Best Campgrounds near Mashpee Neck, MA

446 Reviews

Cape Cod campgrounds near Mashpee Neck provide diverse accommodations from full-service facilities to more rustic options. Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground offers tent, RV, and cabin sites with varying amenities under a tree canopy. Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins in East Falmouth and Bourne Scenic Park feature mixed-use campgrounds with hook-up options for RVs alongside tent camping areas. These established campgrounds operate primarily from spring through fall, with most closing between mid-October and early May.

Seasonal considerations heavily impact the camping experience in this coastal region. Many campgrounds require advance reservations, especially during the peak summer season when availability becomes limited. "The camp has so few trees, the winds can be gnarly. On the flip side, the lack of trees gives you a great spot to stargaze, especially if you focus your view out over the ocean," noted one visitor about Scusset Beach State Reservation. Weather conditions vary significantly with coastal storms possible year-round and strong winds common near beachfront sites. Most campgrounds offer varying levels of amenities from primitive tent sites to full RV hookups with water, electric, and sewer connections.

Waterfront locations represent a significant draw for campers in the area. Scusset Beach State Reservation provides direct beach access with camping options overlooking Cape Cod Bay. Several visitors mentioned the proximity to beaches and water activities as major highlights of camping in the region. Bourne Scenic Park offers sites with canal views and access to the Cape Cod Canal bike path. The region balances natural settings with convenient access to Cape Cod attractions. A recent review noted, "We liked this campground because it is close to home. There isn't much to do here within the campground. It is very hilly but many people enjoy riding their bikes here." Several campgrounds near Mashpee Neck provide good access to both Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean beaches, making them popular bases for exploring the broader Cape region.

    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.

Guide to Mashpee Neck

Camping spots near Mashpee Neck, Massachusetts sit at the gateway to Cape Cod, positioned on sandy soils that support distinct pine barrens ecology. Summer temperatures typically range from 70-85°F with higher humidity levels along the coastline. Road noise can affect some campgrounds, particularly those near the Cape Cod Canal bridges where traffic increases significantly during peak season weekends.

What to do

Beach exploration: 10-15 minutes away from most Mashpee Neck camping areas, with several options for water activities. At Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins, you'll find "a private little lake with rentals & fishing, 2 pools, playground, store, etc. and it's all conveniently located in cape cod" according to camper Aliceon W.

Canal fishing: Outstanding catches possible along the Cape Cod Canal, accessible from several campgrounds. "If you like fishing this is your place," notes Rick R. about Scusset Beach State Reservation, which sits directly on the canal with jetty access.

Biking: Miles of dedicated paths throughout the region, including the Cape Cod Canal Trail. At Nickerson State Park, "there are bike paths in the park and the park is located on the main bike trail on the Cape. We have biked to ice cream shops, restaurants and a nearby beach," shares Heather J.

What campers like

Pond swimming: Natural spring-fed water at several campgrounds offers clean alternatives to ocean beaches. At Myles Standish State Forest, "the pond water was very clear, seeing as they are fed from natural springs under the ponds," according to Kyle C., who enjoyed swimming in the kettle ponds.

Privacy between sites: Many campers value space from neighbors. Gena F. at Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground notes, "Even though the sites here are pretty uninspiring (no views or much happening right around the campground) you likely won't be hanging out there for long." The campground serves as a good base for Cape Cod exploration.

Affordability: Camping provides budget-friendly Cape Cod access. "Stu L. calls Shawme Crowell the "right price for cape 'lodging'" while Martha's Vineyard Family Campground offers "a semi decent value for what you got" according to Michelle B., making it possible to stay on Martha's Vineyard without hotel prices.

What you should know

Peak season crowds: Most campgrounds fill completely on summer weekends but empty significantly midweek. Kyle C. observed at Myles Standish: "if you stay on a Friday or Saturday night, the campground may be to capacity, like it was when we stayed. But the Sunday, and Monday nights, the 7 closest spots to us were empty."

Varying noise levels: Traffic sound impacts some campgrounds. Tim C. warns about Bourne Scenic Park: "It is very close to Rt 6 so the traffic noise is almost constant especially friday nights. Not recommended for light sleepers but very convenient."
