This state park is one of the few true oceanfront campgrounds in Massachusetts, but it is not for everyone. There are no hookups, only widely spaced water spigots. There is no shade. It can be very windy off the ocean. The campground itself is not very pretty because it is open scrub with a few sand dunes. The bathrooms are grungy, but we don't use them. Some campers can be a little rough. The staff is not particularly helpful and does not regularly enforce the rules they have. You may have to put up with your neighbor's generator noise -- there are no generator hours except for quiet hours. Oceanfront sites go fast, and reservations (through Reserve America) are necessary mid-June through mid-September. However, all sites are no more than a 5 minute walk from the ocean and beach. But its still our favorite campground in New England because of the beach and the ocean. The views are expansive, the beach is 3 miles long, with large dunes on parts of it. There is usually a good surf running with large waves. The beach is great for walking at low tide; too rocky at high tide. Swimming is often good in the coldish water, but beware large waves and undertow on rough days. There is a causeway out to an island with beach roses blooming in June and early July. There is quite a bit of bird activity in May and June, including nesting Piping Plovers, a protected species. Sites are paved/gravel pads off a paved road -- no sinking in the sand here! Sites are end-to-end, not side-by-side, creating more privacy. But there are no trees or shrubbery between sites. The town of Westport features old houses, stone walls and fields. There are several good restaurants (not fancy) including the Bayside with a view of the ocean and fields. We love it! We've visited several times a year for the past 5 years. We currently have a 33' motorhome which fits well on all the sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
