Scusset Beach State Reservation is located on the Cape Cod Bay end of the Cape Cod Canal on the mainland side. Because of its location is offers spectacular views of the Bay and boats and ships as they pass through the Canal.
It is a preferred location for trailer campers and fishermen. Many have made their summer vacations at Scusset Beach a tradition for decades. There is 1 1/2 miles of frontage along the canal, as well as a 1,500-foot breakwater, and an actual fish pier. All of these combine to make it a popular “fishing hole.”
Its 98 acres contains 103 campsites 98 of which have electric hookups and shared water hookups. Flush toilets, showers, dumping station, picnic tables, and fireplaces are available. Safari Camping is available for clubs. Only Self-contained units are allowed with a 100 unit maximum. The camping season begins in late April and runs to mid-October. Off-season camping is permitted on weekends for self-contained units only.
As in all of the other Massachusetts State Parks, camping fees for state residents start at $15, non-resident fees start at $18. You may make your reservations up to 6 months in advance. Full payment is expected with 10 days. Believe me the prime spots at Scusset Beach go early so you should make your plans as early as possible!
