Nickerson State Park Campground 1

Stayed here for 2 nights at the end of May. We were in campground area 1. Roads were narrow and there were many low hanging branches.

Our site was a bit uneven and narrow for our 25 ft motor home but we made it work. Larger rvs should not attempt this loop. While we didn't like the site on first impression, it really grew on us. Right next to us was a trail that led directly to the lake, which was lovely.

No hookups but the access to the lake was great. Bathrooms were ok. Also, good bike trails abound. There's a dump station past loops 3 & 4.

Across the street from the park, if you turn on crosby ave, and drive all the way down, is crosby beach. Warmer water and very nice!

Stayed in site 60. Had to park and bring stuff down to set up...but wasn't that much hassle. About 15 steps down to site (very easy), after that you park across the road in a visitors parking lot. Don't let this deter you, but come prepared with gear ready to leave at site (containers, etc). Def worth it for proximity to Flax Pond. Literally had our own little trail down to pond...about 15 yards.
There are three sites next to one another...61 is prob the best with most space and level ground. 60 was quite slanted but had level ground for a 3p tent, so was perfect for us.

Pros
- Pond right next door...beautiful!
- clean bathrooms with hot water 2 mins walk away
- free hot showers in area 3 which is a 2 min drive away
- central location on the cape right on the rail trail
- area 1 is close to entrance ...6/6x and 7 are a 15 min drive into park and looked way more densely populated.

Cons
- site was not v level, try for 61
- on weekend a decent amount of traffic going down to pond. 99.9% of people super nice and trying to avoid walking thru your site.
- no car next to your site.

Bring your bikes and canoes/fishing gear!

this campground does everything right. Beautiful well spaced sites. Great bike trails with easy access to CCRT. We were in self-contained unit and therefore did not use the facilities.
