About
A Massachusetts DCR campground on Cape Cod in Brewster, with 365 individually mapped campsites live on ReserveAmerica's own per-site facility map (140 popup/tent, 185 non-electric, 40 tent-only) across seven numbered camping areas. 10 additional yurt unit(s) are also bookable here but are lodging, not counted in the campsite totals above. 7 separate group camping site/area(s) are also bookable here, separate from the individual/family campsites counted above. Note: ReserveAmerica's listing icon for this park advertises "Electric Hookup available: 15 amp," but the park's own per-site campsite map shows zero individually mapped electric sites. The electric hookup is most likely available only at this park's group camping area/shelter, not at individual family sites - don't count on an electric hookup here despite what the listing icon shows. Reservable through the Massachusetts DCR's own ReserveAmerica/Aspira contract (contractCode=MA), hosted directly at reserveamerica.com.
Fees
Campsite Fees at Nickerson State Park $22 MA resident / $70 non-resident; additionally, all non-resident campers will incur a legislated $5 per night surcharge for camping. The surcharge funds will directly benefit Nickerson State Park. There is a $4.50 non-refundable transaction charge for each reservation made. (reserveamerica.com, live per-facility fee notice)
