About This Campsite

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.

A field surrounded by wooded area. The campsites are areas that are mowed and with mowed paths. You can hammock camp as long as there are trees nearby. You're better odds are tent camping. In a clear night you can see all the stars in the sky. And during the summer time you can see the flashing lights of fireflies in sync. Sadly the only source of water in the camp is a manual hand pump. If properly filtered it could be drinkable but not recommended. Best used for cleaning. Mosquitoes and deer flies are extremely desperate for food in this area. No repellent seems to stop them. The distance from the visitor center (2.4 miles) is an easy hike. But if you are leaving from the parking lot at Little Bay I recommend biking (10 miles). During the summer time is ungodly hot trying to get through back Bay.

I stayed at campsite 8 which was in the same area but closer to the beach. It was beautiful. Perfect weather. It truly seemed to be untouched. Almost all the trails were service roads however. The illusion of being out in the middle of nowhere was dispelled by trucks driving 20ft from camp a couple times a day. Bring lots of water as there is no easy access to drinking water, though there is a well with a pump if you have a filter. Will absolutely be going again.

Boring campsites located on a fairly unattractive meadow, and Poison Ivy vines crawl up all the trees. The location was so unattractive for me that I ultimately decided to just make my hike a day trip and left. Interesting and beautiful park nonetheless - just be sure to get campsite that is not 10-12.
