Best Glamping near North Eastham, MA

231 Reviews

Nickerson State Park Campground and Dunes' Edge Campground offer distinctive glamping experiences in Cape Cod's natural surroundings. Both locations feature yurts and premium canvas accommodations that blend outdoor adventure with modern comforts. The glamping sites provide electricity, comfortable bedding, and proximity to freshwater kettle ponds for swimming. "This state park is a family favorite located on the cleanest and most beautiful kettle ponds I've ever had the pleasure of swimming in," noted one visitor about Nickerson. Each glamping accommodation maintains privacy through strategic placement among wooded areas, while still offering convenient access to shared amenities including hot showers, clean restrooms, and on-site camp stores where firewood and essential supplies can be purchased.

The Cape Cod Rail Trail runs directly through Nickerson State Park, connecting glamping guests to miles of scenic cycling routes that lead to nearby beaches, restaurants, and attractions. Safari tents at these glamping resorts provide an elevated camping experience with sturdy platforms, canvas walls, and proper furnishings that eliminate traditional camping hassles. According to a camper, "This is a wonderful campground. It is huge but is spread out so doesn't feel too crowded." Both locations maintain seasonal operations, with Nickerson open from April through October and Dunes' Edge offering similar availability. Glamping guests particularly appreciate the balance of natural immersion with creature comforts—enjoying stargazing and campfires by night while having access to proper beds and protection from insects. Proximity to Provincetown and Cape Cod National Seashore beaches makes these glamping destinations ideal for exploring the region's coastal attractions.

    Sweetwater Forest

    My New Go To Campground in Cape Cod.

    This was my first time at this campground and I have to say, it was a great place to stay. I camp with my dog and sometimes I want to explore places that he can't go. Sweetwater Forest has a small doggy day care where I can safely leave him and not worry. It's air conditioned and they have mellow music on.

    The comfort stations were clean and the showers have hot water and there's an outdoor sink & counter to wash dishes. The camp store is stocked with food and camping gear you may have forgotten or broke.

    The campsites that I saw are not right on top of each other, my site was a little above the other sites near me and the foot path to the bathroom was clearly marked and clear.

    The staff were friendly and although I did not have children with me, they have a lot of things for kids to do. There's an arcade, playground, basketball court and arcade. I definitely plan on going back and would recommend it to others.

    Sweetwater Forest

    Quiet, clean, and in a lovely location

    Sweetwater Forest has pleasant, secluded sites. This was the quietest campground during "quiet hours" that I've ever visited. Walking my dog late at night or early in the morning was absolutely silent. The camp store was well stocked and offered hot coffee and a variety of grocery items. There are a lot of touristy Cape spots a short drive away. It sits adjacent to a small horse farm, so that adds to the ambiance.

    Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

    Noisiest Campground

    I’ve been camping for over twenty years and this campground is by far the noisiest campground I have ever been to. If you are looking for any sort of peace and quiet this is NOT the place for you. The first night we were here it sounded like a massive stadium tailgate party. There was music, yelling, and voices coming from everywhere. It does die down as it gets closer to quiet hours but that’s at 11 pm and fires need to be out at midnight. So there is no sitting around the camp fire in the evening, listening to the crickets, they are drowned out by people noise. The second night wasn’t much better. The campground itself is well maintained and seems to really cater to large extended families and groups which is nice to see. There are a lot of sites here and they are very close together so there is little privacy. But the sites are paved for your camper, have nice fire pits and a picnic table. The hookups are good too. The staff is very friendly. They don’t seem to enforce many rules. A lot of unsupervised kids on bikes (we saw two different kids on different occasions who were lost),very little mask wearing, sites with way more people on them then there was suppose to be, lots of kids without helmets, constantly barking dogs. The place is definitely dog and kid friendly. It is near so many beaches and things to do and downtown Falmouth is really cute. It’s a good campground for a place to parking your camper and go off and do things, but if your looking for some privacy and quiet, this isn’t the place to go. We won’t be coming back here.

