Stayed 6 nights. Overpriced. Need to cut back on a lot of branches. Has speed bumps. There are 3 pull thrus. We were in D-4. Had to clean the dog poop in and around our site. Good points. Quiet, excellent water pressure and electric. No campfires allowed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Overall facility is nice and clean. Beaches are small but nice and well kept. Definitely a trend toward seasonal campers. A lot of seasonal campers currently. Easy to get to location. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
After carefully making a reservation that was "big rig friendly" the site we were placed at had tree branches at the 10 foot level, we are 12'6" . The manager was called ( after hours check in ) and quickly responded to our dilemma and we ended up with a site sans tree branches . We needed to police the new site due to the incredible amount of cigarette butts and spent plastic six shot speedloaders from a kids cap gun - not dog friendly items Please be aware while maneuvering thru the campground there are many branches that will drag the roof especially on Tavares Rd . Cars seem to move through the campground at a speed to far above the 10MPH limit. The campground seems to be turning into park model sites at an accelerated rate compared with the previous owners . The staff now sells park models at the campground . This is a very nice campground ( needing minor maintenance ) and it would be sad to see MotorHomes excluded . We camped here in a Motorhome.
Although we loved Cape Cod, we were less than thrilled with this campground. Firstly, we came back from touring on day 2 (of our 10 day stay) to find that someone had planted a line of bushes through our parking area in front of our trailer. They had then strung bright orange hazard tape around the bushes on wooden stakes. When we complained, the owner got very upset with my husband for questioning their 'business practices'. So our truck hung out over the street for the rest of our stay. The whole park is being converted to seasonal sites and this is what had been scheduled for the site we were on, hence the bushes for the new renters. At any rate, the staff was stand-offish, the store was tiny and unkempt and our site was teensy, even though we told them we had a 33' trailer and a 22' truck. There wasn't anything to do for our teen son, and the seasonal campers were fairly unfriendly. We will not go back there again, even if they did open back up to the camping public. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped here 9/9 to 9/12/2004 with our 2 dogs. Dogs are allowed anywhere in the campground during the off season April 16-July 1 and September 1-October 12. During the Summer months campers traveling in self contained units may stay in an area set aside for people traveling with their dogs. This is ideal since a lot of campgrounds don't allow dogs at all during the high season. "Most" of the sites are not huge - however, they are acceptable. There is a large section of prime sites near the lake that is taken up by seasonals. There are some sites on the lake that are available to everyone else. We tried to get one of the lake sites - but were told we would need to make reservations way in advance. Fortunately the lake and beach areas are just a short walk from anywhere in the campground. The bathroom and showers were VERY clean. The showers are private - each shower "room" has a bench and hooks to hang towels and clothes - and a locking door! Open fires are not permitted anywhere on the Cape and to compensate for this the campground rents out gas log fire pits @ $10 p/day. We rented one for 2 nights and were pleased with it. It wasn't a real campfire but it looked real and threw off quite a bit of heat -so- I guess it was the next best thing to a real wood fire. The campground staff were all very happy and friendly as were other campers. Everyone we walked by waved, said hello or stopped us to give the dogs a pat. The campground store was packed with food items and supplies. We forgot two things at home (tin foil and a baking sheet) but we easily located and purchased them in the store. The only downside we found was our assigned campsite was not clean upon our arrival. Bottle caps, tin foil, and other small trash items were scattered around the campsite. We had to clean everything up before we could let our dogs sit outsite the trailer. We didn't want them getting into anything. This campground does not have an on site dumping service. So, if your tanks fill up you'll have to break down camp and take the trailer to the dumping station by the office & store. Our gray water tank filled up on day 2 of our stay. I think we are going to purchase one of those blue portable dumping tanks so we can easily take care of our full tanks next time. All in all Peters Pond Park is a geat campround. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I have mixed feelings about this campground. On the one hand, it does have large sites, does
offer excellent recreational facilities for children, and is orderly and well-planned. But, on the other hand, most of the sites are dirt and, when it rains, problems result; the park has so many permanent campers in it that it looks like a trailer park; the modem connection is out of the dark ages (if you can find it; the entrance has very little room for hooking and unhooking; and other problems abound. But, I must say, it is probably one of the best RV parks offered on the Cape. If you have a tent and you have kids and you like to rough it, this is the place for you. If you have a big rig, unless you get lucky enough to get one of the unused seasonal sites, you probably won't like it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park itself is a 10...lovely, clean, and well-organized. Unfortunately, the staff are rude and disagreeable (rating a 1); and the rates will "nickel-and-dime" you to death. We were charged $6 to use the dump station, though the rinsing hose did not work. We were charged $10 for two friends to drop by and see our RV; they stayed less than an hour. No one ever said "can I help you" or "thank you for coming" or "sorry you had to wait." A nice woman who lives there seasonally told us that she stays there in spite of the staff, so it's not just our perception. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very family orientated. Paved roads, huge sites, lots of trees, lots of kids. Well stocked store, only problem was that they didn't have a 20 amp site available. So I had to pay ($286.00 for the month) extra for a 50 amp service even though I did't need it. Two beaches one has mostly adults other children. I think I found a home. Will return in 2003. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park. Large spacious campsites with surprisingly clean bathrooms with hot showers. very close to canal, Falmouth and the Islands. Lots of privacy and shade. Just two hours from Boston. Highly recommended We camped here in a Motorhome.
This state park is just over the Sagamore Bridge at the entrance to the Cape. It is a nice campground, with the 285 sites set in pine and scrub oak. It is only a bike ride away from the bike path along the Cape Cod Canal. Nice ride. At the canal you can watch the boats travel up and down the canal to get to Boston or points north or points south. Sandwich is a nice little town on the Cape that is not as crowded in the summer like the rest of the Cape. This is a good campground to stay at to visit most of the Cape especially if you plan to take the ferries in Falmouth. There are a lot of campsites at this park but our site was private and very quiet. They now take reservations here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoy this campground, even though there are no hook-ups (there is water available throughout the park, and there is a dump station). There is no pool or playground. Some sites are reservable. There are noisy areas that are close to the highway. It is close to good restaurants and the Cape Cod Canal, which is good to ride your bike on or do some fishing. When you stay at this park you can get into Scussett State Park for free which has a beach. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
