The Cape Cod (Hyannis) guide
The two nearest open spaces with RV-tolerant infrastructure are Cape Cod National Seashore and Nickerson State Park, both with on-site sourcing maintained at .gov pages. Diesel and propane run reliable through U-Haul of Hyannis on 12 Industry Rd, Hyannis, MA 02601, and tank dumping is cleanest at Sweetwater Forest ($10 non-guest). Scenic-drive options leave town via Cape Cod Old King's Highway (Route 6A) and Province Lands Road inside Cape Cod NS.
The most common arrival mistake is trying to cross the bourne or sagamore bridge on a friday in july without a 2 a.m. window plan — bridge traffic stacks 20+ mi on route 3 and route 6 during summer weekends. Every fact above traces to a primary source listed at the bottom of this guide.
When to come
