We loved our stay at Nickerson! We had a group site in area 3. Site 102 was really nice and flat with a mixture of shade and sun. We had room for 4 tents and a screen room. We appreciated it having three picnic tables. There was a great spot for our hammock. Flax pond was beautiful and clean. Despite having a lot of activity on the pond, it never felt crowded. We brought our bikes, which is a must in this area. The biking was a lot of fun and we had everybody doing it from age eight and up. I can't wait to book again for next summer!

Nickerson State Park ... what a dreamy place. It's been our second year pitching a tent in August and I cannot express adequately how peaceful and quiet it feels despite full occupancy. Where else on Cape Cod do you get that in the middle of summer? The ponds are the centerpiece, whether you're swimming, paddling or sailing. The water temperatures are moderate compared to the ocean, great for kids. The scent of pine trees and sweet pepperbush is natural aromatherapy and incredibly soothing. Hiking and bicycling trails are fabulous and well maintained. The park offers programming (kids, education, nature) you should consider making use of. Be sure to get your reservation in time, it fills fast!

Very nice place and if you're a resident of Massachusetts it's only $22 a night. Some sites larger than others, some sites clear than others, some sites are more level than others. If you plan on bringing a camper bring some leveling blocks you never know if you're going to get a completely flat sight but for the most part it always works out. Constant supervision by the rangers. They are always available. Fairly strict on who can come in and come out. Really nice hiking biking swimming. Multiple kettle ponds. Very clear and clean water Sandy beaches.

Nice campground ⛺️ just watch out for ticks. Be prepared with deet, and permethrin. The ponds are very nice with warm and clear water in the summer. The showers have warm water.

We chose to go camping here on a Sunday evening and reserved Area 2, which is right next to the large and peaceful Flax Pond. It was just a two-minute walk from our individual tent site down a quiet path to the water. At the lakeside, you can enjoy paddleboarding or kayaking, with rentals available on-site. The camping atmosphere was wonderful—very quiet at night, with clear views of the stars and even the Milky Way. It was an unforgettable experience, and we’re already thinking about coming back.
