Welcome to False Cape Bay Sites, a serene campsite that offers a deep connection with nature. Nestled within a woodland area, this campsite is ideal for those who wish to experience the tranquility of the outdoors with opportunities for both tent and hammock camping under a galaxy of stars.
  • Camping Experience: The campsites are situated in mowed fields with paths, bordered by woodlands. They provide a perfect atmosphere for tent camping, and if you find suitable trees, hammock camping is also possible.
  • Starry Nights: On clear nights, the sky becomes a canvas of stars—a spectacular view for stargazers. Additionally, summer evenings might treat you to the ethereal display of synchronized fireflies.
  • Water and Precautions: While a hand pump on site offers water, it's advisable to bring your own or have a filtration system, as the pump water is best suited for cleaning. The mosquito and deer fly population is particularly active, so prepare accordingly with effective repellent.
  • Accessibility: The campsite is a 2.4-mile hike from the visitor center and about a 10-mile bike ride if starting from the Little Bay parking lot. The trails, although mostly service roads, provide a semblance of seclusion.

Things to Consider: Some visitors have mentioned that certain campsites (particularly numbers 10-12) might be less visually appealing due to the surrounding field and presence of poison ivy. However, the overall park remains a testament to natural beauty and peacefulness. Remember, bringing plenty of water is crucial, as there isn't easy access to readily drinkable water.

Overall, False Cape Bay Sites offers a genuine low-impact camping experience surrounded by nature's beauty, where quiet nights and serene days are the norms. Whether you are seeking solitude or simply a beautiful, untouched environment, this campsite provides a lovely getaway from the daily hustle.
