The best camping in Cape Cod with swimming

·

In Cape Cod, you’ll find over 1,200 campsites where swimming is front and centre. Ocean beaches, kettle ponds, and quiet inlets set the scene. Average sites run about $60 a night, with some spots dipping down to $45. Top picks like Cozy Wooded Nook (184 reviews), Waterfront cabin 10minutes Cape Cod (54 reviews), and 8 Acres Homestead (50 reviews) come recommended by locals and regulars alike. Expect easy access to swimming, plus campfires, pet-friendly policies, and proper toilets. Fishing and hiking round out the essentials. If diving in after a long hike or floating in a pond sounds like your speed, Cape Cod’s mix of water and woods is hard to beat.
