We stayed here for 3 nights and wanted to stay more. However, they were totally sold out for the weekend. This is, by far, one of my favorite campgrounds. Easy access in and out of the campground, and we used it as a base to check out the area. Took an afternoon trip to Plymouth and a day trip to Provincetown. Also found plenty to time to relax. Canal has a wide cement sidewalk for easy walking. Campground and surround area is flat for easy walking or biking. Beach walking was great, and we found plenty seashells. Great atmosphere with all the boating, fog horns, and boat horns. Loved the smell of the early morning ocean air. Restrooms were clean and showers were good size with plenty of hot water. Sites were good size with good distance between them. Verizon air card worked OK for internet. We definitely plan to come back and hope to spend much more time here! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great state park. We usually do not use state parks, however this one was recommended and we did find it to be very nice. Although we did not use the bathhouse, we did check them out and they were very clean. Some sites are wide open with very little privacy. Others have trees, bushes that affords some privacy. The site we had, #66, was private and I felt one of the best sites in the park. Our 38ft MH fit nicely on the pad but we did have to park the toad sideways, so this site might not work for larger RVs. The campground is on the beach and also has the canal that boats go through. Apparently great fishing (we do not fish) since we watch many rvers catching large fish. Close to most things on the Cape. Only negative was staff didn't seem to be very knowledgeable about the area. We asked questions and basically given the usual brochures but no info. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A great state park. We camped there to explore Cape Cod. Had paved roads and parking spaces which is unusual in New England. Overall appearance was great. Obviously many people consider this a good camping site as, even after Labor Day, it is not easy to find spaces to reserve. Even though there no sewer hookups, we would strongly recommend this campground to others. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent location for beach & Canal. Would highly recommend for biking, roller blading, walking, fishing, boating! The BEST! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great family campground. Located right on the Cape Cod Canal. Sites are easily accessible. Plenty of sight seeing lot of local (0-1hr) attractions will keep you busy for a long stretch. Fishing in the canal is some of the best on the east coast. This campground is a very well run state campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We Love this park because it is a quick get away for us. Bike, fish, rollerblade, and go to Beach. You can't beat the price or location. Reserve ahead of time because it books up quickly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park for a state park. Easy beach access and driving to all Cape Cod attractions is easy, plus a nice drive to Boston as well. Staff is not friendly nor helpful, but the other campers were extremely friendly. Would definitely go there again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We love this campground. It is on the Cape Cod Canal and a beautiful (in the summer time) beach. Most of the wide open sites are in the front two streets closest to the beach and the separate safari area. We were in a site on the third road , number 61, which is a very nice site. It is well separated with trees and shrubs, twenty-five feet to the water tap and 15 feet to the 30 Amp electrical service. We utilized Reserve America to make our reservation, they charge $9.50 for the service. The site's cost is $20 for the night with water and 30 amp electric. We travel with two teenage sons, who went fishing, walked the beach and in general had a great time. It rained very very hard on Saturday night and we walked thru much of the campground and only a couple of low sites had standing water. Ours, and all the sites near us, were high and dry. The entry road is a bit rough but after some thought, we decided that we liked it because it slows traffic down. The road was not rough enough to do any damage. The dump station is only open in the morning but there was no line and plenty of room , no tight turns involved. All in all a great campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Not a bad park, we were very glad for the level, paved sites after the area had gotten quite a bit of rain for the last eight days. Park road leading to the campground is very rough. The Cape Cod Canal visitor center was really informative with interesting displays. There were good places to view the canal boat traffic. We had site #63. It was just big enough for our 30 ft class A and toad and it was open to the wind and sun but had some plants to shield some of the other sites from view. Bathhouses were fair, showers not spotless and no shower curtain to keep your stuff out of the water spray but decent water pressure and warm enough. We did have to use to hoses to get to the water hook-up but had no problem reaching the electric. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our 4th trip to Scussett this time we noticed a terrible odor from the water. Almost like a bad rubber hose was used throughout the park. Scussett is a wonderful state park. Good, wide, spacious spacious sites with a measure of privacy rarely found. They claim a 40 ft. limit but we were easily accomodated in our 43 foot motorhome. Electric can be spotty so on the hot days you might be, well, hot. All in all a great stay with family. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have to agree with the above review. This is the place to go if you love *LOTS* of sunshine, most of the sites are exposed from dusk to dawn. Just a short walk to the beach, and your right on the Cape Cod Canal too. Bring lengthy water hose and electric cable, because on some sites it could be up to 50' for the water spout, electric is not that far, but I would bring an extra 25'extension cord just in case. Also the safari field is not an overflow area it is used for rally's/group gatherings and you *must* have reservations for that too. If you plan to go to Scusset Beach, book online as *early* as possible because they fill up fast. All sites are now reservable with www.reserveamerica.com. Also note, it can be *very* windy there at times! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Scusset Beach is a favorite of my family. While somewhat primitive the sites are very large and private. The bath houses are older but not as bad as they could be . The staff is virtually non-existent but is that bad? Nice beach and great access to Cape Cod Canal. Plenty of walking, biking and boat watching (my favorite). No sewer and only 30 amp electric but the dump station is open daily and the weather not terrible even in August. There is also a Safari area, no reservations, and 100% boondocking. Seems to be used for overflow and special groups. We are returning this year (05) with our Motorhome (43') We camped here in a Truck Camper.
