Autocamp Cape Cod

We had the pleasure of visiting AutoCamp Camp Cod in November for a truly beautiful and relaxing glamping experience. I was pleasantly surprised with the property and our experience. I never thought of myself as any kind of camper, but this property is so thoughtfully set up that it quickly changed my mind.

THE PROPERTY

From the photos on the website, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from the property but I was so pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The campsite is right off of a main windy road. The entrance is small, so be careful not to miss it. When we entered, there was plenty of parking, and you could see the big clubhouse right in the center. Checking in was super easy. There’s a person at the front desk 24 hours a day, so even though this is sort of a camping experience, you still always have someone on site to help you out. The property has tents, airstream, and cabins for your stay. We chose to stay in an airstream.  The clubhouse has a gorgeous view of the water and is really a cozy spot to just hang out, have some food play some outdoor games. It’s a walking property and they have rolling carts all around so if you need to bring your things to and from where you are staying, it’s really easy to load up a cart and get around. It’s not a very large property, it’s a decent size, but definitely very walkable.

THE CLUBHOUSE

The clubhouse is open 24/7, and there is a marketplace inside where you can get snacks, s'mores kits, wood for your fire pit, water, and drinks. They even have merch like sweaters, socks, and hats. It’s very thoughtfully designed and feels really warm and cozy with that cabin feel you look for when camping. If you visit AutoCamp with a group and you’re staying in different airstreams, this is a really cool place where you can all gather and hang out. There was even a wedding upstairs in the clubhouse while we were there, and the setup looked beautiful.

THE FOOD

Also, in the clubhouse is an area where you can order food. In the morning, they have complimentary granola and coffee, and from 7 AM to 10 PM, you can order breakfast (in the morning), lunch, and dinner. It’s not an extensive menu, but there are still plenty of options. The only thing I would say is that there were no vegan options, so that part would be a bit tricky if you were ordering food there. They also sell grill kits with steak and chicken options, and all the sides like mac and cheese and asparagus. You can use these grill kits to cook on your individual grill. You can grill up your chicken or your steaks, and the sides are already cooked. I love that you can get a piece of the camping experience without all the hassle. As I mentioned, there is also a little marketplace where you can get snacks, drinks, and firewood. There are also many restaurants within easy driving distance. We opted to drive to a restaurant nearby because my sister is vegan. If I were alone, I would have definitely purchased a grill kit.

THE AIRSTREAM

I was pleasantly surprised by the airstream. You are given a key card just like a hotel to open your individual airstream, which I thought was a nice hybrid of camping and staying in a hotel. It was so thoughtfully designed, and they fit so much in such a small space. All the finishes felt more upscale, especially the bathroom. It was really cute and really well done. It really felt like a boutique hotel room, and with the two of us, it was definitely enough space. It’s not a place I would stay with someone I wasn’t very familiar with, though, as it’s obviously very close quarters. The queen bed was also very comfortable, and we had enough storage for all our things in the built-in closet without cluttering the room. The heat worked really well, which was amazing because I visited in late fall when it was on the colder side. Overall, it just felt really cozy. I love that we had our own private patio, grill, and fire pit. It’s actually somewhere I would personally stay by myself for some time to recharge. The airstream is also equipped with a kitchenette, including utensils, dinnerware, a tea kettle, a cast-iron skillet (for cooking on the fire pit/grill), and a microwave. It felt really safe and really serene.

THE ACTIVITIES

There are a few different activities you can do on and around the campsite, and depending on the time of year, the offerings change. We decided to rent bikes for two hours and go for a bike ride. There’s a bike trail right behind the property, which is amazing, so convenient to get to, and the views are absolutely stunning. I love bike riding so much. It gives me so much joy, and coupled with the views, it was the best experience. So relaxing, so fulfilling. We also did yoga on our second day there, which was surprisingly amazing and a great way to start the day. It was just the two of us in a tent, and it felt like a private session. I know they also offer kayaking and other events, like music by the fire pit at the clubhouse. You can check their website to see which activities they offer during your stay. You can also book ahead of your stay to secure your spot.

THE VIEWS

The views, oh the views! I’ve been going to Cape Cod since I was a kid, and honestly, I didn’t appreciate it until I got much older. It is so, so beautiful. From the marshes to the ocean and everything in between. We went at a great time because we also got to see everything with the fall foliage as a backdrop. We took a moment to stop, take it all in, and enjoy this scenic place. There’s something so freeing about being in nature.

The property is also really close to the Martha’s Vineyard ferry, so the next day we decided to hop on the ferry and take a day trip to the island. I had never been to the Fall before, and it’s my absolute favorite place to visit, so we were excited that we were able to go so easily. Check out the next blog post HERE to see our trip to Martha’s Vineyard.

Overall, I would say I absolutely loved AUTOCAMP. We had the best time, the staff was super friendly and super helpful. They also set it up so that you can text them if you need anything, and they can bring it to you. They can also help you set up your fire, so don’t worry if you’re not experienced in that area! They can pretty much help you with anything. It’s definitely a place I would recommend. I will definitely go back and visit. If you’re not a big camper but you're into glamping, this is the place for you. They also have other locations around the country, so you should check out their website to see if there’s a location near you.
