If you like the ocean you will love this place. Bring your camera. About an hour south of Boston, a great place to relax and walk. If you arrive at night you need to push the gate out of the way and find your spot. (Close the gate behind you). Its not as bad as it sounds. Each spot is well marked. Laundry available. Enjoy the area and enjoy the nearby restaurants.

P.M. left this reicew using the Directory software: Overall a very nice place to visit. $25 per night. We were there for six days (Sunday to Saturday). Narrow streets can make it difficult to navigate a big rig, especially on busy weekends - but we managed okay. Pam, the person in charge, was easy to work with. Very high water pressure - be sure to use a regulator to avoid possible damage to your rig. We never did rid of a water leak at the connection. 11 RV spaces - ours was site 4 with great views of the ocean. We needed a second sewer hose to make a sewer connection. Good electric voltage. As might be expected (being right on the ocean) the sites were pretty narrow and packed in. We never did our rig exactly leveled. We stopped for a beer at the store - ended up paying a dollar more and bought the whole six pack. There's a gate but one could never know if it would be open or closed after 5 PM - but it was certainly never locked. Several nice local places nearby (by car) to eat. A million kids around so be careful driving. We saw what looked like a nice playground there but we didn't visit it. We didn't use the laundromat but it looked just fine. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

Overall a great visit! Very hard to get a reservation here; visited the area two times before and could not get in. This time I was able to change my other plans by a few days when I called in and was told this week was available. Think I have a clue to some of the reservation problem as my neighbor while here informed me that he comes here all the time! Seems he is from this area, now lives in FL, but travels back here for the summer. Was here while I was, left but said he would be back in a week for another 2 weeks in the same site, and would be in and out for the whole summer. Guess it just depends on who you know in the office, which it seems it getting to be very prevalent in the FamCamp business. Anyway, we had Site 10 and had no problems at all; maybe since we only have a 37' RV it made a difference. Pull straight in and have a great view of the Atlantic! Would be nice if they put a WiFi repeater on the tower, then maybe the whole camping area could have a signal! As is is now, down to the office area for each time to use computer, bummer. Did note that the staff (summer hires?) did not have much info on anything it seemed, could not even find me a Channel List for the Cable TV provided, said "It's in your cabin". Hello, I'm in an RV site, where's the list? Maybe a little OJT for summer help would be in order?

Stayed until June 07, 2009. Had a great spot overlooking the ocean. Only problem was I requested a 50 amp site and was assigned a 30 amp site. Fortunately the temp was very cool and I could run my rig on 30 amps. I found the camp personnel less than informative. Needed some rv supplies. Their store was useless and they had no idea of the location of any rv dealers. I would stay again since I now know the answer to these questions.

Back again! Another wonderful stay at 4th Cliff, except for Mother Nature and high winds (Nor'easter). We stayed in RV9 which is at the top of the cliff. Our trailer was "rockin' & rollin'" during the night. The weather & winds actually "forced" us to leave a day earlier than we had planned. Other than that, we are very pleased with the area and had a wonderful time. I still wish and hope that they will extend the WiFi to cover the RV/cabin areas. I don't think it would take too much effort or expense. The staff is great! We will be back!

Love this place! I enjoy going here better than a regular hotel on the Cape. Great value and great location. We go yearly whenever we can get reservations.

Beautiful, but not a great place for big rigs in sites 9,10 & 11.the front or rear wheels are about 6 inches off the ground. We are in a 40 foot motorhome. We needed lots of blocks and a ladder to get into the rig. We were here Sept 9-12. The 9th was a cloudburst w/wind, 10th sunny w/wind. Today we are going to Cape Cod.

We were welcomed with a detour to start our hunt for the campground but the local badges were at the bridge to steer us right and we were quickly on Bayberry Street and across the other bridge to Central Ave and down to the campground. What a friendly staff. We got to site # 2 and though most of the sites are tight because of parking they are adequate and the views from the sites are nice to super depending on which you are at. Lots of cabins and and just lovely atmosphere. Couple rainy days but only for a few hours and one of those we were on Cape Cod and saw no rain. Lots to see and do. Internet at the office but not on the the end of CG. For the money it is a good deal as it is pricey down town. We want to come back and spend more time as it is very relaxing there. All the reviews are pretty accurate so I need not carry on.

We have just finished a two week stay in site 1 for the rv's. We found it very pleasant and all of the hookups worked well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We wish they would improve the wi-fi to include a tower on the cliff end so all sites could get on the internet. Bathrooms could be renovated as it had a lot of leaking problems but functioned well enough. We used our own showers. The location is great and close to a lot of things to see and do in Mass. We had a great time there and only one thunderstorm.
