Boston / Cape Cod KOA Holiday Reviews

We came to KOA Boston/Cape Cod as first time campers looking for a family friendly campsite (we have a busy outdoor loving 1.5 year old) with lots to do but with privacy at our site. So this review is from a very unseasoned camper with nothing to compare it to! We chose KOA because it seemed great for kids and wasnt too far from home. We got everything we we're hoping for in our first camping trip! We had seen quite a few reviews about this particular KOAs management being not so great, so were unsure of what to expect. We had zero issues with staff or management. The people at check in were kind and helpful, I loved that they escorted you to your site after checking in so we didnt have to try to navigate the campground ourselves as first timers. The staff running the kids crafts and activities were also very nice. Other than these times and staff coming by to pick up our trash, no one ever bothered us! We did have probably the most secluded tent site available on the grounds, so maybe that was why we didnt run into staff very often. The RV sites are much closer together and near all the action so probably see employees pssing by more regularly. Our tent site: we had site T16, it was great. It was the one furthest out from the main drag of the grounds, which is what i requested, so I was happy they were able to accommodate my request. Though we were the most secluded, nothing was so far away that we couldnt access it easily. The bathrooms and showers were a quick walk across a field, as was the pavillion where all the children's activities were. Wecould see them from our site. Even walking back to the front of the geounds where the store, pool and playground were was only a 5ish minute walk from our site. A few things ill say about this tent site are that: the "grass" tent pad was pretty much non existent. The site was mostly dirt. Also the edges surrounding the site did have some areas with lots of thorns, which is probably only a problem for people with a feral toddler like us 😂 and lastly the road passes right behind our site and you can see/hear the cars clearly right through a small patch of trees. But none of these were deal breakers for us and we would definitely request the same site next time we stay. Kids Activities: There was so much to do! Our son is still young so even though a lot of the crafts or activities were a little too advanced for him, we were able to do a couple of them and it was really fun. There was pretty much some type of event or activity going on at all times all weekend long. There are two plygrounds. One is more simple with things like a small obstacle course, cornhole, ladder golf, kids swings, basketball, volleyball and lawn billiards. The other one closer to the store/office had a large play structure, which is good for bigger kids. It was a little too big for our 1.5 year old. He loved the jumping pad and bounce pillow! We also loved that the pool was heated! We were able to swim comfortably even though it was a little cooler in the morning. Facilities: the entire campground seemed very clean and well maintained! Bathrooms and showers were older but clean. The grounds are very clean. The campground store at the check in office was very helpful if we forgot something and was also reasonably priced! I got my little guy some cute souveniers for around $5-8 each. They also sell ice there (i got four bags for $11) and can have wood delivered directly to your campsite if you need it! (You are allowed to bring your own if you want to which we did.) Overall, we are super happy with how our first camping trip went and will absolutely be camping at KOA again! Likely will check out some of the other New England locations as well. The atmosphere here is great, everyone is friendly, staff and other campers included, kids riding bikes all around, everyone chatting around their campfires, lots to do, clean and well kept facilities, an awesome family friendly campground. I'll attach some photos of our stay!
