Best Loop at MSSF

Cozy little loop at MSSF, with a lot of variation in quality across the lots, but generally good spacing and great views. Avoid J28, especially if it's going to get wet. The stuff further out tends to feel more remote, facilities clean and pretty good, camp staff great all around. This is a nice site, I'll be back.

Small campground near a small pond at Myles Standish

This campsite loop at Myles Standish State Forest is closest to the headquarters and borders a small pond with beach. In addition to tent/RV sites, there are 3 yurts available with bunks. Sites that appear to be near the pond are pond view rather than pondside. Approaches to Yurt JC and J5, J 26, J27 are sloped. J14 is a little awkward. J33 is probably among the largest and nicest with a pond view. The sites aren't as large as those in the Charge Pond loops, but it's a smaller campground.

The loop has flush toilets and showers. Water is available, but no electric hookups. Fire rings and picnic tables provided. Cell phone coverage throughout the forest is poor to absent; download maps for offline use if you want to be sure to know where you are or find directions. There are miles of bike trails and ponds for fishing, swimming, and boating. There's a larger beach and picnic area at College Pond.

Surrounded by Ponds

Conveniently located near Cape Code and close to Boston, Myles Standish State Forest is a beautiful spot surrounded by ponds. The campground is split into different areas depending on your needs (electric, equestrian, tent-only). My campsite was on Barrett's Pond and was a large site with easy access to near by trails. This is great place for hiking, riding horses and bikes with lots of trails for both. The staff is great and helpful ensuring you have everything you need for full enjoyment. Although dogs can't swim in Barrett pond, they are welcome in the campground and can swim at the nearby East Pond that also has a nice 3 miles trail around the circumference. Showers are available as well as filtered drinking water.
