Tent campers, RV-ers, and yurt lovers will all find the perfect spot here for their next Massachusetts adventure. Experienced Nickerson campers recommend getting a reservation early for peak summer months as these high-demand spots are snatched up quickly.
Situated near the National Seashore, Nickerson’s beachy environment welcomes campers who are looking for a unique experience. The park’s location in Cape Cod contributes to its popularity thanks to access to iconic lighthouses, sport fishing, some of the country’s tastiest seafood, and more! Make your way throughout the park and the cape by biking the scenic 22-mile Cape Cod Rail Trail. Enjoy views of white pines and spruce trees, cedar swamps, and countless kettle ponds along the way.
So bring your bike, kayak, and lots of bug spray – you’re about to have a good time.
Been going here since I was a kid. The park has a made a lot of improvements over the years and I’ll continue to go here as an adult. Bathrooms are clean and showers are hot! The lakes are some of the best in the state
Been coming to the Cape for years. Some years we camped here, some years came to the beach to swim. Always a pleasant experience. This time dipped our toes for old times sake. Love this place.
This place is huge. Great place to bring bikes and floats. We stayed in area 6 and spent most of our time at the pond swimming. It was just a short hike down some stairs, 3 to 5 minutes. We rode our bikes to the playground and camp store for ice cream. Reasonably priced items. There was a little of everything you might need. I may have been oblivious, but I wished the paths to swimming/ swimming areas were marked better. We had to ask another camper, and they were uncertain of other areas. So we kept going to the same spot they told us about. We had a great time.
