Overall, very nice park. Ponds are clean for the most part. Price is reasonable and noise is kept to a minimum. Only downfall is how difficult it is to reserve for one night. The state website only lets you reserve two nights so sometimes it is impossible just to camp for one night. We camped here in a Tent.
I just spent a weekend here and am sorry to say I can't recommend it. The campsites were wooded and private, the bike trails were paved and wound through the woods. There were a few ponds to chose from for swimming. It should be the best place for families to camp. However the rest rooms were disgusting and I didn't feel safe letting the kids out of my site. I think that until this campground can better enforce its own rules campers need to beware. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This campground is close to Plymouth and near the Cape. It is big with many loops all over the park in a beautiful natural setting. Some campsites are on one of the sixteen ponds, yet other sites are near the ponds but in a forest with pitch pine and scrub pine. The Charge Pond area has the biggest sites with not much shade, where you can walk down to a pond for swimming. Some of the other loops have sites right on the water with a lot more shade. The showers and restrooms were clean. This state forest has 15 miles of paved bike trails which are close to all the campground loops and 13 miles of hiking and 35 miles of equestrian trails. They even have one loop in the Charge Pond area that is only for those camping with horses. See the website for more information. This is a nice campground but there are times on holiday weekends where the groups camping together in the Charge Pond area can get rowdy (July 4). It is still better than it was 15 years ago. Yet, the Charge Pond area is still one of our favorite areas and is a great place for a family. We camped here in a Motorhome.
