best tent camping on cape cod image
jlb1016
I'm looking for a nice place to go tent camping with my boyfriend. We don't need a family camp grounds...just something fun for a couple in their mid-twenties.
I'd love to find a place near the Cape or Martha's Vineyard but anywhere nice in Mass would do...
We're looking for a place where we can swim, ride bikes, rent jet ski's or paddle boats, etc. Thanks!
Answer
I you are adventuresome, you can try Nickerson State Park in Brewster.
The adventure part is that as far as I know, they still operate on a first-come, first-served basis (you can't reserve a spot in advance), and people have been known to have to camp in the parking lot for a couple of days before a site became available.
Alternatively, Sweetwater Forrest (also in Brewster) is a family-oriented campground where you can reserve sites in advance.
Both places offer camping, with nearby freshwater ponds. You can swim or ride bikes (there are trails inside Nickerson Park, and the Cape Cod Rail Trail runs by both places). I don't think that power boats of any kind are allowed on the ponds. Its not far from either to one of the many beaches on the Cape - Brewster is on the bay side (the 'quiet' beaches), but its not far to the major ocean beaches.

What are good campgrounds in the MA/NH/RI area?
Q. My friends and I are looking for a place to go tent camping for a weekend. We want to be within about 20-30 minutes of a beach, but also near a forest/state park/mountains (woods less important than beach). The site has to be alcohol friendly and have late quiet time hours. Any ideas would be appreciated
Answer
Any of the larger campgrounds on Cape Cod or just inland from Salisbury Beach, MA/Hampton Beach NH would probably do. (they are right next to each other on the MA - NH line) Try searching for Cape Cod or Coastal MA and NH campgrounds. The state and national park campgrounds are pretty much alcohol free. You won't find any coastal camp grounds that are close to the mountains in southern New England.
