Plymouth, Massachusetts · 2026

Sandy Pond Campground

An awesome campsite, a patio that became our outdoor living room, and some of the friendliest campground employees we have met.

The Trail Tater verdict

Five taters—and something more.

Overall campground rating🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔

Lisa and Ken agreed that the campsite was awesome. The patio made the site feel more like an outdoor living room than a patch of ground, and the layout worked beautifully for Trail Tater, the tents, the crew and the camp kitchen.

Sandy Pond became the first campground to earn Trail Tater’s highest title: Super Tater Park. 🏆🥔

Campground food report

The general store earned a place in the story.

Friday night, three large pizzas from the store fed the crew. At $9.99 each, they were inexpensive, convenient and exactly what a hungry campsite needed. The store’s hot breakfast sandwiches and hot and cold lunch sandwiches also made it far more useful than the limited office camp store.

Would we return? Gladly. That is the question behind every Tater rating—and Sandy Pond answered it without hesitation.
