1 night at Cape Cod Cranberry Farm

I loved this location, I’m from the town and did not realize this was available. When I pulled up there were agricultural tours going on but everyone cleared out before sunset and I was able to set up a nice secluded area for my fire, great views over the cranberry bog and located closely to convenience stores

Weekend Trip to Cape Cod Cranberry Farm

This is a safe and peaceful place to spend some time off grid. Private but close to homes. As a solo traveler I found the security I was looking for with the feel of being on my own. No tables, water, electric…be prepared to rough it, but with views and a great experience.

Lovely quaint spot for a smaller RV. Even though somewhat close to the house is very private by the bushes she has planted. She is an excellent host with good communication and very pleasant to deal with, we love staying there.

Greatttt stay! This host has put a lot of thought into making her place comfy and cozy. When you travel solo, it's really important to be somewhere that feels safe. I not only felt safe, but completely pampered! Shower, toilet, picnic table and another table and chair area under the trees... all nicely decorated! She met me just minutes after I drove up. Provided me with all kinds of maps and info regarding the area. Could not be better!

Lovely spot. Very private and quiet. Make sure to try Sanette’s home made jam sold at her farm stand. Will definitely be going back because the Cape is amazing and this spot is great.

Kelley's Corner was just what we needed for our whirlwind trip to the Cape. It was close to everything, including a bike trail if you decide to bring or rent bikes for your time here. The outside shower was necessary after a long hot day at the beach and the peaceful atmosphere around the site was calming to fall asleep to. She communicated throughout and was very responsive to any questions I had. Great stay!

Weekend Trip to Kelley’s corner

The campsite we arrived to at Sanette’s had everything we needed: a private, shady, and thoughtfully designed space to relax and sleep peacefully! We loved admiring Sanette’s garden next to our site and appreciated the helpful tips, maps, and resources she graciously provided us when we rolled in. Setting up camp was easy and the facilities were clean and comforting. Thank you again for welcoming us, Sanette!

Sanette's site was a lovely and tucked away spot. It was a great home base for our quick weekend trip. There was a minor issue with the water but Sanette quickly remedied the situation and even gave us some fresh veggies from the garden as an apology. Highly recommend!!

The cabin is quite cute, and though small, it has a snug feel to it. We had beautiful weather all week which came in clutch as we used the porch as an outdoor kitchen which made the cabin inside feel more spacious. There are some sweet trees before the cabin, perfect for a hammock setup and a clothes line. And the proximity to the beach was ideal for a morning or evening walk or quick bike ride. The outdoor shower is lovely and the outhouse was clean. Though a note about both of these - there are restricted times the shower is accessible and you are expected to bag up your own poop and take it to a trash can when you leave. Both of these expectations were a bit of a surprise to us and would have been helpful knowing beforehand. Overall, I would stay again.

What a beautiful, quiet location. Very neat area and history. Plenty of wildlife from momma turkey and babies, deer, fox and lots of birds. Beautiful breeze through the bog added to good sleeping conditions. Will be back!