    Indianhead Resort

    Good people, needs updating

    The staff here is friendly and helpful whenever you call.

    The property itself is in need of updating. The bathrooms work well enough, but they are in need of a significant amount of maintenance.

    The sites are kept clean and have water and electric (some may be by powercord). The tent sites do not offer much separation in the area I stayed.

    The sites do have plenty of room for a tent, vehicle and each have their own fire pit and picnic table.

    It does have the ability for people to do several recreational activities on site: walking trails, beach, volleyball, basket ball.

    I stayed a couple nights and had a good stay overall.

    Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

    Good Campground, Great Location

    This campground was recently bought by Sun RV so there already some changes happening- the arcade room is closed and being remodeled and they now allow you to use your own boat (non motor) on the pond which is a definite improvement. Mini golf and the pools are nothing special. We have camped here every summer for 4 years in a “glamp” site which is large with fire pit. The staff has always been friendly and we even projected a movie 4th of July outdoors with no issue. That being said, we use this mostly as a location to do other things- Old Silver Beach is 10 minutes down the road as is the Shining Sea Bike path. Downtown Falmouth is 10 minutes away as well where you have great restaurants, shops and the ferry to the islands.

    Charge Pond Campground — Myles Standish State Forest

    Camping, biking and kayaking

    Over Memorial Day weekend, we camped at Myles Standish. We were in the Charged Pond area, in loop F. The campground doesn't have hook ups, but there is a dump station with water and water available around the loops. The lower part of the camp ground is set up in different loops. While this is a large campground, it didn't feel that large as the loop probably had 50 sites. Our site was wooded and pretty private for a state campground. We had plenty of room and the site had a fire pit and picnic table. Each loop has one bathhouse. Ours, unfortunately, did not have hot water. We were told if we wanted it, we could go to any of the other loops. The bathrooms had two showers and three stalls, two sinks. There were at least three outlets in the women's room which was convenient for a quick cell phone charge. 

    The check in process was a little challenging. We arrived later in the day and had hoped to get our pop up set up by dark, but the check in process took almost 30 mins between waiting in line and a VERY slow attendant. He was more worried about my out of state phone number than getting us checked in. He also kept trying to put us in a different section of the campground. I finally pulled up my reservation to show him that I was in the Charged Pond area. 

    Our daughters rate campgrounds by their bathrooms. I was pleasantly surprised that they received at least one cleaning during our time there. But regardless, the bathrooms weren't that clean. It wasn't the worst bathroom (thanks Yosemite for setting that standard), but it could have been a little more attended to. It scored a - "not so bad that we'd never come back" rating from the girls. 

    The bike trails through the part are great and we enjoyed them. Paved and mountain bike trails. The map they give you at check in isn't very good - hard to read and a little blurry. We picked up a nice printed, folded map at the visitor's center in town and it was much nicer and easier to read the trails. Take the map with you as the bike trails were a little confusing.

    We also enjoyed the various kettle ponds. We kayaked one morning and enjoyed watching the people catching good sized fish around us. The beach (at least at Charged Pond) had a nice sandy section and a bathhouse. 

    The town of Plymouth is about a 10 min. drive if you need anything. We never saw a camp store or even a place to get ice. But we didn't look that hard either. 

    I was surprised that it was fairly quite and not busier on a holiday weekend. We felt most people respected quiet hours and there were even empty sites in our loop. 

    We will definitely go back. It was a nice, quick getaway.

    Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

    Great 1st experience

    They have glamping sites, which include full hookup, fire pit with chairs, octagon shaped picnic table and stone patio for your rv front door. Pets welcomed, a ton of extra activities like row boat rental, kayak rental, mini golf for $3 all day, must bring a bicycle helmet if your riding bikes(state law), a small store, firewood for purchase, gated community, so you feel safe, 3 pools, laundry etc. We were impressed, only thing is main pool seems alittle run down and arcade area could look better than it does. Wish the had outdoor mo ie nights and crafts for kids

    Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground

    Good but a little boring

    I like this campground because it is close to home.  There isn't much to do here within the campground.  It has two areas.  The one nearer the camp entrance is smaller than the second.  The second one has a playground while the first one does not.  I would not recommend the first area if you have small children for this reason.  The playground is being revamped and looks awesome so far.  Unfortunately the bathroom right next to it is closed while the playground is being updated.  It is very hilly but many people enjoy riding their bikes here.  When driving, be careful of them.  I've hiked the trails and you have to be careful. They aren't always well maintained or marked.  They are right next to the main highway so you get car noise and can usually see them as well.  I find them to be uninteresting.  There is no swimming on site either.  On the positive side, the campground is within driving distance of great fishing, biking and tourist areas.

    Nickerson State Park Campground

    It's all about the section you choose

    We stayed three days at the park in August in section 6X. The sites in the park are varied. I deliberately picked our site (#146) in 6X because it looked like it was one of the larger sites and had more privacy. Which it did. The sites along that section were quite large, spacious and wooded. Many of the sites in the park are right on the roads. These were large enough that you could set up your tent or trailer further back off the road and still have a good amount of space. Next to us was a large 5th wheel camper which took up most of the site so even the large sites are hard for the very large campers. Our loop was very quiet, which we appreciated. Each site had a fire pit and picnic table. There were potable water spigots around the campground loop as well as at the dumpstation. There are also dumpsters and recycle bins throughout the park. 

    The bathrooms were pretty clean. The bathhouse which is located near the front of the loops for 6 and 6X were not. But the shower stalls were plentiful (probably 10 in the bathhouse in the women's side) and free. There was good pressure and hot water. Take note, though, the bathhouse only had one toilet. 

    The check in was easy and informative. There are ranger programs and that information is posted at the camp store, the check in and the bathhouse. The camp store is well stocked and you can get ice and firewood there. 

    We enjoyed the bike paths and the kettle ponds while we were there. If you have kayaks or floats, definitely bring them. The kettle ponds are great for small water craft. And there are plenty of bike paths throughout the park as well as the Cape Cod rail trail. 

    I was concerned that we would feel crowded and the park would be loud. But our section was just fine and we had a wonderful visit.

Guide to North Eastham

Cape Cod's North Eastham area features a unique coastal ecosystem where salt marshes meet freshwater kettle ponds, creating diverse camping environments along the peninsula's narrow midsection. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-80°F with frequent ocean breezes, while the shoulder seasons require warmer clothing for overnight temperatures that can drop into the 40s. Most campgrounds in this region operate seasonally from April through October due to the coastal New England weather patterns.

What to Do

Biking access: The Cape Cod Rail Trail runs through several campgrounds including Sweetwater Forest in Brewster. "The cape cod bike path and lots of great fishing off canal located right next to campground," notes a visitor at Bourne Scenic Park. Nickerson State Park offers extensive trail networks with one camper noting, "This is a great park for mountain biking, there are trails everywhere. Check NEMBA website for a trail map."

Beach exploration: Head to North of Highland Camping Area for direct beach access. "There is a ½ mile walking path that leads directly to Head of the Meadow beach; if you go to the town beach side, walk-ins are free!" shares one camper. Beaches near these campgrounds offer opportunities to see local wildlife, with another visitor mentioning, "We went to the beach there every evening and were greeted each time by seals!"

Off-season visits: Consider visiting Cape Cod during shoulder seasons for fewer crowds. "We stayed here in October and it was a little too chilly for us to camp but we gave it a shot," writes a camper about Shawme Crowell State Forest. Some campgrounds like Scusset Beach State Reservation operate longer than others with extended availability: "Scusset Beach offers an extended camping season, although the extended season is restricted to self-contained units."

What Campers Like

Privacy levels: Maurice's Campground in Wellfleet provides good site separation according to visitors. "Showers and bathrooms were clean and the tent sites were good size," reports one camper. At North of Highland, "All of the sites are shaded, and they are decently sized with picnic tables." Site privacy varies significantly between campgrounds, with Sweetwater Forest receiving praise: "We were on site B17 and it was perfect. Complete 360 privacy, well wooded, and just what was needed."

