Where
We'll be staying at the Cape Cod Camping Resort in Falmouth NOTE: THIS WAS A NEW CAMPSITE FOR US A COUPLE YEARS AGO - AND IT WORKED OUT GREAT! The campsite is located at 176 Thomas B. Landers Road in East Falmouth...about 4-5 miles from the rotary on route 28 at Otis Airforce Base. This campsite has no alcohol restrictions*. However, they will be asking EVERYONE in our group to sign a liability waiver upon arrival due to the risk of stunt riding that will likely occur.
The cost is $20 for the whole weekend. No refunds for cancellations. Also: We may be riding to Otis from the campsite to the Route 151 entrance (ride distance 2-3 miles.) They will assign us campsites, but we can move around within the assignments. Just leave the same campsite on the outer edge (campsite "G") we had last year for the community firepit.
* 21 and over unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. No exceptions.

Pet Policy
Pets restrained on leashes and supervised at all times are allowed. But, we would highly discourage you from bringing your dog on the rides in respect for your fellow riders. Dogs often get in the way and can be a hazard to other riders who aren't used to them, as well as themselves. It is also necessary to make arrangements with a non-riding guest to watch out/be responsible for your dog while you are riding.
