I just love camping! It’s like entering a whole new world where everybody is so friendly, welcoming and willing to help you! It’s as if you pull your car or RV back in time, where people were disconnected from technology, distractions and the simple life and family time is all that matters!
We caught heavy traffic getting to the Cape, but I couldn’t come in without stopping to smell the ocean air, to feel the breeze and that feeling that only the Cape gives us!
Even though the office was closed, the staff from Atlantic Oaks Campground in Eastham, Ma left all my paperwork taped to the office door! After a long day traveling in the Winnebago Minnie Winnie, that was a great start to a great visit in the Cape!
Our site was super easy to pull into and hook ups as well!
The campground is surrounded by a walk/bike trail, miles and miles of beauty waiting to be explored!
On our first day, we asked the front desk for a local beach and they suggested Coast Guard Beach!
There’s so much to do and explore in the Cape area, you won’t believe it!
We took the trail, about a 2.5 mile walk, enjoying the beautiful nature and flowers and arrived at Coast Guard beach!
Locals told us it is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the USA! Now I know why!
The beach area has restrooms, water fountains and showers if you need! We spent the day there! On our walk back, we stopped to check out the National Cape Cod Museum.
The campground is so perfect for spending time enjoying nature, birds and calm life! We made some friends right away and every night we would enjoy the stop by visits! The Campground is super pet friendly and it has a pet park as well! We missed our furry babies while we were there!
Exploring Atlantic Oaks Campground
Here are some of the amenities! This is what we loved about it:
Fun Photo Op Location!
Local Store
Great local store which sells basically everything and the staff is very friendly and welcoming!
Basketball Hoop
They have a Basketball Hoop, which made hubby and son very happy!
Showers conveniently located
Wide Roads
Wide roads which allowed us to have space to play near our RV! My son and I played several games!
Large Camp site which allowed us to have room to enjoy it, even though we had a 36′ RV!
Firepit
We truly enjoyed cooking homemade meals over the fire! Nothing better than the campground food!
I will be sharing the three recipes I made there, including my famous homemade burgers in another post!
There’s a local breakfast restaurant within walking distance, but it wasn’t open until later in the summer. I was actually glad, because it gave us the opportunity to cook almost every night! I loooove watching the wood burning and the aroma of the food which has a unique taste! It’s camping at its best!
Welcome to P-Town!
Our second day was spent in Provincetown, a nearby town, full of charm! My brother in law took us there to spend the day enjoying the ocean, amazing seafood, the best cranberry muffins ever and all the beauty the “P-Town” as they call it, has for you!
Breakfast at the Wired Puppy was delish!!!
It was great seeing the locals stop by for a cup of coffee and their famous cranberry muffins! The best muffin I’ve ever had!
A walk on the pier reminded my why I love the Cape so much!
A lobster Roll at the Lobster Pot was in order for dinner! Sooooo good!
Our last day was a bit chilly, so we stayed in the campground! We chilled a bit, get it??!
My boys had a blast at the game room:
We ended the day with a campfire and my fruit S’mores which I make with different types of fruits and three different chocolate varieties ! We loved sharing memories of our great time in the Cape!
This is what we missed:
A pool
The fact that we had a large RV and no vehicle to move around, left us with little options as far as campground entertainment and transportation to explore the area. We really missed having the pool as a way to just hang out and stay in the campground, but have something fun to do as well.
Transportation
The Bus stop is at a nearby hotel, but we need to cross a very busy and dangerous road to get there, so we didn’t venture that. A bus stop at or inside the campground is something they should really look into. It’s a convenience most campers want, when they bring large RVs like ours.
Activities
There were no evening activities for families, I asked the manager and she said they normally don’t do it, since there’s so much to do around there! We didn’t really see small children there, more of an older couple, adults camp.
However, if you are just friends or a young couple, you might not have problems with recreational activities. You can build a campfire, have some music and drinks and create an enjoyable evening. Few people tend to get nervous and anxious in camps, they might want to try something like weed (only if it’s legal in your area!). You can search online โ Mr Weed Near Me.
Children’s Area
The playground is beautiful but it is in an unusual area, facing the busy road near the vehicle entrance to the campground.
You might want to rethink if you are in a Large RV and are not towing a vehicle to move around and/or if you want to enjoy the campground life and you have little ones.
The campground is the perfect option, if you have a car to explore the area, which is absolutely gorgeous or if you just want to come and relax (and you can even bring your pets)!
If you are looking for a quiet place to rest, while camping, just a couple miles from gorgeous beaches, this is the place to be!
I can’t wait to hear what you think about our trip, as usual, give us a Trendy Shout!
i love cape cod. my friend has a home on the lake. Such a small island with so much to do and you feel like you’re escaping to a paradise.
WOW! What an amazing place to be. Love to visit this too pretty soon!
The beaches look so incredible, and I think camping would be a fabulous way to see Cape Cod,
The pictures are amazing. Looks like you guys had a great time camping. Will keep it on my list
This looks amazing, what a beautiful place!!
