With over 100 spots to pitch your tent, this beachy campground is one of the most popular oceanside camping sites in the state. However, this doesn’t mean it’s crowded. There are over 600 acres of barrier beach and lush wilderness to explore at this reservation. You’ll be treated to stunning views of Buzzards Bay as you explore over two miles of pristine beach.

The scenery at this location makes it a camping destination like no other. You can emerge from your tent in the morning to see a spectacular sunrise spread over the glittering waves, or roast marshmallows around the campfire with a view of the moonlight painting the sea beyond the dunes. The beach is breezy all year, so you’ll find relief here from boiling inland temperatures. The salty air and calls of the seagulls will completely relax you.

Amenities here include a full comfort station with flush toilets and hot showers. Each individual campsite is equipped with a picnic table and a grill, so you can cook dinner right on the beach.
