Best Campgrounds near Sagamore, MA

501 Reviews

Sagamore, Massachusetts provides several campground options along the coast of Cape Cod Bay and near the Cape Cod Canal. Scusset Beach State Reservation sits directly on the waterfront, offering RV sites with electric, water, and sewer hookups, plus a limited number of tent sites. Additional camping areas include Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground, which features tent sites, RV spots, and even yurts set among pine forests. Bourne Scenic Park and Bay View Campground provide cabin accommodations alongside traditional camping options. Most campgrounds in this region maintain facilities for both primitive camping and sites with various hookup levels.

Campground availability typically runs from May through October, with some locations like Shawme Crowell remaining open year-round. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when Cape Cod becomes a popular destination. "The campground is within driving distance of great fishing, biking and tourist areas," noted one visitor about Shawme Crowell. Several campgrounds feature paved parking pads for RVs, though tent sites may have more variable terrain with pine needle floors. The Cape Cod Canal Bikeway passes near multiple camping areas, providing recreational opportunities beyond the campgrounds themselves. Weather conditions can be windy along the coast, particularly at exposed sites like Scusset Beach, and highway noise may be audible at campgrounds near major roads.

The Cape Cod region's campgrounds tend to fill quickly during peak summer season. Campers highlight the beach access at Scusset Beach State Reservation as a major draw. "The beach is clean, with beautiful, white, rock-free sand," shared one reviewer, who also noted it was "not nearly as crowded as a majority of the nearby Cape beaches." Privacy levels vary significantly between campgrounds, with Shawme Crowell offering more secluded, wooded sites compared to the more open, parking lot-style arrangement at Scusset Beach. Many campers use these campgrounds as a base for exploring Cape Cod attractions without having to cross the often-congested Sagamore Bridge during peak season. Family-friendly amenities like playgrounds are available at several locations, though bathroom and shower facilities receive mixed reviews for cleanliness and availability.

    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.

    Normandy Farms Campground

    Repeat customer and I sure hope we can again!

    We were here a couple years ago and told everyone we knew about it in the PNW never knowing if our big road trips would have us near Foxboro again. Imagine our surprise and delight when our quest to hit all the MLB parks showed Normandy as proximal to Fenway. Yahoo! Red Sox win and we get to be here again. Kids and adults alike love it. What’s not to love. It’s the kind of place summer camping trip memories are made of. 4 pools, fishing pond, lodge, trivia night, soccer, baseball, softball and frisbee golf and so much more. Full hook ups. Super long sites.
