USCG Cape Cod RV Park

The campground is out in a secluded area of the base. Nothing much out there but trees, grass, and 5 campsites so it makes it very quiet. It is full hookup, but the sewer tube is about 6" proud of the ground, so our dump ended up backing up a bit. There is a small bathroom trailer nearby. The dumpster is a ways away though, far enough to need to drive to.

Getting access with my VHIC card was a pain. There are no phone numbers we could call. All telephone systems seem to be automated with no callback. We were granted access because my husband has a CAC contractor card, but we were told that my VHIC is being phased out on the base. I came back the next day to receive a paper pass after showing my VHIC so that I could get access to the base without him. I was told that I would need to show the paper pass and my driver's license for temporary access. If I wanted longer access, I would need to go down to the Welcome Center, at the end of Connery Ave, and have them process my VHIC to receive another card which would allow me more permanent access, without having to present the paper copy. The paper pass also does not allow sponsoring or escorting.

There is a very small commissary/exchange combined. I was able to get a few things, but things are more expensive here than we are used to.

The campground itself was fine for the price and check-in was easy. They have lockboxes for after hours check-in.

We received 136 down and 14 up on Starlink. Verizon was only 1 bar on the phone and 3 bars with our cell antenna. AT&T was much better with the cell antenna at 5 bars.

When you visit the Cape there aren't a lot of inexpensive options so this is a steal for active duty and military retirees if you came to explore the lower cape and the islands. Tons of beaches, shops and restaurnats to visit. Short drive to the Martha's Vineyard Ferry . Good Golf Course for 15.00, The Falcon Club grill on the course serves delicious sandwiches and salads and also does take out. Base is pretty quiet and empty. The is a small exchange/ commissary combined. More grocery stores a short drive away. Free Laundry at the Wings in on Base. No restroom at campsites.
