Normandy Farms Family Camping Resort

We stayed at Normandy Farms Family Camping Resort in Foxboro, Massachusetts. (Campground Reviews listing.)

Established way back in 1759 as a farm, and made into a campground in the late 1960’s, this campground has been around a while, and has the amenities to show for it, if you’re into such things. Very popular with weekenders. Though we did visit on the Fourth of July weekend, so it might have been more busy than normal.

Our review on Campground Reviews:

Great base for New England exploration

We’re not really “campground activities” kind of people, but if you are, this is the place to go and do that. For us, it was a great home base for exploring Boston, Cape Cod, and a daytrip into CT and RI, so we didn’t spend a lot of time at the campground itself. I really enjoyed having a massage therapist on site, however. What an awesome perk that I wish more campgrounds had. While the amenities offered definitely live up to the “resort” name, the sites themselves were a bit on the basic side, with gravel roads, pads that weren’t entirely level, and no garbage pickup. The utilities all worked well, however, and they do accept packages. We’d be happy to stay here again when we’re in the area. We camped at Normandy Farms Family Camping Resort in a Motorhome.

Travel from Trenton, Maine to Foxboro, Massachusetts

We drove our coach 324 miles, about six hours of driving, from Trenton, Maine to Foxboro, Massachusetts.

Here’s a map showing our route, heading southwest — the start of our westward journey, which will culminate in reaching our Washington home base in September:

RV podcast: The RV Atlas

The RV Atlas

Another RV-themed podcast that I enjoy is The RV Atlas podcast.

It is hosted by Stephanie and Jeremy Puglisi, with hundreds of episodes on RV topics including tips, RV reviews, interviews with guests, and more.

It can be a bit ad-heavy, but often has interesting content.

Listen in your preferred podcast app.

Sugar Bakery

We walked across the road from the campground to Sugar Bakery to pick up some lunch and snacks.

They are cash only — something their website doesn’t mention. They would have made at least twice as much from us if they accepted credit cards. They do have an ATM inside, but that’s even more hassle. With modern technology, there’s no excuse to not accept credit cards and tap payments.

Momo’s Cheesecakes

We stopped by Momo’s Cheesecakes in Ellsworth, Maine to buy some cheesecake slices.

This isn’t your typical shop: it’s like an extra-fancy farm stand, where you self-serve whole or slices of cheesecakes and other goodies, and pay via cash boxes or Venmo. An excellent idea!
