The best camping near Scusset Beach State Reservation guide

Overview

About

Looking for the perfect beachy paradise to park your trailer, grill some burgers, and watch the fireworks spark? Scusset Beach State Reservation is a classic family recreation area that is located at the gateway of Cape Cod. The area offers a popular fishing pier, a quintessential soft sandy dune beach, swimming, picnicking, and nearby walking and biking on the Cape Cod Canal. It’s the perfect spot to pull out your lounge chairs and watch the plovers scurry along the shoreline. If you are coming from Boston or the South Shore, it’s a great way to get to the Cape without committing to all the traffic! Once you are here, you can comb the beach for clams, crabs, seashells, or sand dollars (the regional currency). It’s places like these that make New England winters a little more bearable!
