My girlfriend and I are looking to do some camping on cape cod or the vineyard this summer, but all the campgrounds we've been finding on the internet look expensive and require reservations far in advance. Are there any campgrounds on cape cod or the vineyard, preferably on or near the beach, that are inexpensive and/or don't require reservations months ahead of time? How about state parks? Thanks.


Answer
Nickerson State Park offers camping
http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/southeast/nick.htm
You do need reservations, but it is inexpensive
http://www.mass.gov/dcr/recreate/camping.htm
from the website
Reserve A Campsite

Advanced reservations are available for 28 state forests and park campgrounds. To make a reservation:

o call toll-free 1-877-I-CAMP-MA or 1-877-422-6762

o from outside the U.S. and Canada, call 518-884-4959 (long distance charges apply)

o TTY customers call 1-877-620-0833

o place your reservation online through ReserveAmerica.com


Reservations may be made as early as six months prior to the date of arrival, and as late as one day prior to arrival. Customers may make camping reservations for several dates at one time. However, reservations are limited to 14 cumulative days in any one park between Memorial Day and Labor Day. There is a 2 day minimum on most reservations. Customers must be 18 years or older to make a reservation. ID is required upon registration at the campground.


The call center is open Monday through Sunday 8 am to 8 pm between April and Labor Day. Between September and March, the call center is open Mon through Friday 9 am to 7 pm and 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday.


Credit card payments are accepted. With personal check or money order transactions, full payment is required within ten (10) days of making the reservation. The reservation transaction charge is $9.25 per reservation.

Campground Reservation Transaction Charge as of January 4, 2007

Beginning January 4, 2007 customers making advanced reservations will be charged a transaction charge of $9.25 per reservation. This charge is non-refundable. Reservation services for DCR camping are provided by ReserveAmerica (877-422-6762.)

The $9.25 reservation transaction charge is in addition to the campsite fee. For example:

A customer makes 1 reservation for 2 nights camping.
1 reservation for 2 nights camping = $20
Reservation transaction charge = $9.25
Total paid by customer = $29.25

A customer makes 2 reservations for 2 nights camping.
1 reservation for 2 nights camping = $20
Reservation transaction charge = $9.25
1 reservation for 2 nights camping = $20
Reservation transaction charge = $9.25
Total paid by customer = $58.50

Over the past few years customer response to the camping reservation system has been overwhelmingly positive. Campers appreciate the benefits, value, convenience and quality customer service that the system provides. Most notably the reservation system offers:

* The assurance of a specific site waiting for a customer upon arrival, the negation of long waiting lines at the campgrounds on weekends
*

The option to use or not use the service is up to the customer (first come/first serve camping is available when campsites are not reserved)
*

A centralized service (one telephone number) to make camping reservations, one can call 877-422-6762 from anywhere in North America
*

No long distance telephone call charges to make reservations or to contact customer service
*

Internet Service for placing reservations, viewing availability, checking on site placements in the campgrounds and the specific amenities available for each location
*

Trained reservation agents to assist in the process of finding a suitable site in a campground
*

Referral service if the desired campground is full
*

A trained customer service organization to help resolve any issues with reservations
*

A completely integrated computerized campground management system to assist first come/first serve customers in finding a site
*

A rapid check-in process at campgrounds for our first come/first serve customers, as well as our reservation customers.

Comments or questions regarding the $9.25 reservation transaction charge may be addressed to (617) 626-1480. Thank you for your support of public campgrounds. We look forward to serving you at a MA State Park.

Brings be back to the good old days growing up and Dad and Mom packed up all 10 of us kids and off we went for 2 weeks each year to Cape Cod Camping.Same camp ground for many years.Browns Camp Ground!!!.And still there today!!
We had a camper and Tents!!!
We had two camping spaces and they were large too!!
I have 9 Brothers so you can just imagine the fun we all had.And we really did!!!!!!
We did all the fun stuff.Going to the Beach the Camp Ground had a great big Lake and we spent most of our days there
The place had things going on for kids to do day and night.They had games to play and Dances on Friday and Sat Nights for everyone..We rode to the Sand Dunes and rode Dune Buggies and that was a ball
But now that I am older I don't go but I went this year with my Daughter and her Family
She has a fifth wheel trailer and what a nice one too
I told her that's not camping.We went camping!!!!
I was just funing her because we had a great time but boy she had flat screen TVs and Blue Ray and what a Sound System in that thing too!!!
We rocked the place after we built a great big fire and had a few beers.That's Camping!!!!
