Know before you go
Town vs. Seashore Lots
Municipal lots at MacMillan Pier use a kiosk system and fill by 11 AM in summer. National Seashore lots at Herring Cove and Race Point require a separate federal fee collected at the gate.
Harbor and Dune Coverage
Cell service is reliable within the town limits but can be intermittent among the high dunes of the Province Lands. Download the NPS Cape Cod app for offline trail navigation.
Outer Cape Logistics
Fuel stations are located along Route 6 in North Truro and Wellfleet; services within Provincetown proper are limited and can be difficult to access with an RV. Stock up on mainland supplies before crossing the Canal.
Ferry and Bridge Traffic
The high-speed ferry from Boston takes 90 minutes but is prone to sea-state delays. Driving Route 6 on summer Fridays can double the travel time from Hyannis due to heavy bridge traffic.
Seasonal Shuttle Services
A seasonal shuttle connects the town center to the beaches and North Truro campgrounds, reducing the need for a car. Check the current season's schedule for the latest stop locations and hours.

National Seashore Entry and Parking Verification

Ferries from Boston and local guesthouses often sell out months in advance; always check the official NPS site for changing access to the Province Lands Visitor Center.
