I loved this location, I’m from the town and did not realize this was available. When I pulled up there were agricultural tours going on but everyone cleared out before sunset and I was able to set up a nice secluded area for my fire, great views over the cranberry bog and located closely to convenience stores

This is a safe and peaceful place to spend some time off grid. Private but close to homes. As a solo traveler I found the security I was looking for with the feel of being on my own. No tables, water, electric…be prepared to rough it, but with views and a great experience.

Weekend Trip to Waterfront cabin 10minutes Cape Cod
Very cute, little lake side cabin, w a nice yard space, hammock, boat access, and fire-pit. Kind and responsive management was very easy to engage w. But, perhaps best of all, was the private sandy beach just steps from the front patio. There is a set of well built outdoor stairs to get down to the cabin, that could present a challenge of accessibility for some individuals. But, if you can do a few stairs, it’s well worth the effort. Great spot to unwind and enjoy the cape from.

Loved this site. Super cute and spacious, also secluded though in Kathleen’s backyard. They did a nice job with the space here. I loved that they provided chairs, hammocks, fire pit, etc. as I was just stopping in and out and didn’t pack a ton of real campy stuff. Super helpful that they allow dogs as I was coming with my puppy for a dog show. You can hear some loud planes, but they never woke me up so I imagine they must not operate that airport at night. 35 minutes to where my show was in the Cape (Falmouth) and super easy to get to!

Overview
About
Camping near Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge promises an experience unlike any other. Have you ever wished for a serene escape where the rhythmic sounds of waves meet the harmonious calls of migratory birds? Monomoy NWR, one of the eight esteemed refuges in the Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife Refuge Complex, offers just that. This refuge stands as a guardian, ensuring the survival of diverse species, from the fascinating horseshoe crabs and swift tiger beetles to the playful gray seals. But what truly sets Monomoy NWR apart is the Monomoy Wilderness. Here, nature remains untouched, allowing you to witness its raw beauty and the resources it generously provides. Stretching for eight miles off Cape Cod's elbow, the barrier islands of North and South Monomoy, accompanied by a myriad of islets and shoals, paint a picturesque landscape. The refuge is a mosaic of habitats, each with its own charm. From the vast expanse of the ocean and the intricate patterns of salt and freshwater marshes to the towering dunes and tranquil freshwater ponds, every corner beckons exploration. For those who crave a blend of adventure and tranquility, a Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge camping trip is the answer. Dive into a world where the wonders of nature await at every turn, and let the magic of the refuge rejuvenate your spirit. So, campers, pack your bags and set your sights on this Cape Cod gem!
When to go
The best time to visit Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge is during the spring and fall migrations, when bird activity is at its peak. Summer offers warm weather and full access to trails, but be mindful of restricted areas for wildlife nesting. Winter visits can be harsh with limited access, making it less ideal for exploration.
Know before you go
- Check for seasonal closures to protect nesting wildlife, particularly from May 1st to September 15th.
- Access to some areas may be by boat only; plan accordingly for a unique adventure.
- Leashed dogs are allowed on Morris Island trails from September 16th to April 30th.
- Remember to bring your binoculars for exceptional birdwatching opportunities.
- Visitor center hours vary by season, so confirm before your trip for the best experience.
