North of Highland Camping Area - North Truro, Massachusetts

Spent many summer vacations at NOH. Been visiting since 1990. The campground has not changed much other than updated bathrooms. In a world where everything changes, NOH retains that old school camping charm. Bathrooms and showers are always clean. The showers are wonderful. They cost a quarter for 7 minutes. Water is always hot enough. Nice rec hall with pool tables, ping pong, Foosball, and a fireplace for those rainy cold days. Sites are decent. Most don't have electricity. Quiet hours are strictly enforced. If you came here to party all night, this is not the place for you! Great spot for families. Head of the Meadow Beach is just a short half mile walk. No pets allowed.

I have been coming here since I was a toddler (and my mother since she was a teen. She's in her 60s now, for context). We love this place. Warm and friendly and easy to stay. Feels like home.

Facilities and amenities are perfect for a Cape campground, clean, functional, and just rustic enough. The access to Head of the Meadow beach is awesome and could save you $100/week on a beach sticker if you're willing to walk/bike and pack light. They've also done a nice job adapting to the modern world and designated their Quiet Room to a bank of charging outlets for all of your various devices. Feels a little weird at first, leaving your phone in a room alone for a few hours, but I've never known of any issues. Everyone is super respectful.

Important to note that quiet hours are from 10:30pm-7:30am which is a little tricky with very young children. Our 2yo did okay with the minimal noise around our area after her bedtime at 8ish but we were glad we brought a portable white noise machine. And it was tricky to keep her quiet before 7:30 when she wakes up sometimes at 6...but easy enough to solve by taking a walk or ride to the beach for breakfast 😉

My wife and I stayed here for a week to explore properties in the area and enjoy the beaches. The management here is incredible. Upon arrival Robert, in the front office had taken the time to thoroughly explain the park rules and attractions. He worked with us to make sure we got the site that we were looking for. This gentleman was a breathe of fresh air with his kindness and big smile you could still see under his mask. The restrooms were cleaned twice a day with pressure washers and disinfectors. The walk to Head of the Meadow beach was only about 8 minutes through a gorgeous scotch bonnet pine forest. If you haven't stayed here yet... Do it!

Our absolute favorite campground. We've been returning for over 20 years. Meticulous attention to the campsites both for cleanliness but also respect and safety. Great playground. Fantastic showers for 25 cents a long hot shower. Laundry on site. Quiet hours are enforced. Walking distance to national seashore and easy biking to Ptown. We love it!!! Wonderful owners and staff as well. Very helpful.

Clean grounds, nice camp store, although the hours are a little tricky as they are closed for several hours in the middle of the day. They have nice showers for a quarter and a big recreation hall with pool, ping-pong and Foosball tables as well as a fireplace. The drinking water is excellent and it's perfectly located close to the beach and lively Provincetown. Our family has camping there for over 20 years and we love it!

We've been camping here annually for close to 40 years! Love the wooded sites, and the proximity to the gorgeous Head of the Meadow beach, both town and National Park sides. We like coming in late August when the crush of summer has abated.

My wife and I just returned from a week stay. We are veterans of many years of camping throughout New York State and Southern Ontario. Now in our 69th year, we are very specific when it comes to campgrounds and all our boxes were checked this week.

We found North of Highland restful, comfortable, friendly and clean. There are rules to be sure, but they help attract the quiet, nature-loving courteous people like ourselves.

I hope to return again very soon with grandchildren. We feel so good that this treasure will be here when we do so.

The camp itself is good, and the owners do a good job of maintaining it. It's quiet at night. However, the couple who run the Camp Shop treat people with such disrespect and abuse their power there, they put a damper on the whole experience. The Rec Center would be great if not for the gang of yearly campers kids who break the rules without consequences. The bathrooms are semi functional at best. It is a good location that is walking distance from the beach, though. But the entrance to the campground is on a dangerous intersection of the highway, so going out is risky and there was a fatal accident there, I hope they install a light.
