The best camping near Nickerson State Park guide

Overview

About

More than 2,000 acres of lush woodlands and oak forests dotted with “kettle ponds” await at Nickerson State Park—a welcome change of scenery amid Cape Cod’s sand dunes and salt marshes. Hit the trails to hike and bike, then head down to the water to fish for trout, cool off with a swim, or rent a kayak. To the north end, the 22-mile, multi-use Cape Cod Rail Trail runs through the park, and a sandy beach tempts sunseekers to the coast. Nickerson State Campground has plenty of space, with tent and RV sites, as well as yurts, but no electric hookups.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve 418 campsites, including six yurts, via the Reserve America website. 
  2. Online reservations open four months in advance, and campsites must be booked at least one day in advance.
  3. Campsites can book up fast, especially for summer and holiday weekends, so book as soon as possible, especially if you have a particular site in mind.

When to go

Camping season in Nickerson State Park runs from mid-April through mid-October only. This is by far the most popular time to visit, and coincides with whale-watching season along the coast. Winter visitors can still enjoy outdoor activities, with the inland trails providing shelter from the chilly coastal winds, and the ponds are stocked with trout year-round.

  • Daily parking fees are charged from Memorial Day weekend through November. Campsite booking fees also apply.
  • Facilities at Nickerson State Park include a nature center, a park store, picnic areas, boat ramps, restrooms, a dump station, and a playground. 
  • You can bring your own boats up to 10 horsepower to the park; boat and watercraft rentals are also available throughout the summer season.
  • There are accessible campsites, restrooms, and beaches at Nickerson State Park. The Cape Cod Rail Trail is also accessible.
