Great camping experience in a huge forest! Staff was SUPER accommodating! (We love Charlie). ❤️ Bath house was clean & well maintained.

Very private campground. You will hear the highway at night, which doesn't bother me. I love staying here but I wish they would update their older bathrooms. The staff here are awesome.

Finally pulled in here, just for a short dog walk in the woods. The ranger at the gate was extremely welcoming and eager to help. The grounds were in great condition, and we had a nice walk on some single track. I'll definitely check it out again.

My favorite campground on the cape. Huge area and lots of nice sites. Close enough to grocery stores for easy resupply. Location is perfect as basecamp to do some in-depth cape exploration, but is nice enough that spending your days relaxing at the campground is lovely in and of itself. Do a little research on the sites. There are many which are tucked away in little nooks that make it feel like you're by yourself. Most of area 1 is bordered by a green buffer that gives a nice feeling of isolation. Depending on what time of year and what time of the week you go, be prepared for terrible cape traffic. If you go early spring or fall, your chances of avoiding traffic are much better. Also, avoid holidays if at all possible.
