The Martha’s Vineyard Family Campground began as a vacant wooded lot in 1968. The land was purchased by Charles and Jeanne Feeney from a retired doctor living in Vineyard Haven. Charles “Chuck” Feeney was an aerospace engineer at the time and was always taking his kids camping. His dream was to have a place for the family to camp and call their own. So together with his wife and five children he converted a bus into a camper and carved out a site amongst the wild blueberry bushes and scrub oak trees. Our family fell in love with the island. We discovered all the island has to offer and found it irresistible. We were the tourists of yesteryear and what attracted our family back then still exists today: beautiful beaches, fabulous fishing, quaint villages, and amazing sunsets. From the rolling hills of Aquinnah to the dunes of Katama, there is no place on earth like it. Martha’s Vineyard When Chuck found out his job was relocating him to California, he made the bold move to make his family campsite and land available to you. With a lot of hard work and great family pride, the construction of Martha’s Vineyard Family Campground began. During the first few summers of construction, we lived in the converted bus and tents. Slowly the sites and the roads were carved out. Summer vacations meant clearing land and pouring cement. The campground was officially opened in the spring of 1972 and has been a family-run operation ever since. Today the campground is managed by a third generation of The Feeney Family. The goal has always been to provide a quality camping experience for families who wish to visit this wonderful island. If there is anything that we can do to enhance that experience for you, please let us know.

The best camping in Cape Cod National Seashore, MA guide

Overview

About

Step away from the bustle of everyday life with a relaxing journey to this national seashore. The sheer beauty of the coastline as you will help you unwind. You can even take your dog with you after the high tourist season has ended. Crowds are minimal in the spring and fall. On some beaches, you can walk for more than a mile and not see another person.

Keep your eyes open for seals playing in the surf and whales spouting off a little further out to sea. Each of the beaches and vantage points along this national seashore has its own own personality, and you'll quickly come to choose your favorites. Cahoon Hollow, Race Point, or one of the many lighthouses? You decide.

A great way to explore the seashore is to start at the Salt Pond Visitor Center (doing all the Junior Ranger activities if you have kids with you). Then head in the direction of Provincetown, where you can have dinner at the end of your adventure. If you're pressed for time, even the drive along the seashore will lighten your spirits.

Waterfront glamping along the Cape Cod coastline is ready and waiting for you courtesy of Hipcamp. Find campsites in state parks or on rustic farms, or rent a charming cottage for your stay.
