Bourne - Cape Cod

Winter Population - 2010 Town Census: 19,754
Summer (Estimated): 40,000

The Town of Bourne is a medium-sized rural community at the gateway to Cape Cod. The Cape Cod Canal bisects the community, with both the Bourne and Sagamore bridges, and the lift railroad bridge all located in Bourne. The canal is well known for its superb sport fishing, and for carrying ships flying the flags of all nations. The Bourne Scenic Park campground is located beneath the Bourne Bridge and is a perfect vacation location for those seeking to enjoy the activity and ever-changing vista of the canal.

Bourne has numerous quiet harbors and inlets for boating and bathing, and the shellfishing in the area is particularly enticing. Bourne is a quiet community without the summer tourist crush experienced by some of the other Cape communities. The annual Bourne Scallop Festival, which is held in early September, brings visitors from across the nation each year.

BOURNE SCENIC PARK

The Bourne Scenic Park is a family camping area located along the banks of the Cape Cod Canal in the town of Bourne, MA. Bourne is the first town on Cape Cod and is divided by the Cape Cod Canal, a 7-mile man-made waterway that is used by ships as a "shortcut" to avoid sailing around the entire Cape. We are one of a few Campgrounds on Cape Cod that allow Campfires. With breathtaking views and miles of bike trails it is an excellent place to realize your Cape Cod vacation. Bourne Scenic Park has become the vacation destination for more and more people visiting Cape Cod. Our New Pools are a welcome addition to your experience or just sit by your campfire on the Canal and watch the sail boats and commercial ships cruise by. The fall months bring with them, arguably, the best weather of the season to the Park. This time of year is extremely popular with people who travel in groups, as well as with owners of some of the larger motor homes that constantly visit Bourne Scenic Park...
