Fourth Cliff Family Recreation Area

A little dated. I’ve been going here for 22 years. Great location beach is as relaxing as it gets. Great for families, you are able to cook your own meals.

Awesome famcamp. This is for military only, so be aware of that. Quiet, views of the Atlantic, when the tide is out sandy beaches. Great place to rest and relax. Laundry, bathhouse, small camp store. Good place to go to Boston or Cape Cod National Seashore for a day.

I love the Fourth Cliff Recreational Area, unfortunately due to erosion it is now a compact area largely for RVs and camping. Each RV spot has its own hook ups for water, waste, and electrical. There is a beautiful campground restroom and bathhouse facility at the bottom of the hill and port-a-loos at the top. The area being in a residential spot is extremely quiet and peaceful, a great way to unwind if you're traveling from afar or even from in state. There are facilities for celebrations and events, spacious and scenic. The cabins are retro mid century modern style, but with all the necessary amenities. Sheets, pillows, blankets, full sized appliances in the kitchens (but no dishwashers). Propane fireplaces add to the scenic beach views on chilly days. The beach is very rocky, but a breathtaking sunset year round. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the erosion warnings upon check in.

As with many military places, no discount for staying longer. She told me two weeks max at a time for RV slots it the "cabins"... Ok... Water pressure was good, electric hookup was excellent, cell reception was as good as we've had in a while... Bath House was spacious and the Hot water was SOO HOT! Laundromat was cozy- 2.50 for smaller washers, same price for BIG dryers. THE VIEW WAS TREMENDOUS!! Few things are nicer for me than to just look out the window and see the shore. We went and waded several times, and got plenty of magic rocks for the grandkids. Aside from the minor inconvenience of having to physically open and close the drive thru gates, it was all good ...

Our campsite was nice - full service - on a cliff with a view of the ocean in the front and the beach in the back. It's a little dicey to get to driving a 36' Class A with a toad. Streets are very narrow. The gate is manual so someone has to get out and open and close it. The office is quite run down and needs a serious coat of paint and the Wi-Fi password didn't work, but the cottages looked like they were very well maintained - cute little cape cods with a view of the beach or ocean. For the price, it was the best value in our whole trip from Texas to Maine, and close enough to Boston for sightseeing.
