Nickerson is a great campground, mid cape cod. A great rail trail (paved) bike path passes right through the park. It is relatively easy riding. The sites are large and afford more privacy than most parks. We've decided to leave the tent at home and opt for the yurts (if you don't know about the yurts check out the web... More

Go for the pristine ponds and cool breezes. This park is easily accessible by the cape cod rail trail or by car. A very family friendly environment with boat rentals, rest rooms, shade and campsites all available. Pack a lunch and spend the day. We have been back many times.

We love to ride our bikes on Cape Cod Bike Trail that runs through the park. We can stop for restroom facilities if need be, picnic, and park in convenient lots. Great place to spend a Springtime day.

A beautiful park with many trails. We come here every time we are on the Cape and take the dog for a good long walk.

Picked up rental bikes at the resort and launched from there to visit Nickerson Sate Park. Hilly but a nice spot to relax with the kids.

My wife and I visit every trip to the Cape. Numerous camping spots, many ponds for water sports ( swimming, fishing). Many waking / biking trails. As most camping locations, the park is closed for camping off season, but open otherwise.
