Boston Minuteman Campground
Here at ATVA, we appreciate history. Boston Minuteman Campground is located 30 miles northwest of Boston, where reminders of our nation’s history are around every corner. It’s possible to camp just outside of the city and visitors can spend a few days exploring Massachusetts’ largest city.
Boston Minuteman Campground has electric hookups, picnic tables, fire pits, and Wi-Fi service. It also has a camp store, recreation center, bocce, and free movie library. This family-friendly campground is only ten miles west of the Minute Man National Historical Park, and close to the state capital of Boston.
Cape Ann Camp Site
The Cape Ann Camp Site in Gloucester is a hidden gem. Guests have their choice of electric and water RV sites in either the regular area of their campground or in the upper wooded area of their campground. Visitors need to make a reservation because the sites fill up fast. Campers should ask for a big rig site if their RV is over 32 feet. This campground is also close to local beaches, a boating area, and deep-sea fishing boat rentals.
Normandy Farms Family Camping Resort
Foxboro, MA is home to one of the most popular parks I know in the area. Consistently rated as one of the top parks in the country, this luxury campground has all the perks. With a wellness center, pools, a recreation center, and a full activity calendar, this place is fancy! Choose from basic, full, or premium sites. Golf carts and group rates are available.
Martha’s Vineyard Family Campground
Looking for the classic Cape Cod holiday? Campers can try this family campground in Vineyard Haven, and explore everything that this beautiful famous island has to offer. This is the only campground on Martha’s Vineyard. The site can accommodate RVs up to 40 feet. The sites are all wooded, shaded, and have water, sewer, and power hookups. Premium sites also have cable TV. Guests should remember to make a reservation for both the campsite and the ferry!
Circle CG Farm Campground
Campers should head over to Bellingham to meet some great people and get the real farm campground experience and country hospitality!
This is a perfect getaway for a family that likes to have fun. Some of the activities offered are swimming in pools, fishing, playing bingo, shuffleboard, and bocce. Guests can meet a small farm animal face-to-face at the petting zoo or go to the safari field to meet some very interesting creatures.
Campers will want to remember that they have storage of RVs, as well as weekly and monthly rates in case they want to return. This top-rated Good Sam Club Park is only a short driving distance from the Franklin State Forest and Old Sturbridge Village, the largest outdoor museum in the Northeast.
My Verdict
Massachusetts offers something for everyone, from back-to-basics natural campsites to fancy luxury resort camping. Well, what can you expect from the state that gave you Dr. Seuss and Plymouth Rock? There are so many things to explore in Massachusetts. It’s nice that travelers can do so in the comfort of their RVs.
