Best Campgrounds near Edgartown, MA

368 Reviews

Camping options near Edgartown, Massachusetts center primarily on established campgrounds rather than dispersed camping, with Martha's Vineyard Family Campground serving as the main camping area on the island. Located on Edgartown Road in Vineyard Haven, this campground accommodates tents, RVs, and cabins from mid-May through mid-October. The surrounding region includes several developed campgrounds within driving distance on Cape Cod, including Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins in East Falmouth and Washburn Island Campsites at Waquoit Bay Reserve, providing alternatives for those exploring the broader area.

Seasonal considerations heavily influence camping in this coastal New England region, with most campgrounds operating only from May through October. According to one visitor, "Pay $300-$500/night for a hotel or this campground for $35/night? I'll take the campground any day." Martha's Vineyard Family Campground offers convenient public transportation access, with a bus stop at the entrance providing transportation throughout the island. Reservations are strongly recommended during peak summer months when accommodations across Martha's Vineyard fill quickly. Non-Massachusetts residents should note that many state-operated campgrounds charge significantly higher fees for out-of-state visitors, a policy mentioned in several reviews of nearby state parks.

Campers report high satisfaction with the island location and proximity to beaches. The Martha's Vineyard campground provides amenities including electric hookups, water, showers, and a camp store, though pets are not permitted. A visitor commented that "the bus picks up and drops off just outside the campground and with a weekly bus pass you can be anywhere on the island within minutes." For those seeking more rustic experiences, Washburn Island Campsites offers boat-in access for tent camping. Travelers planning to camp near Edgartown should consider transportation logistics, as bringing a vehicle to Martha's Vineyard requires advance ferry reservations, which can be difficult to secure during summer months. Many campers opt to leave their vehicles on the mainland and use public transportation or bicycles to explore the island.

    Coastal Acres Campground

    Favorite campsite of all time

    Absolutely adore this campground. Much of what others have said in the reviews is true – the sites are small and there’s not a ton of privacy in many spots (although you certainly can find more private spots if you know which to book). But none of this is really matters given the location. Less than 10 minute walk to downtown Provincetown, and an extremely safe, enjoyable walk. You cannot beat the access to one of the best towns in the world. The campground also felt very safe and incredibly quiet.

    Fort Getty Campground

    Great Park Just Not for Camping

    Forty Getty Park RV Campground seems like a great location, with a good bit of history and a lot to offer to anyone visiting, which is why I was eager to visit it this past weekend while traveling through the Jamestown area of Rhode Island. I'd still call it a great place to visit, just not the best to attempt to stay at overnight or camp at. That is something else entirely in this case. 

    THE GOOD👍 Again, an absolutely gorgeous location on the shores of Jamestown😍 that being the park, NOT the campgrounds. The campground itself🏕 and particularly the⛺️ tenting section are pretty far removed from any of that and the water itself in reality. 

    THE Bad. In actuality, the campground looks to be a complete afterthought. More like, What should we do with this little grassy area next to the RV park?... oh maybe that can be for tents! Or,. Where the hell are we going to fit some tents⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️around here? Oh, I know, how about over on the hill by the bathrooms?🚻 next to the RV park fencing? Oh yeah, that sounds Perfect👍 

    The Ugly There's no Ugly. The people seem nice, the park is great,t and everyone working there was polite and courteous. It's just a shame they haven't given any real consideration to the camping section or provided a real space for campers to come enough the area. What you're left with is a grassy knoll with a bunch of tent sites tightly clustered together and right next to or on top of the RV park in a way that didn't seem necessary.

    Atlantic Oaks Campground

    Great home base for Cape Cod

    We spent a week in Cape Cod at Atlantic Oaks Campground and so glad we did. We paid $113 per night plus fees for a FHU 50 Amp Pull-thru site(#A6). 

    This campground makes a great home-base while touring Cape Cod. 

    THINGS I LIKED: 

    • Great location in Eastham— with access to National Seashore, Provincetown, several great beaches and lighthouses, and much more 
    • Beautiful park setting with well-kept natural landscaping including lots of mature shade trees 
    • Access to Cape Cod Rail Trail right from the campground— bring your bikes 
    • Our hookup utilities all worked fine 
    • This may seem like a silly thing to comment on, but I like how they installed mini picket fences to block the view of the sewer connections from the neighbors— this is a great idea I wish other campgrounds would do too(see the photos) 

    THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH: 

    • Just one thing that bothered me— the sites were all sandy dirt which made everything dirty and dusty(gravel would be an appreciated improvement) 

    WOULD WE COME BACK? 

    Absolutely, this is a nice place with plenty to do 

    WANT A FUN TIP? 

    Check out Wellfleet Drive-in Theatre, just a couple minutes away. We saw Jaws(Jaws~ in Cape Cod!) and had a great evening.

    Jellystone Park™ Cranberry Acres

    Warning…total bug infestation from our stay

    I was not going to write a review because I truly believe in giving places a fair chance. But after speaking with the district manager I feel I need to give a warning to anyone planning their vacation here. Today is Thursday, we were at cranberry acres from last Thursday until Monday. Our stay was awesome. We did it all the campground offered and had a blast. We stayed with our friends who rented the cabin next to us. Today we discovered that the brand new paper towels I bought from Shawn’s last week and kept(open) under the sink in our cabin were completely infested with what our exterminator says are weevils. The bugs poured out of the bag in a hallway downstairs, are all over the floor, in the guest room and in the bathroom. So now on top of this vacation we are now having to have an exterminator come treat our house for these bugs. We are avid“glampers” with our friends. This is something we do all summer all over New England for years now and this is the very first time we’ve ever experienced something like this. The manager at the campground was wonderful and apologized profusely and called the district manager to call me. This is where things went off the rails. He stated“how do we know they didn’t come from Shaws?”.“Well the unit has been rented and we have had no complaints“. which seeing that this is now three days later I’m sure there isn’t yet.“well thank you for letting us know, we will keep an eye out.”. In all fairness the resort was great, lots to do and we filled every day. The infestation from this vacation does not feel worth the experience. If you stay please keep everything sealed and wash every thing that you bring thoroughly when you get home so you do not wind up in the situation we are in.

    Charge Pond Campground — Myles Standish State Forest

    Quiet and spacious sites

    We stayed in loop b south, which is really not a loop but a dead end. Very quiet, and we were the only people in the loop for a couple of days. Sites are nice and level and large. Vegetation between sites for privacy.

    Coastal Acres Campground

    Very nice place

    It’s a great location and within walking distance distance to Commercial Street.

    The campground staff is very friendly and helpful and there is a little store on property that you can buy thing like milk, snacks and essentials for camping. They also have t-shirts, etc for purchase.

    Campground d is very quiet and spacious and lots of wildlife around. A turkey wandered thru our site.

    Sites are easy to get in and out of. Kind of close but not a problem for us.

    We will absolutely come here again!!!

    Dunes' Edge Campground - Provincetown Camping

    A bit cold in May, otherwise a great stay.

    The staff were very helpful and friendly. They do have some strict rules about plastic bottles and using the dish washing stations. Also, it costs twenty five cents for a three minute shower. Overall, a very nice and well managed campsite.
