A great place to go. Very friendly and helpful staff from the moment you arrive, until you leave. There is a lot of things to do for the entire family. New playground. There is also plenty to see in the area. We definitely plan to return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
As always...excellent stay. Staff are plentiful and helpful. Campground is clean, well kept. Modern updates to playgrounds. Bath houses and showers are the cleanest i've ever seen...anywhere. They were cleaned many times a day. Indoor pool is an added positive during winter season. No issues or problems. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Really just a great full-service campground. We camped here the first weekend in November during the remnants of Hurricane Noel, and we still enjoyed ourselves. Sites do vary, with some older ones not being very wide for slideouts, but newer sites are huge. Bathrooms are some of the best I've ever seen, spotlessly clean and well laid out. Only gripes (and they're fairly small) is a city garbage truck came by at 7:30am on Saturday -very loud and disruptive and the pancake breakfast served very undercooked sausages. Overall highly recommended, especially the adult reading/tv loft and the lovely indoor pool and jacuzzi's. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The park is very nice with a lot of amenities. It is, however, a little crowded. It is about an hour and 20 minutes out of Boston and about the same to the entry of Cape Cod. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very nice campground but expensive. There is a $10 charge for guests, the laundry is $3.00 each. The grounds are very well maintained. The staff are exceptional. I really can't find anything negative about this place. We would probably not stay here again because of the rates, however, there isn't much else in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lovely well kept campground. Not inexpensive but there is wireless all over. Indoor Pool, jacuzzi, sauna, exercise equipment and a nice lady to give concierge advice on touring in the area. We traveled to Boston, Newport RI, Cape Cod, and other areas. Our family enjoyed this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wonderful park! Lots of activities and clean sites. This is a great place for families. I would highly recommend this campground if you are in this area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have always heard this was the best campground in the Northeast, and finally had chance to try it out this July. The park is huge, and well maintained. We were in the Safari area, and I felt that the $72/night price tag was a bit steep for W/E in a field. The pools were nice, but were a good walk from our site. Activities were plentiful and there is a nice trail to hike. The bath house near us lacked showers, but we used the one in our trailer. We would visit again, as long as it's not in the Safari area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
One of the best campgrounds in the country. Lots of great activities for kids, beautiful indoor pool and courteous staff. Our only wish is that they had more 50 amp sites. It seems that this popular RV desination is always booked up way in advance, and we need to settle for a 30 amp site without cable tv. We will return again when we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in this lovely campground in a 45' Motorhome with plenty of space and elbow room. Cable did not work, but Wi-Fi was free and outstanding. A great family park; albeit we prefer campgrounds with less kids, we did not mind at all. This is truly a GREAT campground with tons of activities and amenities. Our motorhome has bathrooms and a washer and dryer, but I visited both and they were top notch. I would highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground should be a model for all others. Upon arrival at 9pm we were escorted to our site and assisted in backing it in. There was excellent security and someone even walked around at quiet hour to make sure everyone was keeping the volume reasonable. The playground was huge and fenced in which made it easier to keep track of the kids. The indoor pool was clean, the perfect temperature and properly chlorinated with beautiful decor. They had candy bar bingo and had mardi gras beads for everyone at the end. They had movies in the evening, scavenger hunts and many other activities. The sites were very level and roomy. You could hardly tell which sites were seasonals because they were all tastefully maintained. I asked a campground employee about the seasonals and they explained that they require all seasonals to move sites throughout the season. The laundry and bathrooms were clean, clean, clean! Everything was well run and beautifully maintained. Checkout was 2pm, which gave us an opportunity to eat lunch before taking off. This is a great campground and we can't wait to revisit. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here for the kids school vacation. This trip began on Friday the 13th and the ole myth rang true. A real Nor-easter moved through the area bringing with it 4 days of pounding rain. The indoor pool and hugh rec hall were a plus for the kids. We played games in the rec hall and were able to get out of the camper for a bit. The weather had nothing to do with the campground. The only thing I wished had happened is the campground would have offered a safe place/shelter. The wind blew at 60 mph gusts rocking the campers. Limbs down. Not a safe or comfortable sleep. I think the C/G should have offered the rec hall as a shelter to those with children. Sleeping bags on the floor and a movie would of put a lot at ease. I will email this to the C/G. Other than that...excellent stay. We'll to back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent resort style campground, although the sites are a bit close. Everything is always clean and in good shape. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We started out with Halloween weekend, and ended up staying for the winter. Our site is large, and close to the immaculately kept bathrooms. All the staff are friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that staying here has spoiled us, and everywhere else we try is a downgrade for us.. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Was probably the best looking and maintained park i have ever stayed at. Staff was absolutely great to deal with and were very helpful with advice when asked. Cannot say enough. Traveled around the area using this for a base. Just fantastic campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If you have never been to a camping resort, this one comes with a warning. Do not go to NFCG as you will be spoiled and disappointed when you visit other resort campgrounds. This is one of the nicest (if not the nicest) campground in New England. Actually as I type this, I'm wondering why I'm doing so. It will just encourage more of you to visit and this is already a tough place to get into. I'm one of those folks that stand outside every year in the cold on March 15 to get reservations/sites that I want for the following year. That's right, I stand in line in the cold dark, pre-dawn New England winter on March 15, 2007 to make reservations for the 2008 camping season. If this park had a large pond for boating and fishing or was on the ocean it would be utopia. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed for 2 nights in september, showers & bathrooms spotless, cg impeccable! were disappointed to find no grass on our site(12) just fine crushed rock which ended up everywhere! found indoor pool to small & too shallow - we could not use outdoor pools due to them being closed" it might rain & not enough interest by guests" were told by management. also unruly teens used our site as a cut-through to get to playground after dark. otherwise a very good campground we will go again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
One of the best CG we've ever stayed. They have some nice features the other CG don't have: very nice high water pressure in the shower room and water supply to RV, 2PM check out, automatic gated CG, great speed Free Wi-Fi. There were some problem on the Wi-Fi on the first day we stay there, they fixed the problem next day, everything else were great. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My comments start with saying this is a beautiful campground. I would give it a 10 if all the camp roads were paved and there were a little less pool rules. I don't think a foam ball in the pool has drowned anyone yet but its banned. Tough for teens to have any fun in all the pools. We also felt that there were different rules for those that camp there a lot and people like my family that camps there every couple years. Small things because its a great place to camp. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Awesome campground for everyone. Well worth the extra money. Extremely well kept grounds. Some sites may be a bit on the small size, but very comfortable. Staff very helpful and friendly. Many amenities and activities for all ages any day of the week (not just weekends like many places). Can't wait to go back and stay longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wow! This was the Hilton of campgrounds! We were on a 12 day trip from Michigan to the East Coast & back and this was by far the nicest place we stayed. They have 4 pools (one was indoor). A huge rec room with a kids area and adult area. Many planned activities for the kids. Baseball games, soccer games, disk golf, fishing, and a playground. (Just to name some!) They have a concierge to help you with your travel plans. They have two computers with internet access that are free to use. We were escorted to our site by a ranger who immediately stated the rules about quiet time and how they were enforced. When that time arrived - it was quiet - hard to believe with 400 sites! They have a staff of 125 employees and the campground shows it. Bathrooms are modern with all the latest in automatic fixtures. There were so many men & boys cutting the grass that I lost count. Someone was re-staining a fence that was starting to show just a tiny bit of wear. They are on top of things!!! The office area had about 10 people working in it with about 5 people just taking reservations and checking in campers. We heard they received the Campground of the Year award in 2005 and we can see why!!! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Camping at this resort is nothing less than SUPER! Staff are helpful and friendly --- we arrived late one weekend and the ranger not only escorted us to the site in the pouring rain & darkness, he proceeded to help DH back up & level up! That is service! Of all the times we love Mother's & Father's Day weekends best. Always loads to do, the game room is fun, the computer/business office is nice, the store has saved us many a times, loved watching disk golf, sites can be small but when you reserve, they need all your info --- slides, length, etc. The book up fast...they are now taking 2008 (yes, 8) reservations and will sell out holiday weekends then. There is a good reason why they need to be sure you sign the waiver at the pool, trust me. The weight room, WiFi and campers kitchen just add to nearly perfect weekends. Quiet hour, really is quiet hour. This place is a perfect destination, don't use it to spend day triping from, you won't get your $$ worth. Lastly, don't miss the Wrentham Outlets on your out of town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Best maintained cg we have found in the area, with new facilities in almost all sections of the grounds. Most pull-through sites are roomy enough, well-shaded, although somewhat open. Some other previews note that Boston is two hours away in traffic, but Normandy Farms is the closest campground to the city, and any other cg would be a longer drive. The sites are a bit pricey, but real estate in the area is outrageously priced (and correspondingly taxed), and the campground maintains a large active staff, mostly the same family, by the way. We live only a few miles away, and use the Farms quite often for one or two-day getaways. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our first camping trip in our travel trailer. We went up for the weekend. This campground offers a lot of extras. There are several outdoor pools and one indoor pool. They had a family dance and dinner. There is an adult area where you can sit by the gas fireplace and read or watch TV. It was off-season when we visited this campground. The sites are clean however, not as large as I would like and not very private. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Our favorite park anywhere, period! Very clean sites with a great hot tub and 18 hole disc golf course. Lots of families around. Great value if staying mid week. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If your looking for a place to park your RV and yourself for a week, then this is the place. If your the type that uses the campground as a homebase, then keep looking. Despite the hype you will read, Nomandy Farms is an hour and a half to ANYWHERES you might want to see. Two hours to Boston with the traffic, two hours to the beach, 1 1/2 hours to Salem or Plymouth. 