Place to park - Boston Ideas??

Looks like we may have a conference this fall in Boston. Normally we take a western tour during this time but now it has me thinking of changing things up and incorporating an eastern trip. So what I am looking for is a campground/place to leave the truck and camper where it will be safe while I attend the conference and stay in the hotel for say 4 days downtown Boston. Thanks for any ideas and suggestions.
  • Most motel/hotels will have a place for big rigs

    Very little of that in Boston. It's mostly garage parking with 7 foot clearances. However, depending on where the hotel is located there may be an outdoor parking lot nearby. Once I know the hotel I can give better advice.
  • We used to transport buses throughout the country. Most motel/hotels will have a place for big rigs, contractors with trailers etc. Of course we stayed at their business.
  • Thanks everyone. Once I learn of the hotel, I will see if they can accommodate the TC.
  • Have you checked to see if the hotel's parking can accommodate your truck camper? That seems to me to be the simplest approach, and perhaps even reasonably economical after you take into account whatever it would cost for public transit or a taxi to get from where you park to where you stay.
  • Don't know how they would feel about leaving the rig there unattended, but the closest to Boston we have found is Winter Island in Salem.
  • Closest would be the Littleton KOA but traffic getting into the city from there is rough. I would keep with your original trip plan and just stay in Boston for the conference. You are looking at upwards of an 1 hour commute from there if the traffic gods are in a good mood. Normandy Farms is the next place but from that area it could easily be two hours. The distances are deceiving-we measure travel in time, not miles. Where is the conference?
  • Moved from the Truck Camper for a broader audience.
