Cape Cod Camping
Cape Cod camping is all about getting outdoors and spending some time to immerse your senses into nature. Some popular outdoor activities that attract many visitors include bicycling, walking the self-guiding nature trails, fishing, shell-fishing, whale watching, bird watching, and of course, camping. Choose from several day and weekly camps for kids, and for family camping, from the numerous Cape Cod campgrounds. There's something for everyone. While camping in the summer may require reservations in advance, immediately before and after the months of June, July and August is where you will find more choice (vacancies).
There are a few State parks offering Cape Cod camping (Roland Nickerson, Scusset Beach, and Shawme-Crowell). They are included in the lists below however,
