About
A Massachusetts DCR campground in Sandwich, at the Atlantic end of the Cape Cod Canal, with 100 individually mapped campsites live on ReserveAmerica's own per-site facility map (1 Safari/RV/Family, 94 RV/trailer electric, 5 tent-only). The facility's own live per-site map also plots one or more day-use-only shelter/picnic/meeting-room markers alongside the real campsites; those are excluded from total_sites here as they are not campsites. Includes 1 "Safari/RV/Family Camping" site, a real, distinct named type on the vendor's own live facility map, counted here as a no-hookup individual site. Reservable through the Massachusetts DCR's own ReserveAmerica/Aspira contract (contractCode=MA), hosted directly at reserveamerica.com.
Fees
Campsite Fees at Scusset Beach $22 for MA resident / $70 non-resident; PLUS $4 water and $6 electric hookups at all RV sites; PLUS $2 surcharge to benefit the Scusset Beach Trust Fund. There is a $4.50 non-refundable transaction charge for each reservation made. (reserveamerica.com, live per-facility fee notice)
