While beach camping directly on the sand is not allowed in Cape Cod, there are several campgrounds close to the beach. One popular option is Nickerson State Park, which offers campsites near freshwater ponds and is a short drive from the Cape Cod National Seashore beaches. Another option is Scusset Beach State Reservation, where you can camp near the beach with easy access to both Cape Cod Bay and the Cape Cod Canal.
