North of Highland Camping Area

Top choice in Cape Cod


Little Truro harbors one of the most secluded campgrounds on all of Cape Cod, with 237 sites spread over 60 pine-fresh acres a short walk from the beach. You don't have to worry about setting up your tent next to an RV – it's tents only. Amenities include metered hot showers, a camp store, a laundry, a rec hall and a kids' playground.

Although it's privately owned (by the same family since 1954) it sits within the National Seashore; a conservation easement was secured in 2010 to restrict real-estate development here.
