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 😉

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.

We just returned from our 2nd time camping here and again we loved everything about North of Highland - the owners & staff were very friendly & helpful, our campsite was perfect, surrounded by trees, short walk to ocean & beautiful Head of the Meadow beach and it’s conveniently a short drive to our favourite towns & beaches of Provincetown & Wellfleet. Only 7 hours from Montreal & we hope to return later this summer!

This is my 6th summer coming to this campground and i have to say its the best. Its clean, its convenient, a bike ride from the beach, all the amenities you NEED are there. Showers, bathrooms, laundry, etc. I will say that if you are looking for a party spot this isnt the place, but if you are looking for a true relaxing getaway/reset from life, come here. Its truly the best campground I've ever been to. Will come back for the rest of my life.
