Although I've been to Provincetown many times, this was my first time at Coastal Acres. I usually camp in North Truro, but I liked the idea of being right in town this time. Although the manager said I didn't need to make a reservation because it was only June, I made one anyway so that I could be sure to secure a 30 AMP hookup (some are only 20 AMP). I also specifically asked for a wooded, private site. We pulled in at about 6:30 PM, but the office was closed, so we headed for our designated site. We found the site, and our small expandable camper would have been about 5 feet away from larger travel trailers on either side of us, not a tree or bush in between. I was so disappointed. We drove back to the office to check out the map posted on the door with other available sites that could be taken by arrivals with no reservation. About six RV sites were circled so we drove around and found a larger site which again had no trees or bushes in between sites, but it was the best we could find, so we took it. The next morning I went to the office to check in and told the manager of our move. He said we could not stay on that site because it was reserved starting that day. Why he circled it on the map as available seems ridiculous - why would any RV'er want to pull in, get all hooked up, only to have to move the next morning? And in our case, this also meant closing up our tent ends. I told him I had asked him for a wooded, private site, and he said my originally assigned site had a nice big shade tree (it was behind the site). I told him one tree is not my definition of wooded or private. I ended up taking a 20 AMP site. Had there been other campers in the surrounding sites, it would have been fairly tight, but no one else was in that section, so it worked out well for us. Thankfully, it wasn't hot enough to worry about using the A/C. If you don't mind camping side by side with your neighbor just so you can be close to all the happenings in Ptown, then this campground may be just fine for you. If you're in a tent, the tent sites toward the back of the campground seemed to have a lot more privacy. Also, if you're anywhere out of the high season, which starts at the end of June, don't expect to find much in their store. All I wanted was a loaf of bread and some milk - couldn't get either - they don't bother to stock the store except for July & August and holiday weekends. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a great base camp for access to the ocean beaches, the bike trails, and the town. The nice thing about Coastal Acres is the easy access to heart of town, you can walk to the center in about 15 mins. We've been camping there for over 15 years and go back every year. They don't have sewer hookups, but they do have a "honey truck" that will pump your tanks ($). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
