Campground Overview
About Nickerson State Park
What sets Nickerson State Park apart from typical campgrounds is its unique blend of lush pine and oak woodlands, tranquil freshwater kettle ponds, and direct access to Cape Cod's iconic outdoor attractions. This expansive 1,900-acre park in Brewster, Massachusetts, offers a truly immersive camping experience, enhanced by its peaceful atmosphere, well-maintained amenities, and proximity to the Cape Cod Rail Trail.
The campground features over 400 sites, including options for tents, RVs, and even yurts, and they range from secluded wooded spots to those near the clear waters of its ponds. Campers will appreciate the modern facilities, including restrooms with showers, picnic areas, and a dump station. Recreational opportunities abound, from kayaking and swimming in the park's pristine ponds to hiking and biking along its trail network, which connects directly to the 25-mile Cape Cod Rail Trail. Fishing enthusiasts will find the stocked ponds ideal, while families can enjoy sandy beaches with lifeguards available during peak seasons.
Located just minutes from Brewster, Nickerson State Park places campers within a 30-minute drive of charming local beaches like Skaket Beach and Nauset Beach, the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, and Route 6A's quaint shops and eateries. Whether you're here for an adventurous weekend getaway or an extended family vacation, Nickerson offers a serene and activity-filled escape into nature while keeping the heart of Cape Cod within easy reach.
