We proudly strive to provide guests with a clean, quiet vacation option for camping near some of Cape Cod’s best beaches. We remain one of the few campgrounds on Cape Cod that are focused on creating a more natural camping experience. Our wooded campsites are woven among the famously twisted pitch pine trees of the outer cape. The campground is completely surrounded by the Cape Cod National Seashore Park in scenic North Truro. Best of all, Head of the Meadow Beach is just a short walk away from our campsites. 

We are more oriented toward tent camping than most other campgrounds these days.  So you won’t be lost in a sea of giant RVs.  However, we also provide some great campsite options for smaller tent trailers, or camper vans, as well as a few smaller travel trailers and RVs under 25 feet. So guests may still enjoy our more traditional camping experience with some of those comforts.  

We are less about “glamping” and more about enjoying the natural wonder of Cape Cod in a peaceful camping environment.  In the interest of creating this peaceful and relaxing camping environment, we ask guests to be respectful of one another.  So guests are expected to follow our evening Quiet Hours, and to leave their pets, generators, and motorcycles at home.

Most of our campsites do NOT have electricity and water connections.  We only have a few designated full-season campsites that provide such hookups. This makes us an ideal fit for tenters, backpackers, and anyone looking for a more authentic camping experience.  We have centrally located water spigots for excellent drinking water throughout the campground. We maintain clean restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities for our guests, as well as a convenient camp store for food and camping necessities that is open much of the season.  

For convenience, we provide access to free charging stations in Area 1 for your essential personal electronics items, such as cell phones, laptops and tablets.  We also provide free Wi-Fi access for guests throughout much of Area 1. Wi-Fi is accessible in our large recreation hall, around our playground and outdoor picnic areas, and in our adult quiet room. This enables guests to comfortably use their laptops and phones to work on emails or remote work.

At the time of booking we assign what we believe is our best available campsite for each reservation.  We do not promise specific campsite locations in advance for stays of less than 13 nights.  However, even for shorter stays, we attempt to best match your needs and preferences. Reserving well in advance helps ensure greater campsite availability.  This is especially helpful when reserving campsites that are adjoining each other, as long as you and your friends request to be near one another. So please let us know if you plan to come camping with friends.

It has been rewarding to hear how many campers continue to appreciate the cleanliness of our facilities, and our focus on creating a more authentic, tent-focused and family friendly camping environment. 

We greatly appreciate all of our returning camping guests, who stay with us frequently.  We are also thankful for the scores of first-time guests who discovered us over the past few years.  Many of you have shared that you intend to come back camping with us again this season, inviting your family and friends.  We are glad that so many fellow campers have been able to get outdoors and experience the natural beauty of Cape Cod!