Waterfront options: Coastal Acres Campground provides unique access to Provincetown's waterfront. "Beautiful location right along the canal that you can bike down to the beach or just to watch some fisherman reel in some massive fish," shares a visitor. Another camper notes the practical benefit of staying at Scusset Beach: "The campground is on the north shore of the Cape Code canal and provides access to a sandy beach, a jetty, and the Cape Cod Canal Trail for biking and walking."

Natural soundscapes: Wildlife adds to the camping experience at several locations. At Sweetwater Forest, one visitor appreciates the "tent area in a woodsy hollow full of birds and interesting wildlife." Another camper notes the ambient sounds: "Listen to the sounds of frogs at night was kinda awesome." These natural elements create a more immersive glamping experience in North Eastham and surrounding Cape Cod locations.

What You Should Know

Reservation timing: Book well ahead for peak season visits to Nickerson State Park Campground. "This spot fills up quick so reservations well ahead of time are needed," advises one camper. For North of Highland, despite its size, advance planning is recommended: "We arrived around 10 am on a Saturday morning, and even though it was the weekend before July 4th, there were still several sites available for walk-ins (they have more than 250 sites)."

Fire regulations: Fire policies vary significantly between Cape Cod campgrounds. "No fires are allowed in the campground itself due to fire restrictions, but you can easily get beach fire permits to have one on the beach," explains a North of Highland visitor. At Dunes' Edge Campground, fire restrictions are strictly enforced with no exceptions.

Noise considerations: Several campgrounds enforce quiet hours strictly. At North of Highland, "The owners are VERY strict on their quiet hours policy (10:30pm – 7:30am)." Traffic noise affects some locations more than others, with one Bourne Scenic Park visitor noting, "Where we were it was close to the bridge and the traffic was loud all night." Consider site location within each campground based on noise sensitivity.

Tips for Camping with Families

Playground availability: Bourne Scenic Park offers extensive recreation facilities. "Lots of playgrounds for different ages, Bounce pad (in-ground), Pool," lists one family. Shawme Crowell also features "an awesome playground" according to visitors. Maurice's Campground provides direct bike trail access that families appreciate: "CC Rail trail goes right behind it so you can hop on your bike and ride."

Shower facilities: Coin-operated showers are common at Cape Cod campgrounds. North of Highland has "coin-op showers" where "for 1 quarter you get 7 min of hot water so it was a good deal." Families should bring quarters and plan accordingly, especially during busy morning and evening hours.

Educational opportunities: Adventure Bound Cape Cod: Horton's Campground provides access to nearby nature programs. Its location "Right next to Cape Cod National Seashore" creates opportunities for ranger programs and junior ranger activities. Nickerson State Park offers "Lots of programs for kids" according to visitors, making it another good option for families seeking structured activities during their glamping stay in Cape Cod.

Tips from RVers

Hook-up limitations: Many Cape Cod campgrounds offer partial hook-ups only. At Dunes' Edge Campground, "water/electric only" is standard, while at Bourne Scenic Park, "No sites have sewer; however, grey water dump stations are randomly placed throughout the campground and can be accessed with a garden hose." Plan water usage accordingly.

Site levelness: Prepare for potentially uneven terrain at some campgrounds. At Bourne Scenic Park, "Leveling was not an issue for us in our site (C-25) but the majority of sites would be a problem for a motorhome to get level without the aid of blocks. In fact, some sites were ridiculously unlevel and took a scary amount of blocks."

Size restrictions: Several campgrounds have limitations for larger RVs. Dunes' Edge Campground "is pretty tight if you have a big rig, but our 24ft was just fine. It's a big hill with a tight squeeze to enter the campground." Research specific site dimensions when making reservations for glamping experiences with larger recreational vehicles in the North Eastham region.
