I am planning a trip to Cape Code in July and looking for campgrounds close to windsurfing spots. Any ideas ? My skills are not that great so I need somehow flat spot ( harness / footstraps are ok).thanks

I'm not a camper, but finding a camp site in July, on the cape, may be tough. I'd try the state places, Nickerson, or Shawnee. But don't wait.
As far as windsurfing goes. If it's a northerly wind try Chapin, flat on the inside, but has to be 2 hours each side of high tide. Pleasant Bay, Orleans ,is flat and safe. For southerly winds, Kalmus beach,Hyannis, or West Dennis beach, West dennis, will be flat and safe.

There is an Island with boat only access on Waquoit bay that you can camp on. Great spot for a beginner..

Shawme is the only place I know where you can nearly always find a spot at the last minute. You hear noise from the road, try to find a spot as far as possible from the road.
Not much chance to find a spot in Nickerson
Also they have yurts which saves you from building a tent.
It is on exit 2 so affected by Cape traffic.
It is very spacious. Showers and Bathrooms are at about ????, never mind that .
