Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Provincetown, MA

Coastal Acres Campground's pet-friendly sites accommodate both tent campers and RV owners seeking waterfront access in Provincetown. Located within walking distance of downtown, the campground maintains full hookup amenities for RVs while permitting dogs throughout the property. Dunes' Edge Campground also welcomes pets with specific designated areas for dog walking, though sites are positioned relatively close together with limited privacy between neighbors. Staff members enforce leash requirements in both locations, ensuring comfortable coexistence between pet owners and other guests. Sites at Coastal Acres remain quiet despite proximity to town, with wildlife occasionally wandering through campsites. Both campgrounds maintain clean facilities with regularly serviced restrooms and showers, though Dunes' Edge charges twenty-five cents for three-minute showers.

Several walking paths connect Coastal Acres to downtown Provincetown, allowing campers with dogs convenient access to Commercial Street without moving vehicles. The walkable nature of the area provides excellent exercise opportunities for pets, with the path to town featuring attractive gardens along the route. Adventure Bound Cape Cod and Nickerson State Park Campground offer additional pet-friendly alternatives within driving distance. Shady Knoll Campground in Brewster accepts pets with some restrictions on size and number. During peak summer months, early reservations are essential as pet-friendly sites fill quickly, especially those offering more privacy between neighboring campsites. While camping with dogs, visitors should note that Dunes' Edge Campground prohibits campfires, which may affect evening activities with pets.

    Dunes' Edge Campground - Provincetown Camping

    Nice Camp for Small Rigs

    I wouldn’t try anything longer than 28 feet. My 24 foot class A was a tight fit. Backing a trailer in would be exciting.

    Nice quiet campground 10 min bike ride from Provincetown. Closish to the beach.

    Sites have 20 amp service. Generators not allowed.

    Pinewood Lodge Campground

    Beautiful

    Nice and quiet, here for a 3 night stay. 4 star because there are signs posted No dogs allowed on the road to the beach or other areas in the campground, limits walking. There is a dog park, though.

    Wompatuck State Park Campground

    Great spot with Plenty of History

    We chose this spot for a family weekend. Sites are spacious. Water from nearby facet. Because it was local and had history behind it. Rhe campground is within a state park and is built on a old military base. You can still see some bunkers with their vents all around the campground. Blue Mountain spring water can be found right near campground for some refreshing water. We brought our chow chows and their was a great harbor side dog park a short drive away along with some swimming. I would visit again.

    Atlantic Oaks Campground

    Nice campground

    Fairly large, mostly RV and travel trailer park, we felt right at home in our popup. Check in and out were simple. Sites are large although a little close together. Mostly sandy gravel sites with lots of shade available. There are a few really nice tent sites next to the playground, close to the store, showers, and restrooms.

    Facilities were uncrowded and very clean. Camp store was nice with lots of supplies available. Wonderful playground for the kids, big and small. Great little dog park.

    The location of this campsite is perfect! Short drive to many of the best beaches on the Cape. Lots to do in the immediate area for families, plenary of restaurant options.

    We will definitely return!

    Pinewood Lodge Campground

    Good Spot

    Site was level, staff was awesome. They do have a dog park and plenty of things to do. Didn't like that you have to pay for hot water though.

    Boston/Cape Cod KOA

    Not our favorite KOA

    The sites are pretty close and some are not level. It seems that many sites have more than one vehicle at them, making it more congested. The Highlands area is much quieter. Decent dog park & common play areas (horseshoes, ladder ball, cornhole, basketball). Lots for kids to do. We went to Plimoth Plantation about 20 min away but not much else in the area. Management & employees are friendly & helpful.

    Bay View Campground

    Huge campground chockful of amenities

    General: Over 450 sites (tent 20 amp w/e; 30 amp w/e; 30 amp w/e/s; 50 amp w/e/s; 50 amp w/e; 30, 50 or premium seasonal) 

    Site Quality: Generally good. Sites are gravel. We had originally reserved Site 98 but there was a large rock and tree roots making it challenging to position our van. We were able to move to Site 95 which was much better. Each site has a picnic table and rock firepit. Trees provide some amount of privacy between many sites. 

    Bath/Shower house: Spotlessly clean. The cleaning schedule indicates it is cleaned three times daily. 

    Activities/Amenities:

    *Some are seasonal and were closed when we were there in October. These include three pools, a food truck, coffee, and ice cream.

    * Others include a pristine laundry room (but you have to purchase a laundry card, so one load is a minimum of $10), shuffleboard, playground, tennis/pickleball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoe pit, soccer and baseball fields, firewood and propane fill, free cable and WiFi, dog park. I’ve probably forgotten a few but you get the idea… 

    We chose this campground because of its proximity to the Woods Hole ferry terminal. It is not our typical preferred campground but for one night in the off-season, it was very pleasant. It is billed as a family-friendly campground, and I imagine it would be very different during high season. We gladly forgo seasonal amenities for a quieter stay. The staff was very present and welcoming. Note that it is located on a busy highway and if you are approaching from the south, the turn into the campground is hair-raising! There is some road noise at some sites but not for most of them.

    Marthas Vineyard Family Campground

    Peaceful Stay on Martha’s Vineyard

    Great stay at the only campground on Martha’s Vineyard! Immaculate tent sites as well as bath houses, very clean shower and toilet facilities. Camp store is well stocked, including fire wood, and staying here you are close to all of the quaint MV towns…..whether by car, bike rental, or the island bus line that goes by the camp entrance. The ferry to Nantucket is only a few minutes away too for a day excursion! Very personable staff…..be sure to make at least a few minutes each day to pet the campground dogs!!
