Campground Review

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, 13 miles of hiking trails, and 35 miles of equestrian trails. They even have one loop in the Charge Pond area that is only for those camping with horses. 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. The Charge Pond area is still one of our favorite areas, and it is a great place for a family.
