Camping on Cape Cod: Tent Camping
Tent camping is a great way to immerse yourself in Cape Cod’s incredible natural settings. Many Cape Cod camping areas are near the beach, nestled in wooded groves, or perched on a hillside with fantastic views. Favorites include Bay View Campground near Bourne, Nickerson State Park at Brewster, Coastal Acres in Provincetown, North of Highland Camping Area at Truro, and Maurice’s Campground near the Cape Cod National
Finally, Maurice’s sits right next to the Cape Cod Rail Trail with quick access to National Seashore beaches, Nauset Light, and the Wellfleet Drive-in Theater. Each of these has well shaded campsites with lots of trees for privacy. There are dining options either onsite or very close by, most have laundry facilities, and all have showers and clean restrooms. Tent camping on Cape Cod is definitely a step above “primitive.”
Camping on Cape Cod: RV Camping
If roughing it in a tent is not your cup of tea, RV camping lets you bring your personal space with you. In addition to some of the above locations that also support RVs, Cape Cod has several RV parks that are really part campground, part resort. Cape Cod RV Resort in Falmouth has swimming pools, miniature golf, a clubhouse, a game room, and a recreational lake with its own sandy beach.
On the other side of Sandwich, Peters Pond RV Resort has campsites, cabins and cottages, a lounge with a library, an outdoor pool, hot tub, playground, volleyball and basketball courts, and a game room.
And, on Martha’s Vineyard, the island’s only campground has RV sites as well as cabin rentals with a recreation room, playground, basketball hoop, and a recreation field. Most RV parks include free wi-fi, electric and cable or dish TV hook-ups, laundry rooms, restrooms, showers, and dump stations. Many also rent bikes, kayaks, and canoes, and all are conveniently located near some of the Cape’s best attractions, bike trails, beaches, and towns.
For families, whether you’re tent camping, RV camping, or staying in a hotel, the kids can get bored and adults can be in desperate need of some grown-up time. Once again, Cape Cod and the Islands deliver.
