Sweet little house with a good setup. Felt great to be inside rather than tenting while visiting the area. Outdoor shower and toilet, more comfortable than boon-docking or car camping. Quiet area.

Weekend Trip to Tidy Treehouse
The Tidy Treehouse was perfect for my stay. The hosts were very accommodating. The house was clean, had a bed, refrigerator, and a microwave. It was a tiny space, but I was by myself, so it was more than I really needed. The location was perfect. Very quiet under the trees. I would definitely go back.

The best beach camping in Cape Cod guide
Where to go
Nickerson State Park
About 20 miles east of Cape Cod is Nickerson State Park. It offers hundreds of campsites for tent camping and RVs, plus small and large yurts and amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, restrooms, and hot showers. This 1,900-acre park in Brewster is best known for its clear, sandy-bottomed freshwater kettle ponds, formed by glaciers thousands of years ago. The ponds are excellent spots for swimming and trout fishing. Shoot hoops at the basketball court, explore biking trails through pine and oak forests, and look for yellow warblers, hairy woodpeckers, and red-tailed hawks.
Cape Cod National Seashore
Managed by the National Park Service, Cape Cod National Seashore spans a 40-mile stretch of protected coastline, starting in Eastham and including areas like Wellfleet and Truro. Several beaches dot the coast along Cape Cod Bay, like Corn Hill Beach, Ryder Beach, and Fisher Beach. The protected area also includes forests, ponds, and salt marshes for more nature exploring. While overnight camping on the seashore itself is not permitted, there are nearby camping areas and private RV parks offering wifi and equipment rentals.
Shawme-Crowell State Forest
Near Cape Cod Canal to the west, Shawme-Crowell State Forest in Sandwich offers a quiet family-friendly campground among pitch pine and scrub oak. While RV campsites lack full hookups, campers do have access to an on-site dumping station. Campground amenities include showers, flush toilets, a playground, and picnic tables. Explore over 15 miles of horseback riding and hiking trails, listen for songbirds like the tufted titmouse and northern cardinal, and learn more about local wildlife at the nature center.
Scusset Beach State Reservation
About 25 minutes south of Plymouth, Scusset Beach State Reservation features a campground steps from its namesake beach. Strolling along the 1.5 miles of beachfront, Hipcampers can search for jewelry-grade sea glass to add to their collections. Go swimming in Cape Cod Bay under the eye of on-duty lifeguards from Juneteenth to Labor Day. Enjoy saltwater fishing from the pier, on the long jetty, or at Pip’s Rip, a shallow gravel bar where anglers can wade out in the water. The pet-friendly campground features RV campsites with water and electric hookups, plus tent camping spots for a more rustic feel.
