Cape Cod National Seashore is bounded by the towns of Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, North Truro, and Provincetown, and the National Park Service has left camping and lodging mainly up to private enterprises outside of the park. However, there are now five rental properties, a hostel, and a hotel within the park that are open seasonally, some managed by the National Park Service and others run by concessionaires. For more information or to make reservations, visit the National Park Service’s Lodging web page for the park.
Those with a self-contained sleeping vehicle and an Off Road Vehicle permit can camp at designated locations on Race Point Beach from July 1st through Labor Day. Space is limited and stay limits apply. For more information, see the National Park Service’s Self-Contained-Vehicle (SCV) Camping in the Off-Road Vehicle Corridor web page for Cape Cod National Seashore.
With a few exceptions, use of any photograph on the National Park Planner website requires a paid Royalty Free Editorial Use License or Commercial Use License. See the Photo Usage page for details.
