A nearly 60-acre, privately run tent campground tucked in pitch pine woods and surrounded on all sides by Cape Cod National Seashore, family-owned by the Currier family since 1954. It's built for tent campers rather than big rigs, with narrow roads, no hookups, and a wooded path leading to Head of the Meadow Beach in under ten minutes on foot.

Common questions
