Best Campgrounds near North Truro, MA

398 Reviews

North Truro, Massachusetts features several established campgrounds along Cape Cod's scenic coastline. Popular options include North of Highland Camping Area and Adventure Bound Cape Cod, both offering tent and RV accommodations within walking distance of beaches. The area combines wooded pine settings with convenient ocean access, making it popular for summer beach camping. Most campgrounds in North Truro provide basic amenities such as drinking water, showers, and toilets, with varying levels of hookup availability for RVs.

Camping in North Truro operates seasonally, with most facilities open from mid-April through October or early November. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially during peak summer months when beaches attract visitors from across New England. Many campgrounds have strict quiet hours and occupancy limits due to the relatively close spacing of sites. While summer temperatures are typically moderate, coastal winds can be strong and mosquitoes are common in wooded areas. As one camper noted, "We'll plan ahead with more bug deterrents because the mosquitos were BAD even with bug spray."

The proximity to Cape Cod National Seashore beaches represents the primary draw for campers in this region. Most North Truro campgrounds feature short walking paths to ocean beaches, with Head of the Meadow Beach being particularly accessible. Several visitors highlight the convenience of staying near both natural attractions and cultural amenities. According to feedback on The Dyrt, "Short walk to a beautiful ocean beach in the National seashore. A short ride to a bike trail. A short drive to the restaurants, sights and entertainment of Provincetown." Fire restrictions vary between properties, with some campgrounds prohibiting fires entirely while others provide fire rings or pits for rent. Family-friendly atmospheres predominate throughout the area, with most campgrounds maintaining clean facilities and offering camp stores for basic supplies.

    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.

    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.