40 minutes to a decent restaurant and the list goes on. And for $60.00 a night, I would expect cable TV hookup (Do not provide) and site pickup for your garbabe (Required that each camper haul their own garbage to a dumpster, which are few and far between). After a few hours wandering around, it became quite apparent why they must charge $60.00 per night; they have twice as much help as they need. They have a guy at the guard shack that does nothing but tell newly registered campers to pull up to the stop sign and wait for another employee who arrives on a cart to escourt you to your site. That conversation could of been had in the registration building. And this guy cannot even be bothered to open the gate for you as you arrive or depart the facility. You must lean out of your rig to wave a magetic tag at a sensore to get the gate to open. Really stupid considering the guy is stading right there. Jeesh. They also have an employee at the pool to make sure you sign a waiver, of which you already signed when you registered. They have two guys that ride the same cart every morning looking at empty sites and checking off on their maps. Like another poster said, the site sizes are from tiny to huge. We had a good sized site, but others were cramped in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very well run campground with superior facilities. With this in mind, it was the most expensive campground and the smallest site I have stayed in from Maine to the Florida Keys. We had the choice between extending our slide or deploying the awning, but not both. When I made a reservation over one month in advance there were only three sites available. Most of the other sites are nicely sized. My complaint is not directed toward the facilities or employees working there, but directed at the pricing policy. A site that small should not be priced the same as one three times larger. If you stay there, be sure to ask about the size of the site. It was my experience that they won't tell you if you don't ask. I probably would have gone to another campground if I had known. I would definitely stay there again if I were guaranteed a normal site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was the first RV park we stayed at. Spent the winter months from December '04 to April '05. We'd visited the website and researched the park heavily before we signed up for the winter full-time camping and we were not disappointed with what we found on arrival. We paid $605/mo which worked out to be $21/night for a full hook-up site with 30A for long-term winter camping, which I hear they no longer offer. Electricity was billed on a monthly basis. They had us come down to meet with the campground owner who went over some winter camping basics and survival tips with us. Very informative meeting and gave us some very good tips and need-do items. Plowing was prompt and cost $10. 00 per storm. They installed a 300lb propane tank and made all the connections to our rig for us (for a fee). The rec hall & pool were open year round. It was very nice to sit in a hot tub when the weather outside was -10F. Very friendly staff and store stocked with enough basics to work in a pinch. Not as well stocked as it is for their high season. Friendly helpful staff that was always there when we needed them. WiFi in the park was good, about the best speed of any of the parks with WiFi we've been to yet. On the flipside the sites are a bit narrow. Most of the pull-through sites have little or no shade. I would have preferred a bit more space and privacy between us and our neighbors to either side. Very high cost during the high season!!! One of the most expensive parks I've seen, Disney's Fort Wilderness not withstanding. Cost is only objection, if cost was less would not hesitate to stay again if in area. Highly recommended based on facilities, helpfulness & friendliness of staff, and on facilities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Camped here in July of 04, and again in Sept of 04. We found the campground to be in great shape, the facilties were super and the people very nice. The security of the grounds were the best we have seen, you use a card to enter the grounds. The only improvements needed would be more fifty Amp sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were there over Easter weekend and there were a lot of families here. They had Easter
events for the kids. They have an adult lounge, 3 outdoor pools and an indoor pool with a sauna, 2 spas and a fitness room. The staff is very friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We are tenters family of 4, normandy farms is on the expensive side especially when you
are in a tent. The campground was on of the cleanest we have ever been to, and the people who worked there were very friendly. They have a total of 4 pools
that includes an indoor pool with jacuzzi, also one of their outside pools are heated with an outside jacuzzi. I don't mind paying the extra $$$ because I
feel they put back the $$$ into Normandy Farms. This was a real treat and can't wait to go back. We camped here in a Tent.

This campground is very over-rated! Yes, it is clean and has a beautiful new rec hall and indoor pool area (which opens late and closes early) but you pay dearly for it! There is little to no privacy since they cut down all the trees and shrubs and they nickle & dime ya to death with extra fees. Not worth paying more than at Disneyworld!

Great operation by northern standards. Superlative facilities! However, many sites are cramped and dust is thick everywhere. The 10 rating would apply only to the front sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have been many times and always had an excellent time. Clean restrooms! Super friendly staff, they really go out of there way for you. Tons of activities for the whole family. 3 outdoor pools and 1 inside Pool (shallow 3-4ft great for kids) 3 hot tubs and a sauna. The activity lodge is beautiful. This is a camping resort for a wonderful family vaction! More money than most campgrounds nearby, but certainly worth every
penny! We camped here in a camper.

A family resort with tons of activities, 3 pools. 30 Miles to Boston, close to Cape Cod. Room for big rigs. Expensive in Summer Season. Rules are enforced, don't worry about loud parties next door. Off-season rates go way down. Wooded, shade. We camped here in a camper.
