Cape Cod Suggestions

Hello All,

Looking for some feedback. Last week in July we will be spending a week on Martha's Vineyard. Had to sell our first born to get the truck and trailer over there but what the heck... ;) Just prior to that however we have a Friday to Tuesday slot of time open that we were looking to stay on the cape itself. It has been since I was a kid that I was up there so I need some thoughts.

My first thought was to stay in an area toward the beginning of the cape which seems to be more commercial just as a contrast to the vineyard, but typically those are not usually areas we look for. We are from PA and generally camp in state parks and national parks with a few private campgrounds mixed in. That said, we do want full hookups and are not against the commercial areas for that portion if you guys think it is worth it. Or do we venture all the way out the cape to the very end, in the middle, ??? National seashore area looks great?

If you have a minute, please share your thoughts as well as share good campground suggestions. We do have 9yr old twin daughters so pools and beaches are always a good thing, but they also enjoy biking, kayaks, as well as visiting small towns and shopping. Last year we did Acadia NP which was great. Girls loved it! Perfect mix of rustic and town when we visited Bar Harbor.

Final thought... We are also open to staying somewhere along the way from PA to the Cape if there is an area worth while of 4 nights.

Thanks all!
