friday and saturday evenings, during the on-season. A/C voltage is very low most times. IE: 105v. The salt water pool is a joke, it's more a weedy mudhole than a pool. More than 60% of sites are squatted on by poorly mannered seasonal trailer campers, who seem to loathe transients. But this campground is the only one that offers a decent view of the cape cod canal and is located in an area with lots to do. A great time can be had by ignoring the bad locals and enjoying the view and area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a large park but at least half the sites are occupied by seasonal/permanent residents. Roads are paved, some wide, some narrow. Sites are dirt and some are level, others are not. There are lots of trees making it hard for a large rig to get up and down the roads and into a site. This is a family campground, lots of kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.
90% were Seasonal RV/5th Wheels and they all had the choice sites with views of the canal. There were no view sites for anyone else because if you are parked behind them you couldn't see the canal because they blocked the view. They should allocate choice sites for RVers traveling through but they don't. Lots of trees with falling acorns. Trying to park our RV was really kinda of hard with all the trees. Fall rates are very reasonable if you stay 2 weeks it costs $140. This is after the date of Sept. 13th. During the week the park is empty and then on the weekend in come all the families. It is ok for the price. Bourne Canal has a path 7.1 miles long for bike riders, rollerbladers, walkers and fishing. 1/2 hour from Woods Hole and Hyannis. So if you don't mind parking in the back rows its OK. We camped here in a camper.
