From jct US-6 & Head of the Meadow Rd: Go 3/4 mi E on Head of the Meadow Rd.
For the second straight summer we camped at North of Highland. We can not say enough about how peaceful this campground is and how much we enjoy it's proximity to the ocean. Above all we appreciate the quiet, and the tone that the management sets. It is very clean and neat. The sites are set among pine trees and offer plenty of shade. We have been going to the Cape for years. We appreciate it whenever we stumble upon a family run operation with a clear stake and commitment to the operation and this ranks among the best on the Cape.
My wife and I stayed here for a week to explore properties in the area and enjoy the beaches. The management here is incredible. Upon arrival Robert, in the front office had taken the time to thoroughly explain the park rules and attractions. He worked with us to make sure we got the site that we were looking for. This gentleman was a breathe of fresh air with his kindness and big smile you could still see under his mask. The restrooms were cleaned twice a day with pressure washers and disinfectors. The walk to Head of the Meadow beach was only about 8 minutes through a gorgeous scotch bonnet pine forest. If you haven't stayed here yet... Do it!
Absolutely best camping on the Cape. Kind staff. Great instructions for rules to keep it friendly, quiet and safe for all. Clean bathrooms and showers...still 25 cents for 7 minutes of hot water. Walking distance to Head of the Meadow beach. And the sites are generously spaced and beautifully wooded.

I have been coming here since I was a toddler (and my mother since she was a teen. She's in her 60s now, for context). We love this place. Warm and friendly and easy to stay. Feels like home.
Facilities and amenities are perfect for a Cape campground, clean, functional, and just rustic enough. The access to Head of the Meadow beach is awesome and could save you $100/week on a beach sticker if you're willing to walk/bike and pack light. They've also done a nice job adapting to the modern world and designated their Quiet Room to a bank of charging outlets for all of your various devices. Feels a little weird at first, leaving your phone in a room alone for a few hours, but I've never known of any issues. Everyone is super respectful.
Important to note that quiet hours are from 10:30pm-7:30am which is a little tricky with very young children. Our 2yo did okay with the minimal noise around our area after her bedtime at 8ish but we were glad we brought a portable white noise machine. And it was tricky to keep her quiet before 7:30 when she wakes up sometimes at 6...but easy enough to solve by taking a walk or ride to the beach for breakfast 😉
Clean grounds, nice camp store, although the hours are a little tricky as they are closed for several hours in the middle of the day. They have nice showers for a quarter and a big recreation hall with pool, ping-pong and Foosball tables as well as a fireplace. The drinking water is excellent and it's perfectly located close to the beach and lively Provincetown. Our family has camping there for over 20 years and we love it!
