Camping at Wellfleet Bay
Since the 1960s, Mass Audubon members have retreated to the wilderness during their summers on the Cape. Experience the wonders of the natural world after dark at Wellfleet Bay’s campsites. Sleep under the stars and sheltering pine trees in one of our 15 rustic campsites, accommodating tents and small pop-up trailers or travel vans. Please note that camping is only available for Mass Audubon members.
