Adventure Bound Camping Resorts, Wellfleet, Cape Cod, MA
This campground doesn’t list it’s rates unless you input your vacation dates. So I indicated a stay from July 10 to July 17 to get an idea of what a summer stay would cost. A Primitive Tent only site would cost $36. A Premium Primitive Tent only Site $40. I think the difference is the quality of the location, with a premium site facing into the surrounding pine forest. A site with Water and 30-Amp Electric for Tent or RV is $43.
