What Sets North of Highland Apart from Other Cape Cod Camping Areas?

If you enjoy the outdoors, beaches and camping Cape Cod is an excellent vacation destination for you and your family to consider.  Once you have decided to come camping on Cape Cod you will find that there are a number of fine Cape Cod campgrounds to choose from including our own.

There are a number of differences between many of these campgrounds, so we will attempt to help differentiate what we feel helps set North of Highland apart from the others. Although none of the Cape Cod camping locations is perfect at everything, we feel that North of Highland Camping Area provides the best overall combination of features that we would most like to find wherever we stay.  Hopefully you will agree, but ultimately whether North of Highland is the best fit for you will depend a lot on what you are looking for in your vacation destination.  So with this in mind, here are a few of the campground features and factors that we hope you will consider important…

The Natural Beauty of the Campground: We work hard to keep our campground clean, natural and beautiful.  Our staff actively picks up our campground each and every day, and our cleaning crews work hard to try to keep our restrooms, showers, laundry and our recreation facilities clean and tidy so they are ready for you throughout the day and evenings.  Again please know we are not always perfect in this regard, but be confident that we are always giving our best effort to serve you.

Of course it also helps that our campground and our 237 campsites are spread across nearly 60 acres of Cape Cod pine forest and that the Cape Cod National Seashore Park is completely surrounding our property.  Additionally most of our campsites and roads are designed to accommodate tents or small tent trailers, not large RVs.  The result is our distinctive North of Highland look and the natural beauty that is certainly part of our charm.

Convenient Location: We are located within just a short 1/2 mile walk from amazing Head of the Meadow Beach and from Head of the Meadow Bike Trail and only a couple of minutes by car from several attractive bayside beaches too.  Meanwhile we are still only about 10 minutes by car from neighboring Cape towns of Provincetown and Wellfleet.  So unique shops and a great variety of dining options and art galleries and other sights are all very close by.

Quiet & Peaceful Environment:  We take pride in providing a relaxing camping environment for all of our guests.  Until you have stayed with us, or somewhere else, this feature might be a bit tougher to evaluate.  However there are a few things that we do differently than most, that we believe  creates a more relaxing and peaceful vacation for our guests. We more strictly enforce our campground evening Quiet Hours from 10:30 PM to 7:30 AM than some of the other campgrounds on the Cape and we also ask that radios or televisions be kept at reasonable levels during the daytime as well, so that you are undisturbed by your neighbors.  What does this mean for you?  Well if you are a large group of young adults looking to party on Cape Cod for the weekend, then North of Highland is definitely not going to be the best place for you.  Instead, if you are coming to Cape Cod to enjoy the beaches and want to be able to sleep peacefully at night while camping under Cape Cod’s amazing display of stars, then you should really come check us out.

With your rest and relaxation in mind, we also do NOT ALLOW our guests to have pets or motor cycles in the campground, or to run portable generators.  It is not that we don’t like animals or bikers, but instead we want our guests to enjoy the peace and tranquility of Cape Cod without hearing dogs barking all day or night.  If you have ever camped next to someone who has left their dog tied up at their campsite while they went to the beach for the day, you will totally understand.  If you do have pets, we hope a great friend at home will offer to carefully look after them for the week, so that you can come join us, treating yourself to a little extra rest and relaxation.  If, however, dogs or motorcycles are simply necessities to bring with you on your vacation, and if you don’t mind having your camping neighbors bringing theirs too, then we would suggest you might consider Nickerson State Park or Adventure Bound, or one of the other Cape Cod camping areas that allow them.

With our popular playground, our large recreation center with ping-pong and pool tables, and our walking path to the beach, North of Highland is the ideal camping destination for families with kids as well as adults just looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of Cape Cod. We are proud that many of our camping guests are long-term customers who come back and stay with us each and every year; and we consider many of you to be our friends.  If you have not stayed with us yet, then we look forward to meeting you and hope you’ll soon join our list of satisfied clients.

We hope that after considering which features are most important to you in choosing between Cape Cod campgrounds, that you will decide to come stay with us at North of Highland Camping Area.