Sounds like you had a super fun camping trip. I never got a chance to travel with an RV that must of been really fun!
This looks like a beautiful campground. It makes me miss my childhood days. My parents had a pop-up tent (trailer) and we always took it camping. I really wanted to do this with my children but the cards just didn’t play out in my favor. But that is okay.
What an amazing looking place to spend some time, your dogs are beautiful and it looks like there is so much to do in the Cape Cod area.
This looks like a lovely little resort. We just spent the last two months camping, so we are a little put off at the moment, but that beach is beautiful.
Cape cod looks like a beautiful place to go camping! That Lobster roll looks super tasty. I would love to go and camp and try the food!
Wow! Such beautiful views! I can’t wait to visit Cape Cod myself!
RVing is on our bucket list. We also love the beach, so I can definitely see the appeal to camping and staying close by. Looks like a relaxing trip.
Love it! It’s beautiful out there and it’s a nice place to take the family to especially if you want to spend more time together. It’s quiet but it’s also so much fun!
I think an RV trip would be so much fun for my family! They do not leave the house due to an illness but this might feel like traveling with a house around you.
We have been to Cape Cod since we live near it in MA. Looks like you hit all the tasty spots, and got to see some local attractions.
The lobster rolls and the smores are making me hungry. I really miss going on camping things when I was a kid. We had a camper and would go out on trips. I know my daughter would enjoy that. I really need to think about investing in one before my daughter gets too old to want to go.
Cape Cod is such a beautiful place. I have never been camping there though. Maybe next time we vacation in the area.
I soo love the beach! I wish i could go there this weekend. Wow.. i think no dull moments here.
I grew up camping, and still love it. Cape Cod would be such a lovely place to reconnect with nature and my family.
Camping in Cape Cod is one of our family goals. It always looks so beautiful and peaceful. I can’t wait for next summer!
I love that campground is surrounded by a walk/bike trail. ALso the fact that the national seashore is so close is really something. The town looks so adorable. What a fun family time.
It’s been ages since we last went camping. Cape Cod seems like a nice place to go.
I’ve always wanted to visit cape cod! Your trip looks lovely.
I am so not a camper, but I totally want to go to Cape Cod. The area looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous!
I’ve heard of Cape Cod before. I bet it’s a wonderful place for camping. It sure looks like a lot of fun.
Looks like you all had a fantastic time on your trip! I would love to plan something like this for my family! I know my girls and hubby would love it!
I have always wanted to visit Cape Cod. It would be fun to go camping there!
Cape Cod is beautiful. What a fun place to camp. Love that there’s trails and all kinds of places and things to explore.
I have never been there before. It looks like a great family spot! My daughter has been dying to go camping again!
That looks like a great place to camp for people who want some amenities too. And that lobster roll, yum!
We love to camp out. I want to visit Cape Cod at some point but just have not made it that far East yet!
I have never been to Cape Cod. Coast Guard Beach looks like it was beautiful. Sounds like a nice campground too.
We haven’t been camping in so long, but it can be so relaxing. I”d love to visit the northeast!
I haven’t been to Cape Cod, in forever it feels like. You get the best of both worlds, beach and woods, looks like an amazing and fun time!
Cape Cod is absolutely stunning! And I love that the front desk had such great recommendations. That beach looks amazing. ?
I love camping and have done plenty of it at the cape and the area around it. I was camping there during a major store – the same storm reference in the book/movie THE PERFECT STORM. It was really scary, but my favorite camping trip ever.
My husband wants to rent an RV. I am not so sure that I want to go as I hate traveling by car and camping.
That lobster Roll looks so delicious. I have always wanted to rent an RV and go on a trip with the kids. Atlantic Oaks Campground looks like a perfect getaway. It is so nice they taped your papers to the door when they closed so you were able to get settled in right away.
This looks like such a fun and beautiful place to stay! We only visited the very start of cape cod – we went to Sandwich and got a photo in front of the Sandwich Police sign hahaha. I’d love to go back one day!
Cape Cod looks so beautiful! My husband and I plan to get an RV someday and do more camping and traveling. I have always wanted to visit this area!
I’ve never camped in Cape Cod but I have family who lives there and it’s always a great vacation. I can’t get enough of the people or the scenery!
I love the Cape Cod area but we’ve never camped there. Luckily, our camper is a pull-behind, so we always have alternate transportation. We find that makes a huge difference in our camping experiences.
I have to admit, camping is not something I really like. I need the comfort of a bed ahah. However, I have been in Cape Cod and absolutely loved it! The food in your pictures looks amazing!
I would love to explore place like this. I have never been to that part of the United States and I know it is beautiful. Hopefully one day we can get there.
Cape Cod is such a beautiful area. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another area that’s so full of natural beauty.
This looks like such a beautiful place. I truly hope to visit sometime.
I’d love to go camping in Cape Cod. It’s such a beautiful area. Between the beaches and the woods, it’s absolutely stunning.
