Cape Cod
We are traveling up to Cape Cod later this month. Can anyone recommend their favorite camping spots up there. We plan to be there for 4 or 5 days exploring. Thank you!

- Nickerson State Park in Brewster is nice for dry camping - centrally located to visit the National Seashore, etc. Scussett Beach has w/e hookups, a lot of open (not shady) sites. Not as convenient to visit the Cape itself - since you need to cross the canal bridges each time. Both are nice, tho! ST
- About ten years ago, we had an enjoyable stay at Shady Knoll CG in Brewster. It is close to the Cape Code Rail Trail.
Shady Knoll CG - We enjoyed Atlantic Oaks a couple years ago as well.
Always check if the campground allows ground fires, if you care about having a campfire. Some that I'd like to stay at, closer to the National Seashore near Provincetown, do not. - Scusset SP is upper Cape...right on the beach at the end of the canal. Nice spot, if you can get in. Good striper fishing here. 2 hrs East is Nickerson SP, big park. Good spot to see the outer Cape from (Cape Cod National Sea Shore, Race Point,etc).
You might book a couple of days at each to minimize driving around a lot. There's plenty to explore from each.
PM if you want more deets. We live right next to the Cape, in fact my Wife is down there for 2 weeks with the camper...
Bill - We stayed at Atlantic Oaks in Eastham a couple of years ago. It's pretty centrally located and has direct access to the bike path. The sites weren't huge, but after Labor Day the place was only about 1/3 full. It was one of the cleanest campgrounds we've ever stayed at and the folks working there were very friendly. I'd stay there again.
