Boston, MA area camping....

We have stayed at the Boston Minuteman CG and found it suitable for visiting Boston.

Boston Minuteman is nice. Very woodsy. Close to commuter rail into Boston.

Normandy Farms is also on a commuter rail line. More stuff for the kids to do. Big place, lots of sites.

If you can boondock for a few days, Wampatuck State Park is close to downtown and you can get to a commuter boat nearby.

Please keep in mind that around here number of miles and time to travel don't necessarily correlate. There's also Normandy Farms in Foxboro.

Having lived and worked in the Boston area along with owning and operating a campground in Sturbridge Village area I would say that Normandy Farms or Middleboro KOA are your best bet. They will be the easiest to get to without a lot of traffic and both are close to commuter rail lines to Boston. Traffic in and around the Boston area is a disaster every hour of every day except for Sunday mornings. Make reservations as early as possible and have a great time, there is so much to see and do.

I'd also recommend Wompatuck state park in Hingham. I was there for 8 nights in early July. It's a very nice shaded campground, with plenty of space between sites. There is no water at the sites (or sewer connections), but there are water spigots throughout the park. I was running low on water and was able to run a hose from my MH to a nearby spigot, to add water to my tank. They only have 20 AMP service on their sites with electricity, but I was able to get by without any problems.
As mentioned earlier, the commuter boat out of Hingham to Boston (and Logan airport) is a nice relaxing, stress free way, to get into Boston

Normandy Farms...one of the best CG I have been to anywhere. Pricy buy you get what you pay for. 5Star

Thanks for the responses.

Coming all the way from Wisconsin, I would think you would want a home run. Normandy Farms is a home run, but be aware, it's not cheap. And book asap for summer of 2018, don't wait, the place fills up quickly.
