We stayed in a campground in Bourne called Bay View Campground. The campground had three pools, tennis and basketball courts, a decent playground, an ice cream parlor/campstore, and daily activities for the kids. You could also have a campfire at your site (not all Cape campgrounds allow this). The main con of this campground is that the sites...

Approx Dates of Stay: 8/6 - 8/8. Overall Campground Rating: fair-average. What stood out? Good - Campground is clean (bathrooms & grounds) and quiet hours are definitely observed. No issues with barking dogs, rowdy partiers, etc. The kid's playscape area is really nice and definitely is one of the best I've seen. Bad - number one issue is definitely the highway noise (not sure if it's 95 or 495, but it is constant). I also think the campsites are extremely close to each other. This is an...

Approx Dates of Stay: 9/3/04 . Overall Campground Rating: horrible. What stood out? The campground appeared very neat and clean. The sites are extremely close together. The campground appears to be nothing more than a parking lot with a few trees. When we made our reservations we were told we had a wooded site that was 30ft by 50ft. When we arrived our site was on the back side of the bathhouse. The hookups were on the bathhouse. Of course, they had no other sites available and would not refund our money. We understand no...

john g gave us this review on 08/13/05. Approx Dates of Stay: august 7 to 14.

Overall Campground Rating: not good.

What stood out? The campground does not have a 'quiet hour' when one expects quiet time. The traffic through the campground was 24 hours a day. The trash was picked up at 4am, that's not a good time to wake up when you're on vacation. The people that live there seem to go to work at 5am. Add the noise from I 95 - do not plan on sleeping much. I left two days early I could not take any more.

What stood out? Sites were SMALL. The bathrooms as my wife said, could gag a maggot. Most of the campground was seasonal. In fact some of the sites were so small that you could not open an awning. Many sites (mine included) you could/would not have a campfire for safety reasons. My awning hung over and the camper was only six to seven feet away from the fire pit.

Chris gave us this review on 09/03/07. Dates of Stay: 8/31/07- 9/3/07. Will You Return? No. What did you camp in? Travel Trailer - Size of Camping Unit: 32'

Overall Campground Rating: fair-average.

What stood out? If you like being dirty while camping, this is the place for you. I stayed in Cindy Circle and the sites were all dirt. My kids were covered within 1/2 hour. The campground as a whole is nice, but the tent sites seemed much better. The activities for the kids were good. The kids always had something to do....

Overall Campground Rating: excellent.

What stood out? One of the better state parks in massachusetts. Lake Dennison has nice sites, some on the lake. It is also right next to Otter river State campground. The town of Winchendon is nothing special, but has all the stores to buy food etc. Even though the town is so-so the campground has the feel of being in a very remote forest. Nice Beach...

Andy gave us this review on 08/12/02.

Approx Dates of Stay: Mid-August, 2002. Overall Campground Rating: horrible. What stood out? The place is a complete farce as a campground, never mind a resort...not even a last resort. The listing and website information was absolutely untrue and this is evident the second you arrive there [at which point we should have turned around and left like so many had after we arrived]. There are no blue campground signs to lead you to this place...a "sign" in itself. Any site...
