Oak Bluffs Campground
Neighborhoods / Streets, Oak Bluffs
Fodor's Review:
Don't miss Oak Bluffs Campground, a 34-acre warren of streets tightly packed with more than 300 Carpenter Gothic Victorian cottages with wedding-cake trim, gaily painted in pastels. As you wander through this fairy-tale setting, imagine it on a balmy summer evening, lighted by the warm glow of hundreds of Japanese paper lanterns hung from every cottage porch. This describes the scene on Illumination Night at the end of the Camp Meeting season -- which is attended these days by some fourth- and fifth-generation cottagers. Attendees mark the occasion as they have for more than a century, with lights, song, and open houses for families and friends. Note that because of overwhelming crowds of onlookers in seasons past, the date is not announced until the week before. Ninety-minute tours are conducted Tuesday and Thursday, July and August, at 10 AM.
