Nickerson State Park

A nice way to get away from the bustle. The Cape Cod rail trail clips through a corner of the park. There's a variety of camp sites available and a bunch of easy trails around a series of ponds. It's easy to forget these other options on the cape, aside from the beaches.

This is my favorite place to go camping on the Cape. Big sites with space between them so you really feel like you have some room to unfurl with your friends and family. Fire pits allow for campfire cooking and the camp store sells firewood. The best part are the ponds and beaches though. Higgins and Little Cliff are my personal favorites although this can change is water levels rise from flooding or there is abundant algae growth. If you snorkel, there are fish, turtles and frogs or tadpoles to see depending on the time of year you visit.

I stayed there in the summer for a bit. One night it rained about 3 inches of rain, but I don't blame them for the weather. The bathrooms were close, but could use some cleaning up. The whole lake was great. Plenty of beaches to eat lunch at and ducks to feed. It was awesome.

Positives: Wonderful camp ground with potable water strategically placed throughout. Shower stalls and restrooms abundant. Best of all great swimming in several lakes with sand bottoms. Negatives: No hook ups, Price is $22 for Massachusetts residents but $35 for out of state. Outrageous! We we are of state and have traveled 20 States and the most we paid was $30 but we had full hook ups.

Wow! Beautiful park with great amenities. Our site had a great pond view. Fire pits with cooking grates, picnic tables, a bathroom facility with flush toilets, running water, and lights. Adjacent to the cape cod trail for long and safe bike rides.
