Description: One of the largest and oldest campgrounds on Cape Cod, Sweetwater is a sprawling spread of 250 sites on 75 acres of woodland bordering Snow’s Pond. You can rent a canoe and cruise around the lake, fish off the dock, or play horseshoes on the beach—you can even arrange for a tractor-pulled hayride. There are five different playgrounds, as well as an 18-hole minigolf course. Free wireless Internet access is available. There is also a Memory Garden and play center.Sites are available with partial or full hookups, and there’s a separate area just for tents. Each site has its own picnic table and fireplace. Four modern comfort stations with free hot showers ensure that you won’t have far to go when you have to go. Rates start at $32 per day for a family of four with no hookup, $46 for full hookup, which includes cable TV with the electric hookup. Reservations are recommended during the summer and on holiday weekends, and pets are allowed. Though the grounds officially close from Nov through Apr, self-contained camping is allowed during these months.
