Shady Acres Family Campground

Excellent staff and activities. Pet friendly and nice people. My kids love it and never want to leave! Great location near Plymouth and the Cape. Surrounded by Myles Standish forest and cranberry bogs.

We came to stay for the weekend at the end of the camping season just to check the place out. The sites are very close to each other with not much room to set up the that we would want set up our site.
We got there after the office closed at 5:00PM. A note was left at the now closed office for us. Of how to get in the gate and a map to get to our campsite. Well so much for checking in and getting firewood or having any questions taken care of. But we were in and got set up.
The place is on the large side with many seasonal sites. So campers staying short term I don’t think have many choices of sites with all of the hookups for there campers that they might need.
The place is very clean. Looked like they just updated the restrooms.
We did have a problem with the noise on Saturday night. Quite time is from 10:00PM. — 8:00AM. And one of the seasonal sites across from us had a party going on until around 1:00AM. With about 8 loud people drinking and not even trying to keep the noise down. We asked if they could keep the noise down some. And they did not even try to they told us that they lived there and were seasonal campers. We called the now long closed office to let them know about the loud noise from the site. And had to leave a voice mail message? And of course nothing was done about the late night noise.
Come back here to camp again? I DON’T THINK SO! We could think what this place is like in peak season with all the seasonal campers here?

Just spent a weekend here, and certainly will NEVER camp here again. For starters, Jackie and Mike (owners)-really should practice being friendly it is a campground after all. Customer service here was something to be desired other than one new woman in the office that was still training. Upon arriving we were told by Jackie we could only have one car on a site (even though we were in tents and clearly had enough room). After setting up camp, I did go back down to ask if I could pay extra and to then point out others had two cars, she then changed her tune and said «OK». The water out of the spigot was rust colored, even after flushing for half hour still was not water you would use for anything-​Did bring to their attention. The campground has one bathroom (open) located in the middle near pool area for the WHOLE campground, four stalls and two showers in ladies room. Updated looking, they did have one family restroom. On my way to use restroom Saturday am a worker standing outside asked me «how long was I going to be as he would like to clean», I said not long as I was going to just be changing. «He said, «ok good your not showering right?» Then asked me to use family bathroom so he could get his work done. Ohh and lock on family bathroom wasn’t working properly, he said «I will let someone know». Seemed that was beginning to be a theme here. They did maintain pool cleanliness in the morning and evening. No phone for emergencies (should be a 911 phone). Was very crowded, they also shut down pool use for kids activities for about a half hour-(kids swimming competition doesn’t need to be like Olympics… they are just kids). Again, Jackie really needs to be a bit more enthusiastic (lose the pig tails you are a grown woman)! The campground site itself had gravel and fire place rings that could be situated anywhere, not really smart thinking. Should be a designated spot for safety reasons. This is the place where old campers go when no-​place else will let them be a seasonal. They did have pool tables, few arcade games, library area, nice playground structure that they close promptly at 9pm. Mini-​golf advertised but not open for season (August???) As well as the ice cream stand was closed. Inside office they did have wood and ice and a few other grocery items. Pond was dirty, only use for fishing (no swimming) might grow an extra toe. Overall, poor customer skills and rude responses really will be the reason I will never recommend to anyone and will continue to share my story to save some other family of four with two kids the aggravation we encountered here. I work in Sales and work with people daily so to not have the simple friendly skills to interact with people (especially campers/​friendliest people on earth)-will be why you will lose good campers and will attract a different crowd than the higher ranked campgrounds nearby.

beautiful scenery friendly staff, jam packed with things to do, outgoing campers make this place a must try on your families summer vacation schedule.
