Getting to Falmouth with an RV means crossing one of Cape Cod's two bridges - the Bourne Bridge via Route 28 or the Sagamore Bridge via Route 6. Both bridges can handle RVs up to 13'6" in height, but expect potential delays during summer weekends and holiday periods. Once on the Cape, Route 28 runs directly through Falmouth and accommodates most RV sizes, though some side streets have tight turns and low-hanging tree branches. Route 151 provides an alternate route from the Bourne Bridge area and generally offers easier RV navigation. The Cape Cod Canal area has rest stops, but overnight parking isn't permitted at most locations. Several Walmart stores in nearby Buzzards Bay and Wareham allow overnight RV parking, though you should always check current policies. Winter driving can be tricky with snow and ice, plus many seasonal businesses close between November and March. Summer traffic on Route 28 moves slowly, especially near Woods Hole where Martha's Vineyard ferries depart.
