About this campground

Nestled within the windswept pines of Cape Cod National Seashore, Le Count Beach House offers an authentic coastal retreat where the rhythm of the Atlantic sets the pace for your stay. This charming two-bedroom sanctuary accommodates six guests in a setting that perfectly balances seclusion with convenience—just moments from the pristine shores of Lecount Beach and the galleries, shops, and seafood shacks of historic downtown Wellfleet. Wake to the scent of salt air filtering through the pine boughs and fall asleep to the distant sound of waves.
The Le Count Beach House is a cabin-style lodging option within Cape Cod National Seashore. It is not a traditional campground but a private rental property.
Historical SignificanceStep into centuries of maritime heritage where weathered lighthouses stand sentinel over waters that have witnessed everything from Mayflower's passage to modern-day whale migrations. The surrounding landscape tells stories of indigenous peoples, colonial settlers, and generations of fishermen who've called these shores home. Explore cultural landscapes where cranberry cultivation and coastal traditions continue to shape local life, offering visitors authentic glimpses into Cape Cod's enduring relationship with the sea.
Weather and SeasonsExperience Cape Cod's dramatic seasonal personality, where summer's gentle warmth gives way to the raw beauty of winter storms. During peak season, comfortable temperatures invite endless beach days and evening strolls. As autumn arrives, witness nature's spectacular show as fierce Atlantic winds reshape the dunes. Winter transforms the landscape into a serene, windswept wonderland where occasional snow dustings mingle with sea spray, creating a magical atmosphere for those seeking solitude and natural drama.

Natural Features and SceneryDiscover a breathtaking tapestry of coastal ecosystems spanning 40 miles of unspoiled sandy beaches where seals bask and shorebirds dance along the tide line. Beyond the beach, explore a mosaic of salt marshes teeming with life, tranquil kettle ponds reflecting cloud-studded skies, and rolling uplands carpeted with beach grass. Hidden treasures await in the form of wild cranberry bogs that burst with ruby color each autumn, creating a landscape that shifts dramatically with each season's palette.
Geological RegionImmerse yourself in the remarkable geography of Cape Cod National Seashore, where ancient glaciers sculpted a peninsula that continues to evolve with each tide. This dynamic landscape encompasses barrier beaches, tidal flats, and freshwater wetlands that support an extraordinary diversity of plant and animal species. The interplay between land and sea has created unique habitats from windswept dunes to sheltered coves, while cultural landscapes like the historic cranberry bogs remind visitors that humans have long found ways to thrive alongside nature in this ever-changing coastal environment.
