About
A Massachusetts DCR campground in Sandwich, near the Cape Cod Canal, with 234 individually mapped campsites live on ReserveAmerica's own per-site facility map (60 non-electric, 155 tent-only, 9 RV/trailer non-electric, 10 popup/tent). 6 additional yurt unit(s) are also bookable here but are lodging, not counted in the campsite totals above. 5 separate group camping site/area(s) are also bookable here, separate from the individual/family campsites counted above. 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. Reservable through the Massachusetts DCR's own ReserveAmerica/Aspira contract (contractCode=MA), hosted directly at reserveamerica.com.
Fees
Campsite Fees at Shawme Crowell State Forest $17 for MA resident / $54 for non-resident. There is a $4.50 non-refundable transaction charge for each reservation made. (reserveamerica.com, live per-facility fee notice)
